- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

It's a lot close to that. India is fastly moving towards an authoritarian fascist rule. Pakistan has better media index than India & that says something . So no wonder you don't know what you are talking about. Is persecution of journalists democratic?. India is far worse in minority treatment than Bangladesh and if you feel better comparing yourself to Pakistan, keep doing it. Your points were true before 2014. Almost every Indian knows how much influence bjp has over courts. Just go to reddit and see how many indians want the word secular removed from our constitution. You are straight up living in delusion. Take off your nostalgia glasses and step foot in 2024.
Do you only count victims if they are Hindu?
Cow vigilantism
This incident alone has more minority deaths than in the last 20 years in Bangladesh
Incident from a few minths ago equals Bangladeshi hindu deaths in 3 years. 2 months ago
Supreme court
BBC
Rapists getting garlanded after release from jail
Very secular indeed
Beating a kid for drinking water in a temple. This guy "Narasinghanand Saraswatiis" already released from jail and has been making hate videos constantly without any repercussions. He also has a camp where they teach youth to shoot and fight. Their opponents are 12 year old kids.
Let's not forget why your PM is so loved in the first place. 800 is crazy
All of this is just the tip of the iceberg. Dalits have way worse treatment in India. Where will dalits go when India keeps hate criming them? It's ironic how India oppresses dalits whether they are hindu/muslim or Christian and some of you act so delusional. India is moving towards an authoritarian fascist rule. The electoral commissioner assignment will make sure of that. I would agree with you if your arguments used "was" when referencing India instead of "is" because it's no longer the reality.
I don't know what you are even arguing. My point is India is democratic and secular despite being flawed. Do you not agree with that? If you don't agree with that, why are you worried about the word "secular" being removed? How does it matter anyway?
Your incident counting means nothing - India has 1.4B people. Obviously you can find more cases LMAO.
My point is India is democratic and secular - and that's an achievement in South Asia (that's why compared to Pakistan). And that has made it more developed. So democracy and secularism are good ideals to fight for.
If India is not better off than Pakistan and Bangladesh, might as well let BJP make it non secular like them? Why bother fighting it?
Yeah you are the type of people I was describing.
Never said anything about pakistan, but you are the type of guy to celebrate for getting a participation lol. Also what is this doomer logic. It doesn't make any sense.
Weren't you describing how much better India is compared to these countries? These numbers are abnormally large and if you think pakistan and bangladesh are not densely populated, I have news for you.
I'm ending the conversation here. There's no point arguing with a nationalist that thinks his country has/can do no wrong.
You are doing the opposite rn btw.
