Much of the media coverage of the latest Pew Global Attitudes survey has focused on how Prime Minister Narendra Modi is still incredibly popular among Indians of all stripes. But another of the survey’s findings reveals more about Indians’ attitudes to government: more than half the people agreed that military rule was a “good way” of governing the country and even more felt a “strong leader” free of parliamentary or judicial checks would be a good choice.

India is one of only four countries where half or more citizens approve of military rule as a norm.

Shocking to say the least. Are they not aware of Indian history, haven't learned anything from '75 emergency?

Since the days of TN Seshan Indians have held the belief that a strong but principled dictator is good for the country. So this piece of news is not revelatory or shocking.

Tamil nationalists will support a military coup in India. Any and all help will be offered to the coup.

They are obviously fed up with extreme Sickularism that has been destroying the country.

What?. Do you mean to say a military coup will be the end of the current colonial India and hence Tamil nationalists would support it. ?

Instead of stupidly chanting India, if we grab the chaotic situation, it would be a good time to declare independence. Armenia, UkrAINe were formed following a military coup in Soviet UNion.

Military coup is not good anywhere. It will result in unnecessary violence and destruction. It is better to split in a democratic and peaceful manner.

How many countries were formed in democratic manner after 1950?

I cAN think of only 1. Slovakia. Actiually it was born following the collapse of Soviet Union but it was done peacefully and democratically. Two possible democratic separation are Scotland and Quebec IF PEOPLE VOTE FOR IT.

There is no situation anywhere else.

They can practice what they preach i.e. move to Pakistan or North Korea to experience their wishes firsthand.

If Sickularists move to PakiSatan or N Korea, that would be even better because they will learn how tolerant Kafirs are.

But they aren't the ones wishing for strong dictatorial leadership to turn their country around; that trait belongs to Trump & Modi supporters. Kafirs, as you label them, are for the most part were Indians(i.e. Hindus) to begin with; those who migrated from Turkey/present ME region have made India their country centuries ago and want to live in harmony. It is only befitting that intolerant & Hindutva mongering idiots lived with the folks that 'think and act' like them.
