I would not frame it as "real India", but as what has happened since 2013 national elections, BJP neofascist Hindutvavaadis took over the government, media and legal institutions. The problem is BJP's supporter base is sizeable, and it kind of is proportionally similar to how half of USA supports Republicans.
The real India is not neofascistic, many people hate the poison of news and TV media, nationalistic movies and Hindu-Muslim vitriolic politics.
