"It is a huge disappointment and a devastating blow to peace efforts to see the leader of the world's largest democracy hug the world's most bloody criminal in Moscow on such a day..."
Modi is a complete scumbag!
India has always favoured the Russians as armament suppliers but I think they are having 2nd thoughts now as Russian military equipment has proved extremely 2nd rate in the Ukraine war!
The Congress Party who ruled India for many years, were founded on the basis of equality between India's majority Hindu population and India's religious minorities (Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Buddhists, Jains, Parsi, etc). It's only recently that the right-wing Hindu extremists have wrested power from the Congress Party and are trying to turn India in a 'one religion' state, like Pakistan and Afghanistan!
@Paulos_the_fog Long term unsolved problems at the Pakistan-Indian border and massive anti-muslim Propaganda help them I'm afraid. A very old long term friend of mine had completely fallen for that and sends me terrible far right propaganda pieces from Social media about Europe's problems with Muslim immigrants. He's absolutely creeping into the rabbit hole.
@Paulos_the_fog I have friends in India who don't like his nationalist ego politics , and the last votes weren't as good as expected ( for him), but he's still very popular.
