the world rushes to support Israel and the US sends an aircraft carrer to protect it, in case any of the neighbouring Arab countries grow a conscience.
He is. He and his political party have been called out by Arundhati both on domestic and international stage. She has been and is aware of the risk to her life & liberty, yet has refused to be silenced. A few days, she attended a ''free the press' protest against the persecution and arrest of one of India's leading jounalists, Prabir Purkayastha, founder of newsclick.in and Amit Chakraborty human resources headof newsclick.
Will these war criminals and their command ever experience any punishment? Unless there are repercussions up the chain of command, war crimes will continue.
NewsClick, a defiantly critical news site, has been in the Indian government’s sights over the past few years. But there was little to show after extensive financial probes – until the New York Times…
Hindu extremeism is the religious extremeism of India's majoritarian religion fuelling hate & fear of Muslims & Christians.
This stuff is tame compared to what Modi's IT cell (modi and his political party's army of paid social media trolls) usually puts up on social media, and that stuff is tame compared to the violent hatespeeches publicly given by Hindu extremeist leaders, including Modi, targetting Muslims and Christians.
India has national elections next year, and the corrupt Hindu extremeist dictator Modi and his political party are terrified of losing, so all India is braced not just for an uptick in violent images & hatespeeches but for actual genocide of Indian Muslims & Christians. The ethnic & communal genocide of Indian Kuki-Zo tribes (mostly Christians) by Hindu Meiteis in Manipur that started on May 3rd'23 has been transformed into a bloody civil war which India's Modi govt has taken no steps to stop.
In this statement, Jason Pfetcher, manager of Worldwide Media Holdings, clarifies on the provenance of the funds that the for-profit investment vehicle based in the U.S. invested in NewsClick
The New York Times failed to include PSF’s categorical denial of foreign funding, and instead left readers to believe that the source of PSF’s funding (or Roy’s for that matter) might have come from China, rather than from the sale of ThoughtWorks. Their salacious headlines and misleading ‘reporting’ have now directly contributed to the arrest of innocent journalists.
Given the repression that is now taking place, it begs the question as to whether India is a safe place for foreign investors who carefully follow Indian law.

The NYT knowingly (an Indian journalist warned them of the consequences to Indian journalism before they published) put out a hitpiece on newsClick, an unbiased and independent news source in a country whose mainstream media is captured by the dictatorial Hindu extremeist govt.
Money makes the world go round. If they think they can make money, western democracies will support any dictator and refuse to
take any action against the dictatorship. Only when their investments are in danger, will corporates & the world stop treating a dictator and his religious extremeist fuelled dictatorship with kid gloves.
eg : What sanctions has China faced for its genocide of Uyghurs? Even now the west refuses to sanction companies that do business with/in Russia, despite the very clear evidence of genocide of Ukrainians.
You also dont think India needs any international goodwill because USA needs it to fight China, so India can around assassinating foreign citizens at will.
There's either some fucked up thinking going on or you're trying to dwnplay and minimize the impact of India's planned & organized assassination of a foreign national.
Labor MP Andrew Charlton, whose electorate has the nation’s biggest Indian diaspora community, says Australians should not be hung up on the superpower’s flaws.
Difficult to ignore when Hindu extremeists live, study, work in developed countries with their casteism and Hindu supremacist politics which has taught them to hate, fear, & dominate non-Hindus (Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, atheists, etc.).
Indian diaspora living abroad are major supporters (financial, social, and emotional) of Hindu extremeism.
ongoing ethnic & communal genocide of Kuki Chriistains in Manipur for 5th continuous month, anti-Muslim communal pogrom by state and its thugs, communal hatespeech by govt ministers and religious leaders of Hindusm to create an atmosphere of hate, fear, and anger against Muslims, Christians, and Sikhs in the country, massive unemployment (42% of our under-25 year graduates are unemployed), food & fuel inflation, a Prime Minister & his admn who are only focused on grabbing & centralizing power,, misuse of ant-terrorist laws to target jornalits & activists, masssive corruption by PM & the state govts of his political party, brakdown of law & order and the justice system where your religion & caste determine whether you get a shot at justice.
sorry to dump on you. We used to be a lovely country that believed and lived in democracy and secular harmony, not perfect but trying to be better. But some people just don't like progress, so they've dragged us into the dark ages where everything is a violent us v/s them conflict.
I can't describe how absolutely idiotic your comment makes you look.
Indian diplomats, ambassadors, Prime Ministers, Presidents, politicians, workers (both blue & white collar), some corporates have worked hard for 75+ years to create goodwill for India abroad. This goodwill earns India opportunities for import-export business, FDI, employment, study scholarships, diplomatic support, emergency support (remember the medical equipment & oxygen supplies foreign countries sent over during covid?), emergency food imports, co-operation in finding escaped criminals, tourism including medical tourism.
If you think India can wreck hell around the world and assassinate whoever it wants to because US needs it against China, then you are mistaken. India'll end up marked as a terrorist nation and will be sanctioned.
