Putting aside the fact that India lives an electoral marathon that lasts 72 days and a series of voting rounds to cover a constantly increasing population, in India we might have a preview of what we might see in Europe soon. A nationalist, xenophobic and racist political figure is fast climbing to the Prime minster’s seat endangering not only India and the region but also the whole world.

Narendra Modi is not a controversy politician who most likely will be the next Indian Prime minister. There is absolutely no controversy about him, his past and his ideas; everything is loud and clear. On 27 February 2002, a train with several hundred passengers including large numbers of Hindu pilgrims was burned near Godhra, killing around 60 people. Following rumours that the fire was carried out by Muslim arsonists, anti-Muslim violence spread throughout Gujarat. Estimates of the death toll ranged from 900 to over 2,000, while several thousand more people were injured. Guess who one of the organizers was.

And this is a case known due to the court cases that followed and of course none of them found anything incriminating Narendra Modi. In 2008 the events in Mumbai increased the anti-Muslim feeling in India and as it was natural Modi was always there pressing the right buttons with his rhetoric which increasingly stepped up from prejudice to become racist. A few weeks ago in a speech included in his campaign he warn all the Bangladeshis who live in India that time has come to start packing.  He tried to cover his message with the political correct “the illegal Bangladeshis immigrants”, but he had already lay his target. And to be more specific we are talking about a community of 20 million people.

The 1983 Nellie massacre claimed the lives of at least 2,191 Bangladeshis, though unofficial figures run to more than 5,000 and it has been described as one the largest and most severe pogroms since WWII. What Mr. Mobi has in mind remains a mystery. A mystery closer to a nightmarish thriller.

You see Mr. Mobi in 16 days will be able to rest his finger on a button that can trigger nuclear bombs. Pakistan has already complained about the treatment of their coreligionists and they have asked for the international community to interfere. And Pakistan India relations have been for long tensed. Actually Pakistan-India with Middle East is the hottest spots the last fifty years with the risk of a war a daily issue. And imagine the spark a nuclear bomb will inflame in the region. Korea is not far and Middle East is just round the corner. What was missing till now was a little Hitler in the region.

Most of the mainstream Indian politicians have dealt with Narendra Modi as if he is a stubborn child or a populist with a lot of coverage but without real power. Most of the mainstream parties ignored all the warnings, the surveys and the polls. And here it is, Narendra Modi is walking towards the prime minster’s office without stop.

But who could stop him? For ten years a coalition government comprised by 14 parties from the entire Indian political spectrum, led by the National Congress and despite all the promises for change and the end of corruption has been proved worst than any other in the past. Independent organizations report that bribery to police and politicians for the last year in India has reached 15 billion dollars. And these are only cases that have been reported publicly. The rising Indian economy of the beginning of the 21st century was swollen by corruption, nepotism and favourism. Growth reduced by 50% unable to help the increasing unemployment and the slum-dwellers expanded in all the big cities. The same time Mumbai’s IT neo-millionaires turned employment into slavery in the name of competition and work conditions in plain inhuman reminding the darkest periods of India.

This is where Narendra Modi comes. Anti-establishment accusing all institutes as corrupted and criminal; anti-immigration the contemporary anti and he spiced everything on the top with anti-Muslimism investing in old passions. Does that remind you of anything? Just change the names and the area. Michaloliakos in Greece, Timo Soini in Finland, Geert Wilders in Holland and the European stars: Marine Le Pen in France and Nigel Farage in UK. The last two in countries with a nuclear button.

Nobody took a serious stand with Narendra Modi in India, nobody tried to show to the people what this man really represents. They let him preach hate and limit them in constant defence due to their own sins. They are actually responsible of his existence and now the rest of us have to deal with him while he will play with the doom-button. May 16th marks the day that the Indian general election’s final results will come out verifying that a little Hitler is in charge of the Indian nuclear arsenal. A week after we are going to see the rise f many little Hitlers all around Europe and we are doing …what?
