      videos of Hindu right-wing influencers abusing Khan with communal slurs and issuing rape threats and death threats against her began to surface

      I guess 100%

      You must only make note of the bad news. There’s plenty of it, I’ll grant, but I doubt that it’s significantly different than most other countries on a per capita basis. There’s good news as well, but it’s true that a rather large percentage of people suck in general regardless of where they’re at.

        The amount of news regarding systematic rape, the disadvantaging of women in general, lynch mobs, religious zealotness and suspects dying in police costudy are staggering. There’s not one country out there that’s even coming close to that.

          Palestine would beg to differ. I know there are at least a few others, but that’s the most well-known one ATM & I’m sure you get my point.

            With the difference being Palestine being the victim of ethnic cleansing, apartheid and a siege by a hostile force.

            There is no external force brutalizing India since the brits left decades ago; they themselves are fully responsible for all of their dehumanizing bullshit by now.

        Their gormless caste system and it’s consequences does some pretty heavy lifting.
