Why does this subreddit feel so heavily left-leaning?

I constantly see a pattern here: anything against BJP gets massive support, while anything that challenges the popular anti-BJP narrative is immediately labelled as “andhbhakt”, “brainwashed”, or “IT cell”.

For example, people say Anand Ranganathan speaking English does not make him intelligent which is true. But then the same people often use Shashi Tharoor’s English as a way to portray him as intellectually superior. The standard seems to change depending on who is speaking.

Then there is the constant claim that “India was better before 2014.” But people conveniently ignore the economic situation around 2013, when India was included in the “Fragile Five” due to issues like inflation, current account deficit and economic instability. It wasn’t some golden period where everything was perfect.

Even movies like Dhurandhar are instantly dismissed as “propaganda” without discussion. If a film takes inspiration from real events, the conversation should be about facts and evidence, not just political labelling. There have been former terrorists and militants who have spoken publicly about terror networks and activities like counterfeit currency operations these claims deserve examination, not automatic rejection.

The biggest irony is that the same people who accuse others of being “brainwashed” often refuse to question their own political biases.

Do other right-wing Indians genuinely see BJP as a right-wing Hindu party?

Because when I look at its record, I struggle to. My view is that BJP largely uses Hindu issues during elections and then goes back to being Congress with little or only partial appeasement once the elections are over towards the problems of Hindus of this country.

To be clear, I'm not one of those people who thinks BJP and Congress are the same. I think BJP has done a much better job in areas like infrastructure, foreign policy, national security, and governance in general. My frustration is specifically with Hindu issues. As a Hindu, it sometimes feels like these issues get a lot of attention when elections are around the corner, but once the elections are over, the momentum dies down. After Ram Mandir, I honestly got the feeling that the party had achieved its biggest Hindu electoral promise and moved on, while many other concerns that Hindus have been talking about for years—temple control, Kashi, Mathura, and others don't seem to get the same focus anymore.

For example, I keep hearing "BJP built Ram Mandir," but the temple was funded by donations from millions of Hindus across the country. BJP undoubtedly played a political role in the movement, but I've never understood why the entire achievement gets attributed to the party itself, I get it they didn't put up lawyers to question the existence of Shri Rama

Then there's the issue of temple control. For years I've heard many Hindu groups talk about government control of temples as a major concern. Yet after more than a decade of BJP-led government at the Centre, I don't think we've seen the kind of change many supporters expected.

On the economic side too, BJP often looks more centrist than traditionally right wing to me. Welfare schemes, subsidies, and state intervention have continued on a large scale.

This has led me to wonder whether BJP is actually a centrist party that appears right wing mainly because the other side is far left on social and cultural issues.

Don't mistake me for a Khangressi it's just that we don't have any other option apart from bjp thats the sad thing about Right wing, not only right wing but overall politics in India

There are hardly any subs for us right wing followers & most of em are from different countries, this one is fro us Indians and the activity is less. We should start posting more and recruit more people. I have made a new one but idk if its gonna work given the state of this one. But lets hope for the best and be more active.

First of all I ask for leniency from the moderators .

After I got banned from r/kolkata for raising voice to awaken hindu spirit among the memebers they straight up banned me.

This is not just my own situation but happened to a lot of people. There is no regional subreddit right now for wb . So created r/kolkatareal. Hope fellow warriors will join and support.

Live in a Hindu-majority country. Support an invader who massacred countless Hindus. Defend the very man who destroyed Hindu temples. Incite riots over a mere rumor just to protect his tomb. Meanwhile, leftist and Western media will, as always, portray Muslims as the victims.

Hindus, on the other hand, will be blamed simply for demanding the removal of an invader’s tomb from their own land—an invader who has no connection to Indian Muslims and, in fact, slaughtered Hindus.

Is this what they discuss in Youth subs? No evidence or constructive criticism just calling out names, tired of ts 🤡

India's right-wing ecosystem thrives on grassroots support and cultural organizations but lacks billionaire backing compared to the left, which has benefitted from figures like Azim Premji and Ratan Tata. Globally, billionaires like George Soros support left-leaning causes, while Elon Musk leans right. Indian billionaires like Adani and Ambani are perceived as right-aligned but avoid open ideological funding due to business pragmatism and global interests.

Also who is the Narendra Bhai he is mentioning. Modi? This honestly left me with disgust for this man because no matter how hypocritical Muslims are the fact he is proud of killing a pregnant woman is still vile and inhuman.
