"Every year in India, many thousands are killed in marriage-payment disputes. Why does this war on women persist?"
"In 2022, India ranked a hundred and thirty-fifth out of a hundred and forty-six countries in the World Economic Forum’s Global Gender Gap Report, behind Bangladesh (seventy-first) and Sri Lanka (a hundred and tenth) as well as Islamic monarchies such as Brunei (a hundred and fourth) and Saudi Arabia (a hundred and twenty-seventh). Such indicators can prompt questions like the one posed by the Guardian a decade ago: “Why is India so bad for women?”"
^^^ So, OP, why is India so bad for women?
Still playing the victim. And projecting.
"Waaahhhhh! Someone said something bad about my hero! Wahhhhh!" Holy shit, the irony in your posts and lack of self-awareness is thicker than molasses...
Are you blind? Go up a few posts to post 71, I already responded to it.Hell, he didn’t respond to it many posts ago, which was a lie about him promising to respond to every post. Why would now be any different?
Point taken, but I think you are missing the forest for the trees. The particular (the trees) is the abominable Indian predilection for "honor killing" something shared with other culturally backward cultures such as Afghanistan. The "forest" is the BJP and our OP's self-blinding-man love for their leader. Modi is catering to the murderous hatred beating in the hearts of extreme Hindu nationalists, for political gain. It is abhorrent.As much as I loathe the BJP, I'm with the OP on this in that it has nothing to do with Modi or the BJP, but is a problem that has existed way before them.
Way to generalize over a billion people as 'culturally backward'. I guess in your la la land, its not racist when you say it.Point taken, but I think you are missing the forest for the trees.

Nice fluff piece. Where is the violence? Where are the specifics? Where are the statements by Modi inflaming people? Thats what you claimed in your post, didn't you?Google is your friend, sport. Well, in this case, not your friend:
Mr Modi's Perilous Embrace of Hindu Nationalists
Since he was elected in 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi of India has played a cagey game, appeasing his party’s hard-line Hindu base while promoting secular goals of development and economic growth. Despite worrying signs that he was willing to humor Hindu extremists, Mr. Modi refrained from overtly approving violence against the nation’s Muslim minority.
On Sunday, Mr. Modi revealed his hand. Emboldened by a landslide victory in recent elections in India’s largest state, Uttar Pradesh, his party named a firebrand Hindu cleric, Yogi Adityanath, as the state’s leader. The move is a shocking rebuke to religious minorities, and a sign that cold political calculations ahead of national elections in 2019 have led Mr. Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party to believe that nothing stands in the way of realizing its long-held dream of transforming a secular republic into a Hindu state.
How Hindu supremacists are tearing India apart
For seven decades, India has been held together by its constitution, which promises equality to all. But Narendra Modi’s BJP is remaking the nation into one where some people count as more Indian than others
by Samanth Subramanian
India’s Prime Minister Modi pursues politics of Hindu nationalism – what does that mean?
However, Modi and the political party he represents are adherents of Hindutva. What exactly is Hindutva and how is it different from the beliefs and practices of Hinduism?
Colonial roots
Hindutva is an ideology that states that India is the homeland of the Hindus. According to believers, those who profess other faiths can live in the country only at the sufferance of Hindus.
As a scholar of contemporary Indian politics, I find this proposition to be profoundly disturbing and deeply antithetical to the the central tenets of Hinduism.
Is India Headed for an Anti-Muslim Genocide?
Baniya is merely the latest face of India’s state-driven Hindu radicalization. In a country where 84% of the population is Hindu, and just 14% Muslim, Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has achieved the astonishing feat of creating a deep sense of Hindu victimhood, stoking the othering of Muslims via disinformation, hate speech, opening old religious wounds, manipulating a servile media, silencing progressive voices, and empowering Hindu supremacist vigilante groups. “Hindu khatre mein hain” (Hindus are in danger) is a right-wing refrain that resonates deeply today.
^^^ I could go on and on . . . and on . . . just listing from a simple Google search. Of course, I guess you think we're all anti-Hindu assholes.
Well, in the words of the great Raylan Givens from the show "Justified":
“If you run into an asshole in the morning, you ran into an asshole. If you run into assholes all day, you're the asshole.”
So try again. Your post is saying nothing while pretending to say everything.Modi is catering to the murderous hatred beating in the hearts of extreme Hindu nationalists, for political gain. - Perknose
There is none so blind that he cannot see . . . except maybe you.Nice fluff piece. Where is the violence? Where are the specifics? Where are the statements by Modi inflaming people? Thats what you claimed in your post, didn't you?
I'll quote your own words again:

Don't divert or deflect. Again I'll quote your own words for you:There is none so blind that he cannot see . . . except maybe you.
I ask again: Where is the violence? Where are the specifics? Where are the statements by Modi inflaming people?Modi is catering to the murderous hatred beating in the hearts of extreme Hindu nationalists, for political gain. - Perknose
I think it’s funny that the guy who complains about generalizing a billion people has no problem generalizing half the US population.
Are nationalists just by nature the worst type of people?
Once again...projection. Diverting and deflecting is ALL you've done here when asked a question. You've not answered ONE straight forward and honestly.Don't divert or deflect. Again I'll quote your own words for you:
Of course I didn't reply to the rest of your post, because there was nothing honest or factual to reply TO.PS: You ignored the rest of my post where I replied to your so called 'points' Cute.
As for the rest, I said pile it on here right in the first post in my thread. You are the one kicking and screaming here.
I'm not quite sure it's unfair, much less racist, to generalize a country that still struggles to get people to use toilets and stop shitting in the streets as culturally backward.Way to generalize over a billion people as 'culturally backward'. I guess in your la la land, its not racist when you say it.
Your last line is a fantasy that exists only in your mind. Can you back it up outside of fluff pieces generated by your ecosystem? That Modi's statements is leading to violence by Hindu extremists?
First things first, I have answered all the main points here one by one. Unlike you who makes hit and run attacks, I have replied to rebute them with VERIFIABLE and SPECIFIC data.Once again...projection. Diverting and deflecting is ALL you've done here when asked a question. You've not answered ONE straight forward and honestly.
1. Demonetization is a failure based on what? Our agencies now have troves of data collected from the time of demonetization and the cases are being filed against offenders on an ongoing basis.
https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/demonetisation-a-success/article35326808.ece
The funny thing is that these cases are being lodged against big business, the very big business Modi is accused of being in favor of.
2. 86% of farmers supported the repealed farm laws -

