    I am glad that the rest of the world is finally finding out just how insane Indian politics is. There’s a lot of fearmongering, grandstanding, and really stupid political stances going on in India, along with rampant human rights abuses.

    You think Republicans in the US are insane? They’ve got nothing on what goes on in India.

      Most Indians they have emigrated out of that shithole country will never talk about this kind of thing or any of the actual lawlessness, level of corruption, bigotry, and religious intense that happens in India.

      I’m an Indian who’s moved to the US and I’m pretty pissed off that the US openly welcomed Modi after the was banned for what he did in the riots in the early 2000s.

      Hopefully the world gets to know the real India.

        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.
