Have you heard of Arthashastra? india is hardwired to attack its neighbors and befriend the far.
Yes I am familiar with it. The thing about India is that it is not one monolithic entity. You have to know how to play to its different parts. Whoever subjugated India in the past did the same, whether it was Turkics, Mughals or British, they used one part against the other.
I mentioned billionaires, then there are other fault lines, upper castes (Brahmin, Kshatrya, Bhaisya), lower castes like Shudra and even lower Dalit, Adivasi etc., then there is Muslim, Christian, Sikh, Buddhist etc. The drive towards supremacy I think comes from the upper castes who may not be in the majority. Then there are political parties like Congress, BJP etc.
In the end, if some policy is good for the masses in India and the billionaires and the media are under control, the supremacist minority can be defeated at the polls. That is the beauty of democracy.
