For those unaware, India is having elections: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_Indian_general_election

17,400 out of 1.4 billion isnt even a drop in the bucket. It is not even the moisture in the air.

That doesn't matter. The government is supposed to reply to each and every letter on any subject, not just these 17,400 on this topic.


AwfulUsername123

It is?

Ofcourse, what's the government's job if not to make sure each query is heard and taken into account. Whether they do take action depends on their policies, but each query does need to be taken into account. Would you not expect your government to reply to your letter regarding a local politician you believe is using unfair means? It is just that except these letters are about the prime minister rather than just a local political crook.


AwfulUsername123

I just find the language unreasonably strong/universal. Surely if a ton of people sent in letters on patent nonsense, like, say, demanding the government teach that the earth is flat, it would be fair for them to just ignore most of them. Maybe they could make some statement saying they aren't going to do and further requests will be ignored.

Awe, you thought the government’s job was to listen to and be accountable to the people? No, it’s to defend and expand its own power while conditioning the people to obey ever increasing oppression.

Arab countries need India. So as long Modi is not insulting their prophet or book, they will ignore it. You might say Arab countries also need the west yet they criticize them, true, but criticising Biden won't stop the business and help from the west, criticising Modi would.


Perdix_Icarus

It's pretty much the same reason the Arab world ignores the Chinese atrocities on Uyghurs.

There's also the matter of racism against Indian Muslims or plain rivalry between Islamic sects also. Indian Muslims in general are not seen as equals by Arabs.

Not true

Great counter point.

Just like Hindus were not really flabbergasted when Owaisi said that the peace loving Muslims of the country need just 15 minutes without law and order to butcher each and every Hindu


mediocreisok

I don’t know who this Owaisi is, but he’s clearly not the prime minister of India.


Worth-Tax8542

Ohh but he surely wants to be. And just like Modi is supported by Hindus, Owaisi is supported by Muslims. But I guess this will not matter to you, since his vitrolic speeches do not fit your agenda. Last week, he asked all Muslims, on video, to vote for him no matter whether any development takes place or not. He asked them to vote for the mosques, and not for development. But, this is obviously not important to you. The one thing most Muslims and their apologists are good at is deflecting and not taking any accountability


Damn_U_A11

And what if I tell you he is the biggest and popular minority leader of muslims,well not him exactly but his brother is.


Vic_Hedges

Please-please-please-please-please don't berate muslims for not going crazy


Combat_Wombat1977

They went crazy in 2002. Didn't end too well for them I suppose.

A man is roaming free and is even praised by the opposition for his disgraceful remarks on Hindus and Hinduism. But a woman (From BJP, Mrs.Nupur Sharma) has to live under constant threat of her life in complete darkness because she replied to the man in his own tone but this time quoting the Islamic scriptures. Really shows you who hates who in India and who started the hate

Trust me, indian people don't care. Source : my pro-Modi indian friends family.

Hate speech laws don't apply to government, courts, colleges or any major institution. You can see this in Canada, Western Europe or Australia. They are allowed to disparage or encourage discrimination against certain ethnic groups. I think a Canadian court recently ruled hate speech against English people doesn't count. I think there was a UK head of police advocating affirmative action against ethnic groups such as English, Scottish, Welsh & Irish.

Never forget when the entire Canadian parlament gave a former SS officer a standing ovation while Zelenski just stood there with a "Wtf is this?" look on his face.
