I don't know Indian politics but this reads like a hit-piece if I've ever seen one. Makes you wonder what Moti did to upset western media ;)

Probably because he continues to import venezuelan and iranian oil despite being told not to.

The pogroms in Gujarat in 2002 killed over 1000 people. And one should also add that the BJP's embrace of Hindu chauvinism has caused repeated episodes of lynching throughout the country (as a somewhat relatable phenomenon for Western, there are surely many more events since 2014 that have damaged our country's claim to secular government.)

He is nationalist leader if he was a fundamentalist then he must have done things representative of that in his 5 yrs in power. Like make India a Hindu nation

He is as accused as Obama is accused of killing thousands of Iraqis.

again if he doesn't believe in democracy, there must not have been elections in India after 2014, which is patently false.

So try again with why western media hates him and always paints democratic India in a negative light even in conflicts against dictators.

Modi was falsely accused as is evident in Supreme court acquiting the frivolus argument and his election to PM of the largest democracy in the world.

so it is a red herring to keep bringing it up.

I am a minority NRI and can state clearly that no harassment as you state happens. None of my kith and kin have reported any such incidents on the ground.

Unless you can state proof for the anti-democracy claim, it is clearly baseless. With proof you have him praising Putin and Xi and wondering if that is possible in USA. Nothing even remotely similar for Modi, so what gives?

I thought I'd have to compile a list, but HT did it for me. I don't consider their journalism of high quality, but even they can compile a list of rationalists, intellectuals, journalists and others who have been murdered.

Right now Muslims aren't allowed to enter our country.

I wouldn't judge someone based on whether or not they are allowed to enter my country. I would say judging that way would be anti-intellectual.

Not sure if you're deliberately misunderstanding, but this is what the person you're responding you is talking about [1].

It is not false information.

People are talking about India here, not USA.

The link you provided gives a timeline for Trump’s ban on immigrants in USA.

Kindly go through the context properly, coz your statements create confusion and propagate false information.

Now twice you guys have said something about "false information" when you are the ones misunderstanding and lying.

It is literally true that muslims are being banned in America. The thread you are responding to said:

> I don't know Indian politics

> Right now Muslims aren't allowed to enter our country.

That was an American, talking about America. The reason the original person brought this up was because the GP insinuated not trusting Modi because he was banned from entering the US. Currently, certain muslims are banned from entering the US, so it's not a significant measure of credibility.

Read through what I've written in the context of the discussion I've had. Then read what you've written. I'd rather have said what I've said than what you've said.

Genocide was probably not the word you are looking for there. Actual genocide is a pretty big thing.

Genocide is what it was. Try googling before you correct someone on an issue you know nothing about.

> Accused of Muslim genocide

has been exposed as a furphy time and again. The claim deliberately ignores trigger for the riots to mischaracterise the events as a planned one. The immense anger was caused by the burning of a train compartment of Hindu pilgrims by local Muslims who blocked the exits and set fire to the train.

> Master in harnessing FUD tactics and social media:

what is this, you are accusing him of using the tech tools at everyones disposal competently and extrapoloate it to FUD tactics

> Friend of big corporates

Making sure businesses have a better environment to function is now bad. Cutting down red tape is now helping corporates?

> Doesn't believe in democracy:

so a murder is one state that he isn't in control of is pinned on him as anti-democratic. This in a country of 1300 million people.

looking at the progress in the investigation and the freedom to highlight the case shows democracy is alive and thriving.
