      The next supposed candidate to replace modi is much worse. Look up Uttar Pradesh and it’s chief minister Yogi Adityanath. It’s only gonna get worse for India.

            That was a pretty old insult. Now they just call you slurs or make islamophobic comments regardless of your religious beliefs

            Also there’s no proper “left” in India. It’s just the RW disguised as left and as soon as a topic related to nationalism arises they show their true colours.

      I find it jarring that the world seems to be turning a blind eye, India is almost on the same level of Russia at this point, people are killed in protests, opposition leaders get arrested on bs or even no charges (edit: and it was recently amended by BJP(Modi), 2018 ig, that guilty until proven innocent, I won’t bother explaining why it’s bad), laws are constantly amended to give the ruling party more power, both the ED and EC and the lower level courts are practically extensions of the ruling party and they don’t even bother hiding it, media praises modi 24x7, there hasn’t been a single press conference since 2014, and there is even a new scheme where if you want to participate in any sort of social media, you have to practically get registered with the government, and they can strike down any content they want without any warning

      Oh wait, India is a trade partner of the US? Sorry my bad

    The same country that is looking into creating their own democratic index because they’re falling on the real ones now is too focused on rights. Seems totally coincidental.

      If reality doesn’t reflect your views, you just change your reality. That’s very common unfortunately…

    His state has built a massive cricket stadium with his name.

    And both pavillion ends of the stadium have names of his capitalist masters, Adani and Ambani.

    Which makes for a fucking hilarious mental image of him getting spit roasted by his corporate masters.

      The sad thing is that he’s done actual good for his country along with his raids on journalists and incitement of violence.

    When future mutated kids read about this in history books from their bunkers, they’re going to think we’re making it all up.
