Moderators, please read this post fully before moderating and do facilitate an informed discussion on this rare footage where PM Modi articulates his stance on secularism:
b) why his views have gained traction in the previous two election cycles;
c) can the dominant counter-narrative against secularism, established by Modi, be overturned not only academically but also politically?
d) are the people and institutions challenging the aforementioned dominant counter-narrative (let's refer to them as the "opposition") approaching it correctly in this election season?
e) why did the opposition fail in the previous two election cycles?
f) what additional mitigation measures should the opposition immedilately adopt to avoid repeating past mistakes (which led to the electoral debacles of 2014 and 2019)?
g) Is the devil lurking in the details? Are there harsh truths in Modi’s remarks that he's exploiting, knowing his opponents lack the courage or capability to confront and address with meaningful policy?
