    Nahendra Modi is a Hindu nationalist, who rose to power amidst questions on his role in what was arguably a pogrom in Gujarat, which likely cost the lives of over a thousand Muslims.

    The whole country is sliding towards authoritarianism and Muslims are increasingly marginalized and discriminated against. Lynchings have surged. Kashmir is majority Muslim. These students were almost certainly Muslim too.

      Yeah, this bullshit is happening all over the globe lately. It’s like people forgot all about World War 2 and the horrors of fascism.

      Yeah, if you look at some of the rethoric coming from Hindu nationalists, it’s very similar to the stuff white supremacists say. It’s just pure racism.
