Ideologically speaking, till now West has looked upon India as a country with an imposed Western democracy, a democracy that requires oversight by the West, to make sure India lives up to the liberal democratic ideals as perceived by the West.

West doesn't see India with an own democratic culture as West sees democracy itself as a Western (Greek) invention.

In this regard, it was important that on Feb 8th, 2021, Modi gave this clarification in Indian Parliament.

PM Modi said, "Our democracy is not a western institution. It's a human institution. India's history is filled with examples of democratic institutions. We find mention of 81 democracies in ancient India."

Just as Western democracies have formulated what their political-philosophical values are that they cherish and they wish those values to be embodied in their democratic setups, so too India decides what values India cherishes.

India is a DHARMIC CIVILIZATIONAL DEMOCRACY.

One value, which forms the bedrock of such a civilizational dharmic democracy is its survival and preservation.

Second value is the enshrinement of those Dharmic Principles within the Constitution itself, but more important than writing them down is living by them.

As India moves towards Dharmic Democracy, West would have to move to accept that change.

From where India stands, Western democracy looks lesser & lesser attractive. Why? Because Western democracy is already in its last developmental phase, where it has started feeding on itself

Indians will not be brow-beaten to accept Western prescriptions of how to run India or accept Western criticism of Indian society & polity.

In real time, Indians have seen how liberal institutions in the West have started to undermine Indian democracy despite its liberalism.

Western Liberal attacks on India, be it on the

• issue of Abrogation of Article 370 for Jammu & Kashmir, or be it on

• issue of #CitizenshipAmendmentAct #CAA, or be it on

• issue of #FarmLaws2020

all have shown that Western Liberals will resort to lies & misrepresentation

These attacks have broken Indian bonds to Western Liberalism, where the latter is seen as vicious and outright evil.

Western Liberalism has resorted to mass propaganda and slander of India and Modi through its media instead of debate with any so-called "Hindutva nationalist".

Western Liberalism's full embrace of #CancelCulture has meant that they can simply do vilification of India, without needing to debate anybody with a contrarian mindset.

Western Liberalism's cancelling of Hindus has meant that they have basically cancelled everything good in WL.

Liberalism was about freedom to question everything. Debate was an essential part of Western Liberalism. #CancelCulture means just the opposite.

So how does #WesternLiberalism overwritten with #CancelCulture deal with the #ArgumentativeHindu?

It can't, when all it has is lies.

Lies on #Article370, #CAA, #FarmLaws2020 by Western Liberals has meant a serious breakup with India.

No, there is no other Indian constituency with whom Western Liberals can have their own conversation on their own terms. That Lutyens/JNU bunch has little influence left in India

Unless Western Liberals shed their racism and decide to have the conversation with Hindus and accept that India will pursue an independent democratic polity, there can be no meeting of minds.

This leads to a scenario where Western democracies actively undermine Indian democracy

How contraintuitive is that?

Western Liberal democracies undermining other democracies in the world!!!

Western Liberals' obsession with ideological control and power is leading to an implosion of Liberal ideology.

Not just that. It is leading to West losing friends. fast.
