16. There were no Hindu supremacists before independence

Modi is also not a Hindu supremacist - some people in his party are. There are many quotes attributed to Modi which he never uttered. The Hindu pride movement came about in India because many Muslims purposely acted against India's national interests. They opposed birth control as opposed to Hindus and demanded a right to polygamy which is not allowed even in many Muslim countries such as Turkey, Egypt, Syria, Malaysia and Indonesia which has been widely seen as "population creep" to gain more power.

Many Muslims were caught openly supporting Pakistan and taking an active role in Pakistani terrorist attacks in India.

After centuries of Muslim invasions and terror, India's Hindu population is now becoming assertive. I don't see it as a bad thing. Go to any corner of India and you'll see Hindu temples and deities desecrated by Muslims. You need to learn more about Indian history and culture before forcing an American uppity attitude on people who have been oppressed in their own country for a thousand plus years.
