There is no social strife in India. There's just propaganda, amplified by mostly Western media.

There are 1.3 billion people here. There are fewer incidents than what we see coming out of Portland OR alone. Or France and Sweden in December end.

The problem is that the current government does not listen to the West any more. Pfizer etc were shown the door. Russian gas imports have increased massively since April 2022.

There's an election coming up and the current government is likely to continue.

Hence the coordinated attacks by the BBC and this short-seller.

There's a lot of social strife. We've seen how the other religions are being persecuted. Caste based issues still cause friction. Then there's regional seperatism, rich v poor. There's a lot more cause for social problems in India by far then there is in China. You're being disingenous if you say there arent.

If you think that the current govenrment doesnt listen to the West then you dont really understand the balance of economic power in the world. Virtually all of the growth that India as achieved in the last 20 years comes from selling to the West. If we shut you down like we did with Russia, how long do you think your economy would last. India is only as big as the UK or France in economic terms, they have a good growth story, but dont think you're in anyway big enough to cause the west any problems or big enough to ignore what they want.

The self-entitled arrogance

In 1998, we were under sanctions. Look it up.

We're much stronger now, economically and otherwise.

If attempted, see how it accelerates de-dollarisation. R5 has already been announced. The moment OPEC switches away from the dollar, the US economy is done for.

Spoken as a true Brahmin and Hindutva.

See my surname, learn what it means.

Just Brahman things
