Modi is a fascist and India in its current state is a material threat to a peaceful international community. The world has a moral obligation to bring the country to heel.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- 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! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
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 was obvious which side they were on when they answered Putins call.
Fuck India.
Not defending india but every country look after their best interest. Human beings are really special characters, they only care when it starts to affect them personally. NATO could give Ukraine membership and resolve this once in for all but it won't. India on the other hand has a long lasting friendship with Russia and would not jeopardize it for Ukraine which was never been a strategic partner for India.
Religion is the root cause. If everyone becomes atheist , half the problem of this world will resolve instantly. Christian , Muslim, Sikh, Hindu are all following the words of someone who's long gone. This is 2023 baby!
Ah yes, China is super ok
They did say half the problems
You are right
Well then fuck human beings
For those who think Canada should suspend visas from India too, most Indians going to Canada on visas are students and people travelling for work. The route to citizenship in Canada is fairly streamlined so most Indian residents are already citizens, which by Indian law requires them to surrender their Indian citizenship. So the vast majority of Canadians getting Indian visas are visiting family in India. Meaning blocking visas from India would have a much different message as it would effect a much different effect.
Source - Am a Canadian with family who moved here from India.
Which is exactly why India went for this move and also why it's stupid and risky. They're banking on Canada not having the balls to respond in kind, even if Canada should. I kind of hope they do though, literal assassins from India have been infiltrating Canada and tbh if im a Canadian government official, protecting Canadian lives would be orders of magnitude more important than foreigners education and possible citizenship.
Canada was supposed be the one suspended the Visa service for Indians. I would love to know the proportion of non Indian decent Canadians visiting India vs Indians visiting Canada. Besides businessmen, I don’t think India is really a destination for Canadians. So I don’t think that Canadian will loses sleeps for not having Indian visa. However, I think Canada should also suspend Visa for them too.
Canada is a destination for a lot of Indian students. Glass house and all that.
A lot of Canadians applying for Indian visas are Indian ex-pats.
This will likely piss off more Indians than Canadians
The reason for the suspension is that the supporters of Nijjar have publicly expressed a desire to assassinate Indian Diplomats in Canada. This affects the processing of the visas.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Ties between Ottawa and New Delhi, two key strategic partners on security and trade, have plunged to their lowest point in years after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this week said there were “credible allegations” of Indian involvement in the assassination of a Sikh separatist leader on its soil.
The latest move comes a day after India warned its citizens to be careful when traveling to Canada because of “growing anti-India activities and politically condoned hate-crimes.”
Canada has yet to provide any evidence of Indian involvement, but if true it would mark a major shift for India, whose security and intelligence branches have long been significant players in South Asia, and are suspected in a number of killings in Pakistan.
New Delhi’s anxieties about Sikh separatist groups in Canada have long been a strain on the relationship, but the two have maintained strong defense and trade ties, and share strategic interests over China’s global ambitions.
In March, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government summoned the Canadian high commissioner in New Delhi, the top diplomat in the country, to complain about Sikh independence protests in Canada.
Trudeau had frosty encounters with Modi during this month’s Group of 20 meeting in New Delhi, and a few days later Canada canceled a trade mission to India planned for the fall.
