सन् 2014 के आम चुनाव में नरेन्द्र मोदी के सत्ता में आने के बाद से, देश के बुद्धिजीवियों व राजनैतिक समीक्षकों में इस मुद्दे पर बहस चल रही है कि आने वाले दिन कैसे होंगे। क्या वे ‘अच्छे‘ होंगे या बहुत बुरे? इस मुद्दे पर गहरी मतविभिन्नता है। मोदी की तुलना एक ओर रिचर्ड निक्सन, मार्गरेट थैचर व रोनाल्ड रीगन से की जा रही है तो दूसरी ओर हिटलर से। हिटलर से उनकी तुलना की कई विश्लेषकों ने कड़े शब्दों में निंदा की है। उनका कहना है कि न तो मोदी, हिटलर हैं और ना ही 2014 का भारत, 1930 के दशक का जर्मनी है। इन विश्लेषकों का कहना है कि प्रथम विश्वयुद्ध में हार के बाद, जर्मनी एक बहुत बुरे दौर से गुजर रहा था। सन् 1920 के दशक के अंत में आई विश्वव्यापी मंदी ने जर्मनी में हालात को बद से बदतर बना दिया था। यही वे परिस्थितियां थीं, जिनमें हिटलर और उसकी नरसंहार की राजनीति का उदय हुआ। हिटलर के उदय के पीछे एक कारक यह भी था कि जर्मनी में प्रजातन्त्र कमजोर था व केवल 30 प्रतिशत मत हासिल कर नाजी वहां सत्ता में आ गए थे।

’’Government Ministers, MPs, politicians, supporters and groups backed by the government appeared to behind almost all the reported incidents. On several occasions, Police watched by and refused to take action as these government politicians and allies attacked and threatened opposition politicians, journalists and a prominent Buddhist Monk advocating for religious freedom and harmony. As in previous months and years, there appears to be no interest and urgency in conducting investigations and prosecuting those responsible, despite the availability in some cases of ample evidence including eyewitness accounts, video and photographic evidence, most of which are in the public domain’’
