PM Modi is the Donald Trump of India. Just as Trump threatened world's oldest continuous democracy, Modi threatens world largest democracy.

This kinda shits been going on in that region for who knows how long.
It goes on all over the world, some places more strict than the other. I recall when mixed race marriages were huge scandals in this country. We are not so far removed...
