vivekpandian··on Koo, India’s free-speech Twitter alternative
It has become very common these days, to label people who don't agree with them as fascists, nationalists etc. This kind of mentality trivializes real issues. Facebook, Twitter and other big tech think of themselves as erstwhile English East India company or Dutch East India company. Just because someone is from the west, doesn't give them any right to give any kind of certificate to government of other countries.

Interesting. When the media is objective, they are branded as pro-BJP, Sangi, Bhakts etc. It's not fair to expect all the media to spew hate against the ruling government
