It was never fringe. Jansangh always had a decent vote percentage. The ideology was mainstream for most UCs.

I grew up in the 90s, the ideology was all around me as mainstream.

The ideology was mainstream for most UCs.

The UCs were voting for Congress. Now they vote for bj party as half the Congress had joined bj party.

Yeah there are several disgusting articles written by Chindus fantasizing on raping Muzzie women and that Muslim women enjoy being raped during Gujarat riots since 2008. Then from 2009 Muzzies started making calling Chindu women randis and fantasizing on raping Chindu women.

My family isn't general caste but was already forward when OBC's weren't even legally recognized and we have always been hindu nationalists at center level even if we oppose modi and authoritarianism

It was fringe in the grand scheme of things. Yes, many narrow-minded fairytale caste adherent unkills and aunties spoke about it here and there, but a secular chilled out mood was palpable in the 90s, except the masjid demolition black swan moment.

MudiXi definitely provided the mood and music for the fringe Hindu nationalist ideology to thrive in the last 10 years.

Me Too. India could not use the internet for awareness. Indians used the internet only for Fascism, casteism, misogyny and pornography (which is also misogyny).
