Scholars say Nandy was at his [[Satire|satirical]] best when he made the comment but the [[sarcasm]] was lost on his detractors. They took this as an opportunity to attack him. But Nandy's sarcasm is well known in academic circles who were not surprised by the comment. In fact, he found support from academic quarters. Interestingly, three years later, in 2016-17, he received the KK Daomdaran Award from the Sree Narayana Mandira Samiti, Mumbai for his lifetime achievement as a scholar and intellectual, and for his contribution to the cause of the marginalised communities and castes | Scholars say Nandy was at his [[Satire|satirical]] best when he made the comment but the [[sarcasm]] was lost on his detractors.

A trained psychologist, he wanted to study the mentality of the rising [[Hindu nationalism|Hindu nationalists]]. One of those he met was [[Narendra Modi]], who was then a little-known [[Bharatiya Janata Party|BJP]] functionary. Nandy interviewed Modi for several hours, and came away shaken. His subject, Nandy told [the reporter], exhibited all the traits of an [[Authoritarianism|authoritarian]] personality: puritanical rigidity, a constricted emotional life, fear of his own passions, and an enormous ego that protected a gnawing insecurity. During the interview, Modi elaborated a fantastical theory of how India was the target of a [[Global Conspiracy|global conspiracy]], in which every [[Muslims|Muslim]] in the country was likely complicit. ‘Modi was a [[Fascism|fascist]] in every sense,’ Nandy said. ‘I don’t mean this as a term of abuse. It’s a diagnostic category.’” | ||
