A brand new extremist Hindu motion made up most commonly of younger males is rising in India. They name themselves “trads” – quick for traditionalists – and so they mimic the methods and strategies utilized by the American alt-right.
Trads love memes and detest mainstream Hindu nationalist events, even the ruling BJP.
They see the birthday party and High Minister Narendra Modi as no longer just about as competitive sufficient in advancing Hindu pursuits. In a unprecedented on-camera interview we talk to a 16-year-old trad who is obsessive about fascist concepts and needs a Hindu monarchy.
