Can Raghuram Rajan point to a single majoritarian legislation or ordinance passed by the Modi government?

Allegations of majoritarianism are thrown about just because you don't like the admittedly abrasive tone of some Modi supporters on Social media
There are extreme views in just about any society

Even the supposedly "moderate" political entities in the Anglosphere like UK, US, Australia

And yes, in any society there will be a party of "progress" / radicalism, and a party of conservation / reaction
At both ends of the spectrum, you will have extreme views -

E.g. Let's annihilate caste (on the Left)

Let's ask Muslims to go to Pakistan (on the Right)

But that's by no means representative of the policy plank of the center-right and center-left parties of the land
E.g.

We do have virulent white nationalists in US. And many of them likely vote for the Republican Party

But that does not make the GOP a party of white nationalism

Far from it
Extreme views (however unpalatable and nasty) cannot be stifled

Too much stifling can result in a discourse that is overly politically correct and anti-septic that refuses to ask difficult questions
