    Why would the US stop supporting autocratic and illiberal regimes now? Did we find our principles at any point in the last 70 years?

      Can confirm, it’s literally 1939 and we force Muslims to wear gold stars and send them to concentration camps.

        PM Modi says “Identify them by their clothes”, and all over India Hindu supremacists beat Muslim men to death after forcing them praise the Hindu god Ram.
        PM Modi ignores and refuses to discuss the ethnic & communal genocidal civil war in Manipur that is in its 5th month, while churches are burnt and Kukis have been ethnically cleansed from Imphal valley.
        Peacefully protesting Sikh farmers are called Khalistani and terrorists while a violet hindu supremacist attacks them under Delhi police’s eye.

        Wow. Genocide is not a minimum criteria for fascism.

        Fascism is characterized by an ideology that one group of people is superior to others. That’s literally the ideology of the RSS. Hindu nationalism is fascism.

    Yeah, no. I am all against Modi and the BJP and most of their policies (except for the Foreign policy which has been a win acc to me)

    But, no. You will not punish Indians because Modi is the leader of the country. And it’s not in US interest to do this either. Some idiot at the Guardian might think this, but yeah, thankfully US foreign policy heads are not this dumb.

    Under Modi India actually made it to the moon, a feat only a few handful of countries on Earth have done. Spare me the autocrat nonsense, he’s been the best thing to happen to India since 1947 when they kicked out the British

    Unsure what they think letting India have only Russia to turn to would gain the US, but I promise it isn’t realistic.
