There are a lot of Modi's ardent followers in developed countries, who cheer his violent Hindu supremacism and fascism.

He's not Brahmin. He's backed by Brahmins because they get to actively work for return to Brahminism through him.
India has a large population, that is incresingly becoming poor. We had a burgeoning middle-class. the middle-class is becoming poor, the poor are becoming poverty-stricken, and the poverty-stricken ... Modi's economic policies have pushed 80 crores of Indians to subsistence living, where they survive on 5 kgs of free rice a month. 2 weeks ago the Reserve bank of India released a report that said the personal savings & investments of Indians is at its lowest ever. Which means they've no money to spend.
Leaders of Western countries want India to be on their side and provide resources and bases or their fight against China. Modi is on Modi's side and is too afraid of China to even take its name since they invaded Ladakh in 2020. That's 3 years of India's PM being terrified to say 'China'. He surrendered Galwan and 20+ of India's patrolling points to China without a fight, without even lodging a diplomatic protest. He's that terrified of them. And Western leaders think honouring him with Le Grand Croix de Legion de l'Honneur & a WH dinner will stiffen his spine. It's only made him more repressive inside india and a bully to the West.
Indians were warned by Governor Satya Pal Malik, who had worked closely with Modi in the past, that 'He is capable of anything.'. And we know Sikh solidarity and support for India's farmers thwarted Modi's attempts to hand over India's agri business to his close corporate Adani.
Plus he's desperate af to win 2024 elections and a 'Modi is being targeted. oh Hindu's are in danger' victim-card might distract voters from the absolute mess he's made of India's once-booming economy.
There's stupid, and then there's the Modi govt in India.
They do make a compelling argument for Canada to declare an Indian living in India a terrorist and then asassinate them.
Sauce for the goose = sauce for the gander.
The oppressor castes who emigrated to US & other developed countries have happily enjoyed & continue to enjoy affirmative action in these countries while vociferously protesting against affirmative action for oppressed castes in India.
The violence, name-calling, insults, and often boycott of oppressed caste people who have benefited in even the smallest way from affirmative action in India has to be seen to be believed.
The amount of hate oppressor castes have for oppressed castes is truly scary. It is completely misguided, because their rights are not being taken away by affirmative action. Yet their hate is vitriolic, violent, and vindictive. But because 99% of those in positions of power in bureaucracy, police, state admins, and the govt are from oppressor castes, we rarely see justice being done in cases of caste atrocities.
The Modi govt has surpassed its own stupidity . They've officially labeled Canada an international terrorist sanctuary — “a safe haven for terrorists, for extremists, and for organized crime,” in the words of the Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson. I've just posted on this zine
The Hindu supremacist Modi govt that has unleashed a wave of domestic terrorism against Indian muslims, indian Christians, Sikhs, our Dalits and other oppressed castes is calling Canada “a safe haven for terrorists, for extremists, and for organized crime,”??!
I am so angry at the Indian govt's stupidity right now.
Thanks.
No one's asking Newsom to change anyone's culture. He has to recognize caste discrimination as discrimination and make it illegal in California. Casteism wont decrease, but caste oppression will be made illegal and will have negative consequences. Hopefully, it'll teach future ~~American Indians~~ Indian Americans that caste oppression is wrong.
ETA: corrected a wrong. Thanks @bionicjoey
You're forgetting the atrocities on India's Muslims, Christians, farmers, Dalits, and ,other oppressed castes.
This is the same country and the same PM who Biden dined with in WH 3-4 months back and who Macron honored & awarded Le Grand Croix de Legion de l'Honneur on Bastile day 3 months back.
Maybe now, the west will stop appeasing and coddling genocidal dictators?
