HN seems to be promoting only anti-India narratives these days. One of the outrageous comments is asking US persons to get involved in this. This is a direct attack on the sovereignty of India. Anyone questioning this line of thinking is getting flagged. The general consensus seems to be that the Western powers are paragons of justice who can dictate what other countries (note that India is a democracy. Most of these…

If you’re someone outside India, please write to your representatives (or organize something) on matters like Internet access being cut off. We live in an age where this can be a matter of life and death. It is standard practice in India to cut off Internet access in places where there are riots or riots expected to happen or for some nebulous “national security” concern. In fact, India tops the list of countries wit…
The current thing happening delhi is similar to the Occupy Capitol a few weeks ago. Of course this violence needs to be stopped, I mean it's the capital for gods sake. India is not losing its freedom, but with the amount of population and rumour mongering on whatsapp/social media tamping down on the internet sometimes is necessary. Earlier before data become ubqiquitous, they used to clamp down on SMS.

No No, you are a Sikh, so you will have value when they need to show off that they are a pluralistic country to the west. I mean the BJP government passed a law that said "we will allow citizenship for minorities who are of all religions, except Tibetans and Muslims" Then in the next breath talk about how this is not targeting a specific religion. I really do hope people argue the case, because at least for external…
No, they said all people who are ALREADY here (on it before 2014) and were promised protection and citizenship at the time of partition will have that promise fulfilled. Everybody and people of all kinds get citizenship using the same rule as before, there are no bans or changes.

Sources, sources and not your disgustingly twisted propaganda. Who is wishing Sikh killings? God stop it.
Replying here as I can’t reply below. What is that? A show of sick fucks wishing people dead? What is your point? You can find those everyday on Twitter. Why are you trying to paint this disgusting picture based on that?

From RSSs role in the MK Gandhi's assassination, Gujrat's riots, to the Samjhauta Express bombings, Ajmer Dargah attacks, to the cow vigilatelism, beating up couples at valentine's day - the list is pretty long to consider RSS as Religious terrorists.
Are you sure you are talking about RSS? Are you talking about shivsena, Bajrang dal, Hindu sena?
> Agriculture employs about half of India's 1.3 billion population I am not familiar with politics in India, so my question is: how does the BJP manage to push laws that (seem to) adversly affect the interest of half of the population? Isn't that political suicide for the BJP?

So do you expect to send the army in in Punjab like 1990s Kashmir? Why was Modi’s handpicked LTG Murmu suddenly transferred when he came out in favor of restoring 4G? You have to have a plan to restore it, even your SC says so, you can’t just gazette new ordinance every day and do “the beatings will continue until morale improves”
In a democratic country, if you want to change policy you need to get elected. If you are a civil servant, you can advise but if the elected decision makers decide otherwise you either execute the orders or you resign. Allowing someone who refused to execute legal orders and who publicly expressed dissent to be transferred in this situation is actually recognition that healthy debate is good and speaking out in a dem…
Not disbelieving but I want to see a non-partisan citation.
BTW the polling rate of these elections were around 50%. The remaining 50% didn't agree to vote for any of them.

The Supreme Court of India is going to listen to the farmers? The same Supreme Court that asked why and I quote, "why old people and women are kept in the protests" as if thousands of old farmers were paid money and brought in to the protests? I repeat: protesting is a fundamental right. Farmers have been protesting peacefully for months. One bad incident is not reflective of the otherwise largely peaceful protests.…
Why shouldn't the SC ask that question? They are not issuing a diktat. It's a large group and a certain degree of coercion, even if small, is likely involved. It's only now that it's coming out in open. https://www.freepressjournal.in/viral/protest-or-pay-a-fine-... We are talking about areas around Delhi where women and children have much less liberty when compared to other regions of India.

The fact that you wrote this shows how little you know about this. The majority of the farmers protesting are Punjabi farmers. Do you know that in a Punjabi household, women participate in the work equally? This is not like UP or Bihar. Even in religious ceremonies, women participate equally. Don't bring up your own discriminatory customs and think they apply to every other community in India.
Coming back to the Supreme Court, this is the same court that has got its tiny feelings upset over a political satire:

Should I point out the relation between the ex Chief Justice and the ruling party?
You are pretty terrible at this.
Sadly the Indian govt passed the laws without taking opposition and farmers in confidence. They passed the law very bluntly. Thats from where all this started. It's very simple thing to solve but current govt want to make it political. They are basically saying MSP(Minimum selling price) is not affected. But farmers protesting why you include this in bill. But because of govt ego millions of farmers are protesting fo…
The bill was public. It was debated for a while, and anyone could have read it during that period if they chose to. There was none of the here is a 5000 page bill and you must pass it in 2 hours or the economy goes under like happens in the US Congress. They not only took the farmers into confidence, they took the opinions of the farmers into consideration and amended the bill. Each individual substantive line item b…
You are playing semantic games here. Please post the records of Rajya Sabha discussions and the Lok Sabha discussions (these are the houses of parliament in India). Then lets compare that with the process and volume of discussion of other laws that were passed (barring abrogation of article 370, demonetization, CAA/NRC were more or less the same methods of sneaking in a law were applied)
