Extreme Sanghi parents living in the US
My parents are extreme Modi supporters and we don’t even live in India, we’ve been in the US since I was a toddler.
My dad literally wants Sanskrit to be the official language of India even though literally no one even speaks it anymore. He wants India to be a Hindu state and he has blatantly said that he wants India to be like Israel.
He wants India to be a state where Muslims are treated like second class citizens, not only societally like they are now, but also by law, as in, put it in the Constitution that Muslims legally don’t have the rights that Hindus do. This is the best case scenario, but he sees the eventual end goal of this as expelling all Muslims from India whether by deportation or more explicitly cruel means.
He’s deluded into thinking that Brahmins are the most oppressed group in India, citing the reservations and stuff.
The worst part of this is that I can’t even speak up against it because he refuses to listen. Whenever I try to talk to him he gets angry and the other day he just straight up stormed out of the house rather than listen to a word I say. He has this ebook by fucking Rajiv Malhotra that he read called “Who is Raising Your Children?” that convinced him that universities are indoctrinating students with Marxism and turning them trans and a bunch of other bullshit, and when I tried to debunk it, he went out of the house and stayed in the park for a few hours before coming back because me just speaking up against that book caused him to fume with anger.
He also recently bought a Tesla, and when I told him that Musk is a white supremacist Nazi, he at first didn’t believe me, and then said that it didn’t matter because Musk is a “business genius” and so whatever company he owns must have the best product to justify buying the thing.
My dad only really hates Trump because he said a few bad things about Modi, but he supports everything that Trump is doing.
What really gets me the most though is that he’s a normal parent to me but so genuinely spiteful and hateful towards others. You know that saying, “if there is 1 Nazi at a table with 9 other people, then there are 10 Nazis at the table”? This is how it is when I maintain any sort of relationship with my own fucking parents! I don’t get how they can treat me as a normal human being and then turn around and be the most hateful people towards anyone who isn’t a Brahmin Hindu BJP supporter.
What do I even do at this point?