Pure denial of reality by P&N when it comes to that farce called Press Freedom Rankings
To the women's dowry related deaths, yes India needs to do better on this front. Dowry related deaths happen whole of the south asia including Pakistan, Bangladesh. But don't think it is the result of BJP's oppression or anything. More women vote for BJP than men. The party has a fair representation of women leaders and workers.

You cried saying my post not having anything to do with Modi. I pointed out that at that point in time in this thread, nothing came up about addressing Modi except demeaning India. The same demeaning that has continued with Perknose calling more than a billion Indians 'culturally backward' over the crimes of a few.Of course I didn't reply to the rest of your post, because there was nothing honest or factual to reply TO.
It's not the question of hurting my little feelers, considering how India is being demeaned just to get back at Modi here, that bridge has been long crossed. The data Perknose has posted was nothing more than a general rehashing of the tropes the left is aiming is to present on issue with NOTHING specific on Modi itself (this is by your own standards, remember you crying I didn't say anything about Modi) NOTHING specific to the violence caused by Hindu whatever (Insert your flavor of the day word here) No, it was just an one sided grand summary of the threat posed by the Hindu boogeyman.
Everything that reports verifiable fact about Modi and hurts your little feelers, is a "fluff piece" according to you.
You are in denial that you refuse to let go of for the sake of your mancrush. It's pathetic defending someone as shitty as Modi is. Good job, dipshit.

Check the level of hypocrisy folks. You are demeaning Indians in the first paragraph while preaching in the next. This is just racism continued with deaf ears and foot in the mouth disease.I'm not quite sure it's unfair, much less racist, to generalize a country that still struggles to get people to use toilets and stop shitting in the streets as culturally backward.
Meanwhile, nationalism always leads to violence. You've advocated for violence and even war multiple times in this thread.

Again nothing specfic and nothing to have to Modi 'catering' to 'extreme Hindu Nationalists' (Perknose's words)And interesting op-ed on this “topic”
How Hinduism Became a Political Weapon in India
As an ideology, Hindu nationalism is not even 100 years old—but it has dramatically reshaped politics in India, with Narendra Modi’s help.www.theatlantic.com
No, man, I'm demeaning you, not Indians in general. You just have your nationalist head so far up your own ass you can't tell the difference.Check the level of hypocrisy folks. You are demeaning Indians in the first paragraph while preaching in the next. This is just racism continued with deaf ears and foot in the mouth disease.
And the BJP is doing its best to solve the issues facing Indians. Here is something specific pertaining to the issue -
https://pib.gov.in/PressReleaseIframePage.aspx?PRID=1797158#:~:text=About 10.9 crore individual household,country under SBM (G).
10,9 crores means 109 million toilets.
But as for you, Vic. Keep up with demeaning Indians and do keep up with your preaching as well. This would only illustrate what I have been saying : you are a hypocritical piece of crap.
Oh and Perknose still hasn't put up anything backing up his statement except fluff.
What? You are attempting to lie now. I will post your original statement here:No, man, I'm demeaning you, not Indians in general. You just have your nationalist head so far up your own ass you can't tell the difference.
You are not just claiming, but justifying the racism by saying its fair to generalize a country over toilets and 'street shitting' I never entered the picture you are presenting here in your first paragraph. If you can lie so openly about your own statement when the facts are plain here, then you are essentially an untrustworthy fellow.I'm not quite sure it's unfair, much less racist, to generalize a country that still struggles to get people to use toilets and stop shitting in the streets as culturally backward.
Meanwhile, nationalism always leads to violence. You've advocated for violence and even war multiple times in this thread.
I wonder how Modi and Erdogan stack up.Google is your friend, sport. Well, in this case, not your friend:

Just a grand summarization of the left's boogeyman.
I never said you shouldn't have made a thread. But you did make it a bit pointless with your own posts and replies. You're using questionably biased news sources to aid your defense, and refuting reality with your feelings. Then accusing others of doing just that.
Sounds almost like MAGAtards here, it's sad to see and most people just want you to put down the megaphone of cultish bootlicking. Try some objective thinking from an outside view for once without the dipshittery.

3. The world's media outlets (the legitimate ones) aren't "out to get Modi" anymore than they're "out to get" Putin, or Kim Jong Un. 4. They report factual investigating, and it's pure denial to refute those facts only with emotional accusations, like the ones listed in the start of this post. 5. You look like a clown.
Ha, you are a first rate hypocrite and also an imbecile for putting Modi, Putin and Kim Jong Un in the same bracket.You look like a clown. - Pohemi
I acknowledged the problems India is facing. See my post about the dowry related deaths as an example here.I’m not sure nationalism leaves room for objective perspective.
Patriotism leaves room for questioning your countries negative actions.
Nationalism leaves room for victim blaming
