It is pretty clear this is religious persecution by a majority government with Hindu nationalistic tendencies. Are they fully there yet? No, but the moves they are making are worrisome... democracy doesn't just end, it slowly exits the stage... The articles you gave are: 1. A YouTube channel by a dude who makes his own podcast. Not backed by any real media organization. 2. The articles you quoted are all from sources…

I do not quote western news sources, because they are entirely incompetent in their reporting of India. Go to an international news page and read news about the US. You will quickly realize how little nuance and context these external organizations have about the ground reality in the US. You probably know that already, but Gell-Mann Amnesia affects all. Additionally, foreign news organizations hire from the elite up…

Your comments are well thought out. Beautiful. Respect.

NYT may be reliable in general but it's far from being so when it comes to reporting on India. Especially when the government in power doesn't agree with NYT's "liberal" philosophy.

Possibly, but what they do have is robust fact checking and editorial departments. And, a history of when they are wrong reporting on those errors. Something you don't see much with organizations without those safeguards. I think it is weird to call it a liberal philosophy though, the freedom to practice your religion should be a universal human right no matter where you live.

Please do not post such biased views.
