The 2018 post was a 1983 movie clip cleared by the Indian censor board.

How does sharing a mainstream Indian movie clip in 2018 be considered as offensive? The Indian government has stooped a lot.

The YC company razorpay founder from his previous tweets has serious inclination towards the ruling government, that's the reason he sold out private data without court order.

Doctored video? What are you smoking? He posted the original video. And the channel has deleted the video from their YouTube channel. For Non Indians here, TimesNow is the channel and that news reporter is Laura Ingram of India.

When you edit a video to cut the provocation and just show the response- that is doctoring. You denying this video resulted in beheading and riots ?

I don't think AltNews received foreign funding. Nor was it possible for Razorpay to process the payment. Interestingly, it's possible for political parties to receive foreign funding (via. Electoral Bonds) without much transparency to the electorate about how much they receive.

Razorpay might be in trouble for processing foreign funds without FCRA approval.

If you are an Indian citizen, please consider donating to them. And by that way you can verify yourself.

I agree, but We need focus now on Hindu Terrorism. That's the major threat to the country and the world.

Can you give examples from the world where they have killed people or been involved in violence in general in the name of religion?

There is sufficient Hindu diaspora outside, so this comment seems extremely uncalled for.

In UP, India, a Muslim restaurant owner was arrested because the non-veg food he wrapped with old newspapers had photos of Hindu gods and goddesses. https://thewire.in/rights/up-man-arrested-for-wrapping-chick...

Not that I support the intention of cops to go at his restaurant in the first place, in the article I read, he swung his knife at the cop as well.

You definitely do not want to believe the cop versions of the story. Cops in India have been planting fake evidence in the activists phones and they will go any length to prosecute those who fight the system

Altnews don't receive payment from abroad. You know it well, and you won't say it here. We all know the reason.

No, actually, "we" don't all know whatever you're not talking about.

The OP knows.

While I have no sympathy for razorpay but I'd just like to point out that laws in India are much more heavy handed than a country like US. People are thrown in jail for social media posts and sometimes just for liking a social media post(1) Twitter has been having a very hard time operating in India too(2) and routinely censoring stuff so while IANAL just remember that things are very different in different parts of…

India is weird. It's not really called authoritarian (rankings don't classify it as such), but there are many similar stories of government dysfunction and overreach. Maybe someone else has a word for them?

It has slid into authoritarianism.

Corrupt is an appropriate word for this kind of behavior. The government does not officially condone the behavior, and it would probably function well if the policies were followed as written. But instead people get some power and abuse it. India is not unique, many countries struggle with corruption.

Many? Which countries do not suffer from corruption? This seems to be the human condition. As the old saying goes, “power corrupts…”. It’s not of question of “if” a country is corrupt, it is “how much”.

True but India does seem to be steeped in it. I once bribed someone in India accidentally and didn't realise what had happened till afterwards. That's how embedded it is in daily life. I can't imagine that happening anywhere else I've been and I've been a few places.

Not sure what you’re referring to. A majority certainly does not approve of overturning Roe, quite the opposite.

In polls they don't, but in practice, the majority voted for this outcome.

Democratic candidates won the popular vote in 2000, 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2020.
