> I mean this is utterly condescending and racist. There is nothing racist about the international community raising concerns about violations of basic democratic rights such as free speech and right of assembly. > I think anytime anything happens to some minority in the the Great USA, us Indians also need to call our MP and ask them to create noise. I would support Indians doing this. Please raise concerns with your representatives when you see human rights violations in any part of the world and ask them to speak about it in international forums. In the past, India has done a commendable job in helping minorities persecuted by the CCP. Many Tibetian Buddhists were given refuge in India, including Dalai Lama, who fled Tibet in 1959. Contrary to it's history, India is staying mum on contemporary persecution of religious minorities in neighboring countries such as Rohingyas in Myanmar and Uyghurs in China.

>>> There is nothing racist about the international community raising concerns about violations of basic democratic rights such as free speech and right of assembly. Basic democratic rights were not hampered, also right of assembly. It is this Right of violence which has become a problem. The government allowed the agitators to assemble until violence started. We see this again and again, a vocal minority taking it to the extreme and then when law is enforced people always blame the government. No one talks about how normal people were affected both during the CCA (when regular throughfares were blocked by the agitators) and now when state roads were blocked. Can you hold the capital to hostage? I mean what does this talk about law and order people are allowed to go berserk in the capital. This is India's Capitol insurgency moment, nothing else. >>> India is staying mum on contemporary persecution of religious minorities in neighboring countries such as Rohingyas in Myanmar and Uyghurs in China. India has taken in Rohingya refugees just like Tibetan refugees before, but India also cant take more since we have our own problems and the demographic change problem is real, just read up on what is happening in the Indian state of Assam. India also does not interfere with other countries' policies.

  > Basic democratic rights were not hampered, also right of assembly. False. The government has repeatedly used Section 144 to deny the right to assemble and protest. During Hathras gangrape, not only did the government deny such rights to those who wanted to express solidarity with the victim and victims family by using Section 144. It turned a blind eye when the perpetrators milleu openly violated the section to assemble to show support on behalf of the accused. Why, because those are BJP's (the ruling party's) vote base. The party IT cell head (Malviya) divulged the identity of the victim of rape although this is against the law. No charges have brought against Malviya or those who assembled in support of the gangrape accused in violation of Section 144.

  > India has taken in Rohingya refugees just like Tibetan … Since we are talking about this government could you point me to stats on Rohingya's given asylum in India. How many has been given asylum ? I presume you were speaking from a position of knowledge. On lack of a response I will update my assumptions about your good faith.
