    India is an awesome country full of great people and some of the most despicable politicians in the world. If you’re unfamiliar Modi came into this strong power base because the main liberal party was deeply corrupt - that isn’t to say Modi isn’t corrupt but it’s closer to Chicago style “working corruption” where shit is actually getting done. Unfortunately that shit involves an internal crusade against Muslims and separatist and assassinations carried out abroad.

    Sneaking assassins into other countries under the guise of student visas is really cultivating anti-indian racism and it fucking sucks to see as a BC resident with plenty of awesome south Asian coworkers and friends. It’s like the post-9/11 anti-middle-eastern racism… innocent people are going to pay the cost for Modi’s hatred.

      And that shit is oppressing minorities, building temples and fear mongering against caste reservations.

      I agree with your comment but the concept of Opposition being corrupt is bjp propaganda. Ask Modi where the pmcare funds go.
