i appreciate the info, but i'm not too sure how aligned the west is with india. enemy of our enemy, yes.

for example, this week there was a bunch of protests from indians in Washington due to legislation being proposed that makes it illegal for people to discriminate against others because of the caste they belong to.

most Americans see the caste system as discrimination/classism (because it is) so it seems like indians who have fled their third world homeland to the US now want to employ the same hate tactics that has turned india into what it is (or has kept it as it is for as long as it has been that way).

i get the impression that indians are entirely unaware of the monster they have running their country.

i should also note that the legislation is proposed by an indian person, to be fair.

and the INC , which is the opposition party was responsible for bringing tanks into the holiest temple in Sikhism in an attempt to arrest a terrorist, and then after the Prime Minister was assassinated by her Sikh guards, the resulting Anti-sikh riots killed 2,800 to 8000 Sikhs.

No one was really found accountable or arrested, as they were the ruling government at the time and stymied attempts to charge culprits. For some reason as well no one considers this to be a genocide. They also blocked films that were critical of them or talked about the riots as well as their role in the emergency.

So yes, when both sides have shit on their hands, it's not too dissimilar.

Well the point is whatever u feel he isn't going anywhere. It's almost a guarantee that he will win the next elections and can just hope it's by a smaller margin.

The opposition is complete and utter trash.

So we can at best wish that he tries to get away from Russia. India-western relations are at the highest point now than any other point of time since indian independence. It's a good time to strike the hammer and make sure that the US is completely allied with us and doesn't try to fuck around in Pakistan

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 70%. (I'm a bot)


> Afghanistan's Taliban government says it will turn some former foreign military bases into economic zones for businesses.

> Afghanistan has faced a deepening economic and humanitarian crisis since the Taliban regained control of the country in August 2021.

> "The Taliban desperately needs to boost its coffers if it is to govern better and attain some domestic legitimacy," Muhammad Faizal Bin Abdul Rahman from the S Rajaratnam School of International Studies in Singapore told the BBC. "More importantly, the Taliban needs to prove its commitment to economic planning. This includes establishing safe zones near the capital and borders for potential foreign investors such as the Chinese... and to revive regional trade with neighbouring countries," he added.

One side call to have Jew-free zones, the other calls to kill terrorists. One side calls to wipe Israel off the map by throwing them all into the Mediterranean the other calls for everyone to live together in one state. One side throws their terrorists in jail, the other side pays them generous salaries. Palestinians need to work on themselves before Israel can totally get behind negotiations from a unified front, for now all you got is the left who think it's worth it to sit down for negotiations even though they know deep down nothing is going to happen from them these days anyways.

Thanks for your sinical ideas. For the record, China already attacked India on it's Eastern borders in 2020, there's still engagement going on as of today. And therefore we know exactly how the world responded. India then asked EU to suspend trade with China to put pressure on China. EU's response was "This is not our war, why would we stop trading with China? Perhaps you (India) should do more trade with China so that they (China) can't afford a sour relationship". Therefore, I humbly ask you... Piss off...
