India has entered an era of McCarthyism

"McCarthyism is widely considered to be the darkest period in the recent history of the United States. During this period, put simply, the state apparatus, such as the FBI and the Tax Authorities, filed false cases against virtually every well-known journalist and hundreds of influential leaders in Hollywood. It was the period when America saw a "red under every bed". Now, in a trend that started ten years ago--we in India are beginning to imagine a seditious, anti-national bug under every rug."

The only time India was under a McCarthyistic rule was during Indira and Emergency. Kenaiya Kumar could never have made speech after speech on intolerance and attacking Modi and the ruling BJP. He would have made at best 1/4th of the speech and would have continued his speech stating the opposite after 2 months with a broken leg and in a wheelchair.

Kenaiya Kumar is a shining example of India's freedom of speech and tolerance. Imagine someone making the same speech and threat against Obambi..just imagine.

His sister-in-law is a commie politician. So naturally he will cry McCarthyism. BTW Arundhati Roy was charged under sedition during the UPA rule.
