How India is transforming towards authoritarianism | DW Analysis
--- Quote ---
> 2020 has seen the deadliest Hindu-Muslim violence for decades
in Delhi. And the majority of the victims belonged to India’s
Muslim minority. The riots were soon eclipsed by another crisis:
coronavirus.But in the months since, people involved in the
protest movement say they’re being quietly targeted. India’s
government claims it is bringing perpetrators of February’s
violence to justice. But activists and monitors are raising
questions about these moves: is India’s government trying to
silence its critics?
>
> In December 2019, the Indian parliament passed what it called
the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA). The new law grants amnesty
to people who came to India illegally from three neighboring
Muslim-majority countries. It also offers a fast-track to Indian
citizenship. But it includes a key exception. It only applies to
non-Muslim migrants. Opponents of the law say is unfair and
discriminatory. Over 1,500 people were ultimately arrested or
detained in connection with the Delhi riots. Some of those
detained or questioned by police say victims of the violence are
being treated like perpetrators. Rights monitors say his case is
part of an alarming pattern. Apart from arresting Khalid, the
police have named at least 15 prominent academics and activists
in connection with the riots. And there’s one thing in common:
They have all publicly spoken out against the CAA.
>
> Activists and human rights defenders have also come under
mounting pressure in recent months, particularly because of
their engagement in mass protests against the Citizenship
Amendment Act that took place across the country earlier this
year. More than 1,500 people have reportedly been arrested in
relation to the protests, with many charged under the Unlawful
Activities Prevention Act - a law which has also been widely
criticized for its lack of conformity with international human
rights standards.
>
> India’s standing on the World Democracy Index has declined
since Prime Minister Modi took office in 2014: It ranked 27th at
the time. By 2019, India had dropped to position 51. There’s
growing fear India could be drifting away from its status as the
world’s largest democracy.

Thousands of farmers march to Indian capital defying tear gas

government, which they fear will benefit corporations.

> Thousands of farmers have entered the capital New Delhi for a
planned protest against new farm laws hours after the police
fired several rounds of tear gas and used water cannon to stop
the Dilli Chalo (Go to Delhi) march.

Friday during the march to the capital, against new laws, which
will make it easier for farmers to sell their produce directly
to private buyers and enter into a contract with private
companies.

Indian Army propaganda video:
HTML https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cl3XSPB3D_k
Based on the video, to me, The Indian Army appears very well
disciplined and courageous, something that is lacking in Western
"military" forces. If only it could be put to use against the
real enemy, instead of being instigated to fight the enemy of
Jews (i.e. China and Pakistan)...

--- Quote ---
> the idea of India linking up with the EAEU brings a sense of
déjà vu. Like the enlargement of the Shanghai Cooperation
Organization (SCO), this appears to be a Russian tactic of using
India to balance China’s increasing economic power in Central
Asia.

Will India fall for this trick? Or can India be made to
understand that its allies of true destiny are its fellow former
victims of colonization?

There are Israelis and Russians in the comments of the video
"praising" India to make them more Zionist/Duginist. However,
there are some Pakistanis in the comments who also say they
respect the Indian army. So it could go either way, just as it
could with China.
Which do you consider worse: A False Leftist technocratic China
or a rightist Duginist India?

Indian Farmers Lead Historic Strike & Protests Against Narendra
Modi, Neoliberalism & Inequality
--- Quote ---
> As COVID rages through India, which has the second-highest
number of reported cases worldwide, hundreds of thousands of
farmers are converging on the capital New Delhi to demand the
government repeal new laws that deregulate agricultural markets,
saying the reforms give major corporations power to set crop
prices far below current rates and devastate the livelihoods of
farmers. Agriculture is the leading source of income for more
than half of India’s 1.3 billion people. The farmer revolt comes
as some 250 million workers across the country took part in the
largest strike in history against the Modi government’s
neoliberal labor reforms. We speak with P. Sainath, a longtime
Indian journalist and the founder of People’s Archive of Rural
India, or PARI, who describes why working-class Indians are
standing up against “absolutely vicious” new rules that were
rammed through Parliament, and the protests show no signs of
stopping.
