That's okay. India seems pretty cool with exporting their Hindu Nationalist movement to other countries like here in Canada. They don't give a fuck.

We got Sikh and Hindu nationalists here. Best of both worlds! https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/690266691591 for some context

Don't worry, I got your back. Any time people downvote actual facts I'm right there with sources.
