  • You're forgetting the atrocities on India's Muslims, Christians, farmers, Dalits, and ,other oppressed castes.

    This is the same country and the same PM who Biden dined with in WH 3-4 months back and who Macron honored & awarded Le Grand Croix de Legion de l'Honneur on Bastile day 3 months back.

    Maybe now, the west will stop appeasing and coddling genocidal dictators?

  • India has a large population, that is incresingly becoming poor. We had a burgeoning middle-class. the middle-class is becoming poor, the poor are becoming poverty-stricken, and the poverty-stricken ... Modi's economic policies have pushed 80 crores of Indians to subsistence living, where they survive on 5 kgs of free rice a month. 2 weeks ago the Reserve bank of India released a report that said the personal savings & investments of Indians is at its lowest ever. Which means they've no money to spend.

    Leaders of Western countries want India to be on their side and provide resources and bases or their fight against China. Modi is on Modi's side and is too afraid of China to even take its name since they invaded Ladakh in 2020. That's 3 years of India's PM being terrified to say 'China'. He surrendered Galwan and 20+ of India's patrolling points to China without a fight, without even lodging a diplomatic protest. He's that terrified of them. And Western leaders think honouring him with Le Grand Croix de Legion de l'Honneur & a WH dinner will stiffen his spine. It's only made him more repressive inside india and a bully to the West.

  • Indians were warned by Governor Satya Pal Malik, who had worked closely with Modi in the past, that 'He is capable of anything.'. And we know Sikh solidarity and support for India's farmers thwarted Modi's attempts to hand over India's agri business to his close corporate Adani.

    Plus he's desperate af to win 2024 elections and a 'Modi is being targeted. oh Hindu's are in danger' victim-card might distract voters from the absolute mess he's made of India's once-booming economy.

  • The oppressor castes who emigrated to US & other developed countries have happily enjoyed & continue to enjoy affirmative action in these countries while vociferously protesting against affirmative action for oppressed castes in India.

    The violence, name-calling, insults, and often boycott of oppressed caste people who have benefited in even the smallest way from affirmative action in India has to be seen to be believed.

    The amount of hate oppressor castes have for oppressed castes is truly scary. It is completely misguided, because their rights are not being taken away by affirmative action. Yet their hate is vitriolic, violent, and vindictive. But because 99% of those in positions of power in bureaucracy, police, state admins, and the govt are from oppressor castes, we rarely see justice being done in cases of caste atrocities.

  • The Modi govt has surpassed its own stupidity . They've officially labeled Canada an international terrorist sanctuary — “a safe haven for terrorists, for extremists, and for organized crime,” in the words of the Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson. I've just posted on this zine

  • The Hindu supremacist Modi govt that has unleashed a wave of domestic terrorism against Indian muslims, indian Christians, Sikhs, our Dalits and other oppressed castes is calling Canada “a safe haven for terrorists, for extremists, and for organized crime,”??!

    I am so angry at the Indian govt's stupidity right now.

  • No one's asking Newsom to change anyone's culture. He has to recognize caste discrimination as discrimination and make it illegal in California. Casteism wont decrease, but caste oppression will be made illegal and will have negative consequences. Hopefully, it'll teach future American Indians Indian Americans that caste oppression is wrong.

    ETA: corrected a wrong. Thanks @bionicjoey

  • India's External affarirs Minister, Jaishankar, is a hack. His agenda, as is the agenda of rest of Modi's cabinet, is to make India's PM Modi look like a strong man and Hindu messiah fo the domestic audience, no matter what happens to India on the global stage. If any action is taken against india, hee'll scream western conspiracy against great Hindu leader Modi (he has started this), if no action is taken then he'll claim that the world is scared of the great Hindu Vishwguru (world boss/teacher) Modi.

    After China invaded India's Ladakh and beat our 20 soldiers to death, built a village in Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh, 'he publicly kowtowed to China and refused to take any action against it. Is it any wonder that China's official maps show the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh as Chinese territory?

    World leaders, including leadersof the democratic developed West, have been tunring a blind eye to both Modi's wave of violence against India's Muslims & Christians. they've welcomed him, dined him, and honoured him with state honours while Modi's Hindu supremacist govt & state-backed goons have burned & vandalised churches & mosques, destroyed Sufi shrines, burnt Bibles & Qurans, defamed, harassed, extorted, injured, imprisoned, and killed Indias Muslims & Christians.

