Who?

Given the poster, and that last name... I guess Narendra Modi is the full name of India's PM.
What have they done now?


*edit
Oh, looks like a US visit. First I've heard of it. I hope our governments can come to some agreements. India has a lot of problems to deal with, but we shouldn't be one of them.

A Modi visit to US like none other​

 
Since Modi took power in 2014 India's freedom of the press index has fallen 21 places and now has India ranked behind bastions of freedom such as Belarus, Venezuela, Somalia, and more. India is barely ahead of Russia!

Index

RSF's World Press Freedom Index aims to compare the level of press freedom enjoyed by journalists and media in 180 countries and territories.

Does that bother you? If not, why?

If your answer is simply to reject the index outright then I think there's no need to ask you any more questions because we all know how that's going to go.

So Pakistan's press freedom is ahead of India in your precious ranking, that too in 2023 is insane. Now you left may live in la la land, but Pakistan is controlled by the military. It doesn't take a genius to recognize the critical flaw in that.

So as predicted just as with other criticisms of Modi you stick your fingers in your ears.

This thread is pointless as you aren't actually willing to engage.

And speaking of indexes, what happens in "regime wannabe states"?

Corruption.

Last year India barely edged out Belarus.

I don't think that says what you think it does. If India's freedom of the press is worse then a country that is controlled by the military than you might have a problem.

And I think it's very important to note how India's position on the index, while never very good, has been plummeting under Modi as attacks against journalists have increased.

So it's not just that India is bad, it's rapidly getting worse.

How DARE YOU!

India has the bestist mostist press freedoms of any country to say good things about the PM and his party. No one is ever stopped from saying good things about Modi because it is so free. People who say bad things about Modi are obviously not real members of the press since they are too stupid to see how good Modi really is. Therefore any attacks on them don't count.

‘The Left’?
 
Nationalism is a vile plague on humanity. It is a tool that corrupt dictators and powerful elites use to divide the people and turn them against each other. But nationalists don't care about that as long as those elites provide them with enemies among their own countrymen to hate and oppress.

If you don't mind the source being clearly a ravening leftist who won't be satisfied until we're all having our bones picked clean by the vultures due to the failure of communism after it's imposed upon all the globe... here's a primer video from John Oliver a few years ago.

There's nothing like a neck to step on that makes you feel alive.
I thought of that while imagining some cartoon villain, possibly from the marvel multiverse stepping on somebody's neck in real life.

What's wrong with being a freedom loving, flag waving, apple pie eating American?

Don't tell me leftists actually hate this country. 😱
