I do, because I have an interest in what is going on in India (primarily with following what is (not) being done about all the India Scam Call Centers that are stealing BILLIONS annually from our Elders). Seems that the police there are Corrupt (they get paid off to look the other way by the scam call center owners), and here in America, the authorities say they can't do anything because they are from another country, it is out of their hands, and the people who were scammed gave them permission to access their (computers, i.e. banks, etc.) It is a very frustrating situation. The best thing we can do is try to educate our elders on how to identify scammers, or how to avoid them all together. Sorry for digressing.......
Back to your question: I don't think most Americans know squat about who the leaders in India are, nor do they care. Very sad. But along those lines, /I/ don't understand the politics of India. I know religion plays a large part of their politics, but I don't know if Modi is right or left (although, with this kind of post, I'm guessing he is more right-wing and fascist than I had previously thought)
I know there are those whose religion is Hindu, I believe there are also many Muslims. I am guessing that there are also many Buddhists (as Buddha, (Siddhartha Gautama) was born there), along with some other Dharmas. I used to work with the Sikhs that owned a movie theater in Maui back in the 70s) But that is about as far as my own personal knowledge goes.
I love the Hindu and Buddhist cultures, and I have worked with many Americans with ancestry from India. I consider them people of the highest caliber. Kind, Loving, Great Work Ethics. I'm pointing this out to make sure to note that I have nothing against people from India when I am discussing this scammer call center issue. There is great poverty there, and it is difficult to find a decent paying job (which is why so many young people are able to be used in these scam centers).