    When a lady reporter of the WSJ questioned him on India's communal violence, Modi's troll army harassed her on social media. All the US did was say a few words in her support. No other action was taken. The world treats a genocidal megalomanic with kid gloves, appeases him, and then wonders why he thinks they're all spineless?

  • Newsom is weighing the pros 7 cons. On the pro side, it'll reinforce his & the Dems image as being anti-racist, anti-discrimination, and pro-democracy. On the flip side, most of the US voters of Indian origin (no matter what generation of Indian immigrants they belong to) are from the oppressor castes and his action might cost him & the Dems their votes. I'm not even joking about how entrenched caste is in an Indian's upbringing, or how much oppressor castes hate losing their Brahmin-created caste superiority.

    In case you are interested, I just posted a long comment on caste in this thread at https://kbin.social/m/world@lemmy.world/t/481152/Caste-matters-South-Asian-activists-hunger-strike-to-ban-caste#entry-comment-2551757

  • Caste superiority/ inferiority and means of oppression are taught to Indian children right from their birth. By their parents, their family, their community, their teachers, their classmates. In India, a child might not get its mothers milk but they'll grow up imbibing caste. Any Indian who says they've not experienced caste discrimination/ atrocities is from the oppressor caste, because while the privileged can be blind to their actions their victims who bear the brunt are not blind. Thanks to education and brave reformers they're not mute or deaf anymore.

    Brahmins had a monopoly on education & white collar jobs in India before the British came and opened the doors of education to all castes. To this day, Brahmins and their oppressor caste goons inflict brutal violence against the oppressed castes, and then protest when their violence is called out.

    Even now, in 2023, Dalits risk getting murdered if they wear sunglasses, grow a mustache, celebrate their wedding, study well in school, Their fingers get chopped off or they get beaten up by heavy wooden rods for drinking water from a tap that the oppressor caste deems is theirs. Oppressor caste school teachers beat oppressed caste students for drinking water from the water pot. Adivasis and Dalits get urinated upon by oppressor castes so they 'remember their place'. To this day.

    Then there are the caste rapes & brutalities against Dalits & Muslims. You can look up info on Hathras rape & Kathua rape crimes. Those are not stray incidents, they are a part of the systemic brutality continously inflicted on oppressed castes by the oppressor castes for the past 2000+ years.

    Brahmins created and imposed a purity culture on India where they are the purest and the oppressed castes are impure. It's an advanced & more developed ubermensch/ untermensch system than the Nazis had. The pure veg b.s in India is the result of this purity/impurity aka ubermensch/ untermensch system.

    A recent example; Sudha Murthy a Brahmin, and the British PM Rishi Sunak's mother-in-law and wife of international tech. company Infosys founder, has very proudly and publicly stated that she carries her own spoon when travelling outside India lest she be handed cutlery that was used to eat non-vegetarian food and so become impure. This is an example of how Brahmins think & act. Till 2014 such thoughts were shared behind their closed doors when abroad. Now they're emboldened to spew their purity/impurity culture in public because India's violent Hindu supremacism is not just unchecked but also welcomed & feted by world leaders.

    To Brahmins everyone but them is impure by bring born to non-Brahmins, and that includes you, And the Brahmins call being being born to Brahmin parents a 'merit'. They hate Christianity and Islam, because both religions don't have a caste system (the class system is not the caste system) and both offered a way to the oppressed castes to leave Hinduism and be treated as humans.

    When the wife of an international tech. company's founder publicly & proudly shares her casteism & ubermensch/ untermensch culture and and no one from Infosys or any other Indian tech co. or any other Indian co. objects or calls her out, you can understand the kind of casteism that is prevelant in Indian tech co.s and Indian non-tech co.s .

    This is the caste culture that Brahmins have brought & implemented into the developed world when they migrated. This is the caste system that the developed world is & should fight against.

    "If Hindus migrate to other regions on earth, Indian caste would become a world problem”- Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, victim of Hindu caste oppression, staunch opponent of casteism, and the architect of India's Constitution.
