> selling out public infrastructure to capitalists
Not sure what you mean. If there are any specific scandals you can point out to, I'd be really happy to know more.
Are you suggesting govt. should not contract out infrastructure projects?
> for waiving loans for billion dollar scammers
More than 80% of property/money of such defaulters has been taken back by the government.

> farmers resort to suicide when they are unable to pay back their small loans
The govt. pays a lot of money to farmers. 21% of farm income is from govt. subsidies. (Subsidies that the US and other developed nations have been fighting to stop, so that they can compete in Indian markets).
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/economic-policy/farm-subsidies-account-for-21-farm-income-per-hectare-with-continuing-patronage-of-governments/ https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/blogs/economic-policy/fa...
Farmer suicides have been more or less constant for many decades now. Its a sad situation and the causes of suicides are many and varied.
The current govt. has brought in a lot of technology driven improvements to distribution of subsidies, eliminating middlemen, etc.
The current farmer protests are mostly by rich farmer middlemen from Punjab, who will see their commissions reduces significantly if farmers start selling in markets with real competition.
> when "elected governments" act as the nazi party and "image" is worth more than lives of ordinary citizens
This could potentially mean very many things. It would help if you could be specific. Just shouting Nazi and lives of ordinary citizens means nothing.
> have people disappear as they like
Not very knowledgeable on this subject. Would love to hear more.
> when journalists are arrested and people killed for speaking against this "Elected government"
Most incidents I have seen are for deliberate instances of mis-information and shoddy journalism, leading to tense situations. I would be glad to hear of any instances where journalists have been wrongfully arrested.
The example you cite is for a journalist who was arrested based on a complaint from a Woman's Union, and that was for his posts of FB rather.
I never support suppression of free speech and news media, but the North Eastern states of India have a unique situation because China is fomenting a lot of separatism within the states and it is internationally knows that it claims Arunachal Pradesh as its own.
- selimthegrim 5y agoI mean this is a little much - Manipur and Meghalaya are Hindu majority and China is fomenting separatism there too?
- prudhvis 5y agoInteresting you bring this up. A counter example would be what's happening in Balochistan. It has a majority Muslim population, is India forme ting separatism there too?
- selimthegrim 5y agoI wouldn’t say fomenting but it’s happy to give the swing a push.
