True. Also Aung San Suu Kyi who after being awarded the Peace Prize went on to support Myanmar's military for their genocide of Rohingyas in Rakhine and persecution of journalists. She actually appeared in the ICJ to defend their crimes against humanity.
Has her Nobel prize been revoked? I know most of the honours heaped on her were taken back, including the Elie Wiesel Award by the US Holocaust memorial.
67% of India did not support Modi in 2019, and now that percentage has grown.
India is going to do what best benefits the Indian elites
Modi is going to do what benefits himself and his crony capitalists. Thats the British East India company model and will impoverish the entire nation for the benefit of 3-4.
Population is only a strength when they're educated, are employed, have buying power in a booming economy else it's a poor country with runaway inflation & the large malnourished majority surviving on subsidised food.
Does that sound elite to you?
India was the one preventing China from calling all the shots.
How? by tantruming and refusing to deplane?
By releasing reports that the two leaders had "reached a broad understanding to bring about normalcy in relations while simultaneously diffusing the situation on the borders" which China promptly refuted by issuing new maps that show Aksai Chin and the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh as belonging to China?
Why should anyone fight India when they can curb his Hindu supremacist hatespeech & violence using diplomatic means? They could've & still can exert pressure to stop violence on religious minorities ( Muslims & Christians). But they won't because he buys their drones & jets at higher-than-usual prices.
FTR, Modi has already aligned himself with PRC, Russia, Saudi Arabia, and Iran. Seen this year's BRICS meeting?
In that case, why didn't they rescind it when he turned out to be as bad?
We recognize the strong reactions in Sweden, which completely overshadowed this message.
Their pandering to Putin got called out and to coverup they're blaming people for reacting negatively. Its the "I'm sorry your feelings are hurt" non-apology
Oh, absolutely. Here's the peace prize for droppibg bombs, killing civilians, and making the world more violent. WTF was that. and Obama accepted it, because he has zero integrity.
I'm still angry at the Nobel Prize committee for inviting Russia to this year's ceremony and giving an ego boost to Russian imperialism.
The loving India still beats in many hearts, but the drumbeats of fear and hate are loud and overwhelming. When the world rewards the demagogue spreadng fear and hate, then it makes the situation worse for those who need support in their struggle to get their loving India back.
G20 leaders will travel to India this month, all world leaders, all with the power to reign in India's head Hindu supremacist and hatemonger-in-chief. but they won't. They'll ignore a locked-down Delhi, they'll ignore all the ethnic & communal genocide conducted by Hindu supremacists in Manipur & the state-backed pogrom in Haryana, they'll ignore his dictatorship, They'll just pander to him and to Hindu supremacism. As they have done since 2014.
Have you heard of Sam Vimes "Boots" theory of socioeconomic unfairness, often called simply the boots theory? Sam Vimes is a protagonist in many of Terry Pratchett's Discworld novels.
The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. ... A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that'd still be keeping his feet dry in ten years' time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.
IA helps keep democracy alive. Documentaries that are banned by dictators, like the BBC documentary on Modi that was banned in India by Modi, would be unavailable to people without IA.
we're not in the stone-age anymore, so what goods are these that don't require technical skills to manufacture? What will be the earning of people employed in these jobs? will they be able to earn enough to not depend on subsidies for survival? Will they be ableto earn enough for the kids to get eucated? what sort of a nation will we be if we depend on the majority to work in low-skill jobs? This is the future you see for india in 2023? Our freedoe fighterss had better ambitions for us in 1947.
WTF is this argument? Using people as cannon fodder because there are so many of them, their deaths won't matter? Are you taking lessons from Putin?
Wait! Is that why we've been on the backfoot with China even though they've invaded our land multiple times in Ladakh and the NorthEast? Because we're saving our forces & energy to defend/ attack against smaller neighbours like Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal?
Are you being satirical or funny on purpose? because otherwise....
