India’s diaspora is bigger and more influential than any in history

You demonstrate how important it is to stomp out the rightwing ultranationalism festering in India. It is not solely India's problem any more.

There is irreparable damage being done to the Indian psyche, and it is not going to be contained (unlike, for example, if it was China). Especially considering the impending climate disaster is going to disproportionately affect India and neighbors, resulting in social disaster, mass migration of a scale not seen before.

Indian problems are increasingly world problems.

The world's problems are the world's problems. We Indians migrating into other societies see issues that the societies don't see themselves: (asian-hate, white supremacy, sunni-shia violence, anti-semitism).

But I am glad once again the world (ahem, the West) deigned to "fix" India before fixing themselves.

You make it sound like it's two separate buckets. The world and India can, strike that, have to work together. As an Indian myself, I will accept any help I get to fight rightwing bigotry. And I will help fight rightwing bigotry elsewhere.

People need to stop thinking as if borders are natural phenomenon.
