Blaming Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the BJP, and the RSS for bearing responsibility for every significant and minor issue has become a prevailing trend in our nation. This trend was recently exemplified by a viral post, where a user on X platform shared a video depicting an Indian individual facing harassment from another man. The video’s commentary background suggested that this incident occurred in Poland, where an American tourist was seen mistreating the Indian man. The American tourist behaviour included racial slurs and a clear aversion to immigration, implying that individuals with skin tones different from white were unwelcome in Poland, Europe and in the United States.
An X handle goes by the name Dravidian, and with profile picture of Rahul Gandhi tweeted, “ Now, In Europe, Downfall embarassment to Hindus(Due to Modi’s RSS ideology). The situation of Indian Hindus who are abroad due to the religious tensions raised by PM Narendra Modi’s BJP Political party and His Terrorist organisations RSS,VHP, Bajrang Dal. Now, the Hindu community may be in danger because of the Modi-BJP government. BJP, RSS,VHP and Bajrang Dal are putting the entire Hindu community throughout in World in danger for their Own benefits and political power. Right now at abroad local citizens are just scolding later they may attack! (Modi-BJP-RSS should STOP both directly and indirectly using Hinduism for their Hidden RSS terrorist activities).”
The video posted by Dravidian quickly garnered over 94,000 impressions and received over 800 likes in a remarkably short span.
Journalist Waris Masih quoted the Dravidian tweet and wrote, “The video posted by Dravidian quickly garnered over 94,000 impressions and received over 800 likes in a remarkably short span.”
The critical inquiry here is whether the uncivilized racist conduct of the Polish man should be attributed to BJP/RSS or PM Modi. To uncover the truth and provide a comprehensive account of the assertion, let’s engage in a thorough fact-checking process.

Fact Check
We started our process by looking at the news articles related to this particular. We got an article from September 2022. The Indian Express published a report titled, “ Indian man racially abused in Poland, called ‘parasite’ and told ‘go back to your country”
Indian Express reported, ‘An Indian man endured racial abuse in Poland, reportedly from an American individual who labeled him a “parasite,” “an invader,” and instructed him to “return to your country.” A video capturing this incident has gained viral traction on social media. While it remains uncertain in which city the video was filmed, Twitter users have been addressing the Warsaw Police while discussing the matter.’
Moreover, the Indian Express report has nowhere mention of the BJP/RSS or PM Modi, but it did mention that internet users condemned this act and called it racial abuse.
In addition to The Indian Express, News18, NDTV, and numerous other reputable media outlets have extensively covered this incident, presenting a congruent narrative. None of these reports have implicated the BJP or the Prime Minister in the unfortunate event that has cast a shadow over the international community.
Therefore, the claims made by the Congress worker, Dravidian are highly misleading. The shared video is a year old and had nothing to do with BJP/RSS or PM Modi.
Furthermore, the assertion put forth by the Congress representative exudes a palpable animosity towards the globally acclaimed leader, Prime Minister Modi. In essence, the Congress party member bears a striking resemblance to an American tourist who has directed racial slurs at Indians; in both instances, there is a discernible thread of entitlement and privilege at play.
