Typically, I misplayed the bounce on the Pankaj Mishra post earlier today about the reverence among Hindu nationalists for Hitler and Zionism. My friend of Indian extraction gets it right:
That’s one thing I love about the Israel-India alliance– Indian neo-Nazis teamed up with the pro-Israeli right. Remember that the next time Krauthammer and Kristol talk about an Israeli-Indian alliance against Islamic militancy. The irony is that Pakistani Islamists thrive in that environment as their reason for being is defending “Muslims” against Hindu (and Israeli “Jewish”) threats.
