Founded in 1950, modern India is a federal parliamentary democratic republic, with 28 states and 8 union territories. At the 2019 election, almost 614 million people voted, a record 67.1% voter turn out. The Bharativa Janata Party (BJP) was re-elected with a single-party majority, the first since 1971 to do so. With its alliance partners in the National Democratic Alliance, it won 353 of the 543 seats in the lower house or Lok Sabha. Since then many have speculated that the BJP is creating a dangerous political and social environment.
Yes, the Bharativa Janata Party (BJP) is dangerous
80% of the Indian population identify as Hindu – about 966 million people. The BJP is a dangerous regime using the prevalence of Hinduism to create a hostile nationalist state.
The BJP has dangerous policies based around Hindutva
Many of the BJP's policies are actively dangerous to some Indian citizens.
No, the Bharativa Janata Party (BJP) is not dangerous
The BJP has been demonised by the international media. This is unjust as it has done many positive things as well as not being an outlier internationally.
Far from being dangerous, the BJP has achieved a lot
The BJP had ambitious policies, which positively affected many areas of the Indian population's lives.
