He's talking about how the West is calling for people to emulate what Gandhi is saying here or his actions, not saying that India is in the west at least to me? Can you explain why you think he's saying India is the West?

Documenting hate-speech, conspiracy theories, apologia/revisionism, and general tankie behaviour across the fediverse
What is a Tankie?
Alternatively, a detailed blog post about Tankies.
(caution of bias)
Basic Rules:
Sh.itjust.works Instance rules apply! If you are from other instances, please be mindful of the rules. — Basically, don't be a dick.
Hate-Speech — You should be familiar with this one already; practically all instances have the same rules on hate speech.
Apologia — (Using the Modern terminology for Apologia) No Defending, Denying, Justifying, Bolstering, or Differentiating authoritarian acts or endeavours, whether be a Pro-CCP viewpoint, Stalinism or any variation of Tankie Ideology. There is no justifying Genocide.
Revisionism — Downplaying or denying atrocities past and present will result in an immediate ban.
If you're violating instance rules, you'll typically be warned. Continuing poor behaviour after being warned will result in a ban or removal of your comments. Bans typically only last seven days, but repeat infractions will have longer sentences. You may ask to be unbanned.

Slightly off topic but it's interesting that in India they don't really get the hate for Adolf. Mein Kampf still sells well over there.
I'm white British so when I went out to India for my honeymoon years ago I was thinking maybe there'd be some residual anti-colonial feelings, despite my Asian friends telling me that's nonsense. In fact, when they realised I wasn't Australian but actually a genuine English person they wanted photos taken with me as proof they'd met someone British in real life, or let their kids say hi to an English person. World's a very funny place sometimes
Sorry, very off topic
That's extremely curious. Why is that?
The linked article probably hypothesises it best by saying the caste system has things in common with Hitler's racism (with the Jews as the untouchables and the Aryans as the high castes); but it genuinely seems like one of those cultural quirks that doesn't have a particular reason.
They sell Hitler mouse mats.
West is when bad, and the more bad, the more West it is.
India doesn't consider itself Western, nor does the Western World (primarily English speaking nations and Europe), consider India western.
also i would've thought tankies would like gandhi, guess not :v
Least geographically ignorant tankie
