You're saying that people are creating brand new HN accounts to support the Indian government? I don't see that. I looked at all the comments by green accounts in this thread:

Pro Indian government: 1 comment, 1 account

Anti Indian government: 8 comments, 4 accounts

Unknown: 2 comments, 1 account

I am saying that this is the trend on all threads that are critical of the Indian government and calls out its propaganda. It's either that or down votes.

It is difficult to call out bad behavior by government.

True. It's quite telling that as soon as it was morning in India this post fell off the top page.

Downvotes require 500 karma. One cannot create a account and do it.

You won't get a reply. For presenting any evidence like that on /r/india you would be promptly get banned. These guys ruined /r/india it's now full of anti modi bhajan 24/7. The only reason I still stick with reddit is because of some technical subs like /r/programming. Now these people aren't leaving even hacker news.

r/India is an anti-Modi partisan sub. The last I checked they were expecting Biden administration to interfere in India's internal matters. Not a surprise since we still have a good number of Mir jaffers and Jai chands in the country. The unfortunate thing is that's the first place where foreign redditors will go whenever they want to see something India related.

All that aside, it's still a good place to see some meltdowns.
