Yes, that’s the question. Can Hinduism grow fascistic in the way the RSS seems to want?

The British were not fascists. They simply co-opted and partly replaced the local ruling classes, and installed English (not European ideology)

It doesn't have to properly cohere. Just set up all the state bureaucracy in your favorite language and punish people who don't adhere to it. Make it their problem to learn your language or else. It's not like the Soviets had to learn a whole bunch of Central Asian languages.

Watch the party that currently calls itself BJP, and see what they'll do if they do well in the elections next year.

does India have some coherent national idea throughout individual identities? Religion is usually good at uniting people across cultures

hypothesis: the necessary catalyst for a full-blown fascism outbreak is a sufficiently aggrieved majority culture + an elite class that has lost it's legitimacy and is weak against the advances of that aggrieved majority culture. U.S. not looking great these days. India? dunno.

probably not but same is the case with true liberalism. I do not think even a word exists for "liberalism" in any of the Indian languages that come to mind

Soviet Union? Maoist China? (Lots of small ethic groups and regions.) → Also interesting how both of them used enforced national language & destruction of regional culture to consolidate state power.
