In case some of the community members are not fully aware of the background of the comment about mass murder: Modi was the Chief Minister of Gujarat when there were religious riots in 2002 [1]. Of course, him being a Hindu nationalist it's pretty obvious that many Muslims were persecuted/killed. Since then he's tried to clean his image internationally while systematically taking the world's largest democracy's democratic values to the brink. The Bush administration had denied him a diplomatic visa in 2005 [2] for his role in the riots. Finally, the UAPA [3] act that was referred to the parent post is a way to imprison activitsts/journalists/political opponents etc. A strategy long developed and honed by all sorts of autocrats.

He's tried to clean his image internationally to some extent, but it's obvious in India -- and to anyone who looks into the "riots" -- that he was behind a lot of it. Committing genocide is a big reason for why he was supported and got elected.

The US backed Pakistan while it carried out the genocide of between 2.4-3 million hindus in Bangladesh in 1971. US administration's morality only exists to further it's political goals. Especially when it is not Europe.
