Totalitarian Government is a type of government that is distinguished by a single party or individual controlling the entire country.
Every aspect of such a society will be controlled by a single person or party. This kind of political system recognizes no limits to its authority. It regulates every aspect of public and private life wherever feasible. There may exist widespread use of terrorism, mass surveillance, restrictions of speech and restrictions on other freedoms.
In the broadest sense, totalitarianism is characterized by strong central rule that attempts to control and direct all aspects of individual life through coercion and repression.

Totalitarianism meant total control over everything; total control in every aspect of life, so that there is no privacy at all, nor independent organizations. A totalitarian government took control over every individual's life - religion, family life, economy, education... leaders of the totaliarian government were too obsessed with total control, that they didn't just eliminate their enemies but also their assistants that helped them because they saw them as a menace. Sometimes they created their own enemies, even thought they really didn't have them-- they made enemies from their friends.
A totalitarian society was a society constantly looking towards some goal. The totalitarian state never reached it's final goal. As soon as one goal was reached, it was replaced by another. However, illusion is what gave them the strength to move on. Totalitarianism, all in all meant a lasting revolution, a revolution that simply went on forever.
Hitler followed all the democratic process to come to power. Hitler joined in a political party. With his charismatic approach and oration skills, he first gained power inside his political party. With propaganda, Hitler came to power. Hitler did transform the economy from poverty to wealth.
The unemployment dropped. The standard of living increased and business profits as well, which shows Hitler really did something useful for his people. As he slowly began to gain power by increasing economic strength and military, he came into association with dictators and began to expand. As Hitler began to expand more and more, the western Europe set back and didn't want to do anything against Hitler so that they avoid the war. Anyway, war did break out in 1939 because of Hitler's unlimited ambitions. By 1943, Germany was defeated.
In this era of communication, another dictator is not possible. But, someone in some part of the world continues to try this way to achieve power.
The rise of Narendra Modi is a threat to the nation. Narendra Modi eliminated Keshubhai Patel.
Whatever happened to Keshubhai will soon happen to Advani and others.
Narendra Modi is just making use of the sacrifice of others in BJP for his own growth. Many have spent their entire life in these political parties. Right now, BJP is not reaching higher level as an organization. It is just an elevation of an individual. Narendra Modi makes everyone as a dummy.
Projecting a candidate as a Prime Minister has never happened in the history of India. BJP did this mistake.
Fortunately, Congress didn't fall into this trap. They didn't declare any candidate for Prime Minister.
Either way, it is the end of BJP as a political organization.
One way is, Narendra Modi may emerge as a dictator and the BJP will be gone as a political organization in a democracy.
Another way is, when people see the true face of Narendra Modi, people will defeat Narendra Modi. Along with the downfall of Narendra Modi, BJP also will be gone forever.
It is too late to fix this. BJP cannot withdraw his announcement of Prime Minister candidate. No other leaders from BJP can throw his or her hat for the contest of higher positions.
All BJP leaders have no other option. Just to dance to the tune of Narendra Modi; otherwise, quit the BJP.
Single leader is an accepted phenomenon in regional party; but why BJP did this mistake of depending on a single individual.
