I totally agree that India is no longer looking at reality. Though my criticisms of the 'leader' are not about some kind of Fascism. It's more incompetence - the country's history textbooks have not been decolonized for 70 years. Public offerings to Hindu temples are being taken by a supposedly 'secular' government, instead of used to help uplift local economies, rebuild the country's ancient heritage, and spread its empirically replicable yogic knowledge systems. Predatory conversions by the world's two biggest religions, Christianity and Islam (who ruled India brutally for the last 800 years) is rampant. 'What is happening' in the country can be viewed from an indigenous Indic lens, or a foreign neocolonial one. Given the warmongering propaganda spewed by the West towards Iran, Russia, China, and what have you, I wouldn't trust what they claim without rigorous fact checking, let alone actually going to the country to see what's happening for myself.

That being said, India is actually the only major country that's set to meet its Paris climate targets. I can only attribute this to the fact that its current leadership recognizes the threats of climate change, which cannot be said about any other large government on Earth.
