Prisons are treatment centers, not places of punishment.

Not Indian prisons.

I live in Delhi, the research I've done about this shutdown is from right outside my doorstep.. Do you know that all online deliveries, excluding medical, will be banned for the duration? that means gigworkers, whose families depend on their daily earnings, will lose out on their wages? and Delhi's eateries and restaurants will also be shutdown?

Why should any bhakt know? They only know modi-modi-modi.

We've seen how much Modi "cares" about Indians from his inactions on Manipur which is in a ethnic & communal genocial civll war since May 3. Kukis have been ethnically cleansed from Imphal Valley. Bhakts dont give a toss about that. They only know modi-modi-modi.

Empathy is not hatred. Lacking empathy is apathy. Why are you apathetic to the have-nots whose lives have been shattered just to paint a pretty picture for a 3-day event?

At least 25 shantytowns and multiple night shelters for the homeless were razed to the ground and turned into parks, the report said, adding that the government failed to provide alternative shelters or places for the newly homeless.

This is a failure of the govt and the admin to follow the law and provide alternative shelters for the people made homeless.

Do you prettify your house for guests by kicking out family members and stopping daily-wage family members from earning their living?

Some routes being blocked is not the same as shutting down the capital city of a country. Shutting down the city genuinely distresses people.

Devi, whose home was demolished in one of the drives, said authorities refused to consider documents she showed as proof that her family had lived in the same house for nearly 100 years.

“Everyone is behaving as if they are blind,” Devi said. “In the name of the G20 event, the farmers, workers and the poor are suffering.”

Neither Modi nor his bhakts care a jot for the people of India.

The city will also be put in lockdown for the 3 days of the summit. Schools, colleges, govt and private offices will be shut. Daily-wage labourers, vegetable vendors, and street hawkers will have to go hungry because Modi wants to present a Delhi that doesn't exist. What will happen to anyone needing urgent medical care or an ambulance in the city is anyone's guess.

G20 world leaders travelling to Delhi will be supporting this charade, this curtailing of people's rights, to pander to the Hindu supremacist dictator.

At no point have I endorsed poverty.

you absolutely have. read your own comments. you've advocated using Indians to do low-skill (and therefore low-wage) jobs and be used as cannon fodder.

Population is a strength regardless of education. Large populations can vastly cut manufacturing costs for simple goods that do not require technical skills. Large populations can utilize a meat grinder approach to conflicts that smaller nations cannot easily adopt.

Uneducated Indians as cannon-fodder is your idea of 'bulwark against PRC'?

That is not just endorsing poverty, it's godamned racist. and you're lecturing me on being ignorant about 'recent history regarding economic development'??! because I called you out?

I keep trying to give you the benefit of the doubt but you're just too nasty. I'm blocking you

She was taken into custody at the home of Jodi Hildebrandt, who owns a counseling business that she says teaches people to improve their lives by being honest, responsible and humble.

2 statsments down

Prosecutors allege Franke and Hildebrandt either caused or allowed someone to torture Franke’s 12-year-old son and injure her 10-year-old daughter. Both children were starved and harmed emotionally, prosecutors said.

Umm...

The same things that Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese, Hungarians, Czech people, and Japanese people made as their economies developed?

how far back was that? how technologically advanced was the world then compared to now? What sort of an ally would such a population be to any developed country? except as slave labour or as the cannon fodder like you had envisaged? Such a people will be a "bulwark against the PRC"?

The same things that Koreans, Chinese, Vietnamese, Hungarians, Czech people, and Japanese people made as their economies developed?

You have some wierd romanticized view of mass poverty. Both you and Modi might be pleased to push Indians back to a stone age ruled by Brahminism and superstitions, but that's not good for my people or my country. Mass poverty is a recipe for misery, ruined lives, crime, oppression, and bonded slavery. So, no thanks. if you like it so much, wish it on your country.

I will repeat myself here, 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.

It seems to me that you're arguing for the sake of arguingand have no clue to what you'e talking about, so I'll be ending this here.

Large populations can vastly cut manufacturing costs for simple goods that do not require technical skills.

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.

Large populations can utilize a meat grinder approach to conflicts that smaller nations cannot easily adopt.

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....

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

and planes

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.

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.

WTF is wrong with them?

Christianity is an organized religion.

I'm not @zik who made the comment you're referring to.
