    It’s depressing to watch India come off the rails so fast under Modi.

      I was with you up until the “so fast under Modi” bit.

      Modi was chief minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014 and has been PM since then — a decade.

      It’s been a slow and predictable train wreck with a lot of momentum.

      Meanwhile, he dismantled the caste system but it’s still going strong with only the exceptions being celebrated.
