neutrality in the face of bigotry seems like alignment, or at least it's a sign of a larger problem which you've very clearly laid out.

I think it's time to consider Boycotting, divestment and sanctions of India since it's flat-spinning into the clutches of full-on fascism.

Very sad.

And India will reciprocate by boycotting all those countries which try to do this.

But you are starting a new type of apartheid.

As is your right.

It will need to start from the individual level so I will be encouraging everyone around me to limit their exposure to Indian businesses.

On the same day Modi along with G7 countries were signing some declaration to protect democratic rights, his party in India was arresting Zubair for tweeting a scene from a 4-decade old movie. One commentator asked if G7 is trolling Indians.

Western democracies can certainly do a better job if they are principled but they aren't. They take only two extreme positions - either be chummy with dictators or sanction/bomb them to oblivion. Little acts of social control to keep all the dictos in check doesn't seem to be taught in western capitalism's textbooks.
