it varies a lot and is pretty chaotic. It breaks down along ethnic, religious, caste lines - in any city a neighbourhood will probably be controlled by street muscle from the dominant group there, who choose to give their allegiance to a party based on historical ties or who can buy them off the best.

the Gandhi's may 'own' the INC but there's a lot of power devolution between leadership and what happens on the street level. If the leadership is perceived as too weak or does something to piss the street muscle off there'sr splits into regional parties (that's why there's a thousand parties called Congress) or the leadership gets couped (what Modi did to the 90s era bjp leaders)

to what degree d'you reckon #sayyestowar is an actually grounded thirst for war over kashmir in india as opposed to bougie BJP people holding the party line?

as always, india isnt a monolith and it probably depends. breaks down along class, ethnic, regional and religious lines:

- muslim indians probably dont want it, for obvious reasons
- middle class indians in general have more leisure time and tvs so cable news has rotted their brains because every single channel is more or less FOX
- south indians have a very different culture from the rest of india and identify less with india as a country, so hypernationalism doesnt work there to the same extent
- lots of street level party activists only care about pakistan only insofar as its an excuse to pogrom/harass/loot muslims or just have a good ol fashioned effigy burning or riot

khan campaigned on refusing to take money from the imf and the first thing he did once he got into office is to take money from the imf

i know squat about india but a south indian friend hated learning hindi in school. his personal order of languages was like tamil, english and then hindi

also the prevalence of street muscle is something i've heard about as well. like if you want to start out in politics you start out as part of a street gang, essentially. there's this pervasive state of low-level political violence.

South India has had riots and people dying over the imposition of Hindi. To this day India has a structured mishmash of different forms, procedures blah blah in different languages for different regions instead of a unified official language. Mass illiteracy doesn't help of course
