For two years, Hindutva Watch has chronicled unreported hate crimes and violence against India’s religious minorities, earning it some powerful enemies.

      All Indian mainstream media champion BJP’s religious persecution of minority religions (directly currently at Muslims & Christians). They openly share fake news or present twisted version of events to cast non-Hindus in a bad light. They are used by the BJP to spead misinfo, disinfo, and propaganda and these anchors and their media houses know it.,Yet they continue since it gets them money, proximity to power, & a shield against threats of violence from the hindu supremacist mob they’ve helped create. Mainstream media is called godimedia (godi = lap) aka lapdogs in India and they’re sure to ramp up their hate factories, since national and key regional elections are due soon.

      The situation inside India is scary for a Hindu, and terrifying for a non-Hindu. And so we’re shocked when he gets invited and feted by the heads of the developed world. 2 months ago, POTUS honoured him with a White House dinner, President Macron awarded him with the Grand Croix de Legion de l’honneur ffs.

      There’s no democracy in India anymore but isn’t there any respect for democracy in the West either?

    It’s really no different from Russia there. Except, with a WW2 Hitler flavour in dealing with minorities

      A large majority of Hindus residing/ working outside India support him & his handling of minorities.

          Only in public, in private they agree with/ follow the ideology of the RSS which is modeled on Nazism & Fascism. The BJP, Modi’s political party, is the political arm of the RSS.

          RSS & BJP’s detractors both inside and outside India are all those who believe in democrac,y & secularism. India’s godimedia does its best to polarize them and instill fear & hate in them. Anything to allow BJP to retain power and distract Indians from the destruction of our economy.

      Since Narendra cannot raise a firewall, he’s bringing in new laws that equates a govt to the nation and can send pretty much everyone to prison as a terrorist.

        Probably late for me but I always tell younger people to try to get out of this country if they can.

        I’m actually surprised at how many upper caste people are hesitant to leave though.

      This is fascism hiding behind religious extremism.

      And because Indian diaspora has a large presence outside India, the combo of fascism + religious extremism + casteism has been exported with them.
