Modi's party (BJP) has swept to power in many states which it had never ruled so far. It has done so mainly by removing the names of more than ten million Muslims in voters' lists in West Bengal and many more in other states like Assam (where Muslims comprise more than thirty percent of the population). The Indian Election Commission is headed by someone appointed by Modi, so it colluded with him in disenfranchising Muslim voters. It's evident now that India is a one-party state (like China), and it is no longer what its founding fathers had hoped it would be (a secular democracy).
Modi had postponed raising fuel prices as that would have meant alienating voters, but now Indian newspapers predict that petrol and diesel prices will soon shoot up (LPG prices have already gone up by fifty percent). So we know why Modi appealed to his fellow Indians to conserve fuel, stop importing gold and reduce traveling to other countries, to conserve foreign exchange. It must've shocked those Indians who've been brainwashed into believing that their country's economy is the third largest in the world. If the Iran war continues, India will no longer be able to pretend that it's like China or the US.
