The next supposed candidate to replace modi is much worse. Look up Uttar Pradesh and it's chief minister Yogi Adityanath. It's only gonna get worse for India.
I find it jarring that the world seems to be turning a blind eye, India is almost on the same level of Russia at this point, people are killed in protests, opposition leaders get arrested on bs or even no charges (edit: and it was recently amended by BJP(Modi), 2018 ig, that guilty until proven innocent, I won’t bother explaining why it’s bad), laws are constantly amended to give the ruling party more power, both the ED and EC and the lower level courts are practically extensions of the ruling party and they don’t even bother hiding it, media praises modi 24x7, there hasn’t been a single press conference since 2014, and there is even a new scheme where if you want to participate in any sort of social media, you have to practically get registered with the government, and they can strike down any content they want without any warning
Oh wait, India is a trade partner of the US? Sorry my bad
The same country that is looking into creating their own democratic index because they're falling on the real ones now is too focused on rights. Seems totally coincidental.
