Holy fuck India/modi really going all in on the whole dictatorship thing eh?
Multiple countries are moving towards fascist populism where the myriads of completely stupid people get to be told how to feel about an issue after a crafty politician oversimplifies the situation.
Even if they are not winning right now, they are getting more and more popular. Democracy is showing how bad it works with an uneducated and easy to manipulate population.
India on news a lot lately
They’ve been doing a fascism speed run since Modi.
If India is going full ethnofascist, then it’s time to send all of their visa holders home.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
A number of other news organizations have been investigated for financial impropriety under Modi’s Hindu nationalist government, as international monitors warn that press freedom is eroding in India.
The case was filed under a wide-ranging anti-terrorism law that allows charges for “anti-national activities” and has been used against activists, journalists and critics of Modi, some of whom have spent years in jail before going to trial.
Delhi police did not immediately respond for a comment, but India’s junior minister for information and broadcasting, Anurag Thakur, told reporters that “if anyone has committed anything wrong, search agencies are free to carry out investigations against them.”
In August, Thakur accused NewsClick of spreading an “anti-India agenda,” citing the New York Times, and of working with the opposition Indian National Congress party.
Ties between India and China have been strained since 2020, when clashes between the two militaries in a disputed border area killed at least 20 Indian troops and four Chinese soldiers.
Since then, New Delhi has banned many Chinese-owned apps, including TikTok, and launched tax probes into some Chinese mobile phone companies.
