I don't consider what-about-ism a fallacy.

In fact, it's an important way to identify hypocrisies and double standards.



Again, how does what a woman who died before I or the majority of India was even born relevant to what BJP is doing NOW?

The BJP has now been in power at the center for the majority of this century. Blaming everyone else is just evading responsibility


Indira Gandhi was 3 to 4 generations ago. All those who are critical of Modi's method now are just as critical of Indira Gandhi's methods, they are the same barring the difference that IG had made it official.

The point remains that IG is now an object of history, the people from her congress are mostly dead, if not all dead. On the other hand Modi and his methods are an objective reality now.

I don't see how it follows that IG's grandson would adopt the methods adopted by her. In fact it is offensive to suggest that.
