my sense is the hard left is gaining, mostly due to despair. I'm an anti-marxist I guess, also sort of a recovering Marxist
The most dangerous shit goes down when the capitalist class itself gets ideologically radicalized. That's happened to some extent in India right now, where support for right-wing hindu nationalists in the business community is driven by cultural insecurity rather than tax breaks.

Depends on what you mean by powder keg. You're talking about Hindu-Muslim relations going back 1000 years that have seen major wars and slaughters and most recently 1 million dead in the partition. On that scale I'm not worried.
