Blindness to their own hypocrisy and being stuck in the past.
The car market is BURNING in Russia
The opposite actually. It's just that with over 80% approval rating for the current dispensation, people are not interested in listening to media's lies. But there's plenty of anti-BJP news around.
We have state election counting going on today for 4 states and BJP is winning by a huge margin in 3 of them.

All those attacks from Western institutions on the Indian govt are packed with agenda. In fact, before BJP came to power, just like Trump, even he had to deal with fake news and was entirely reliant on social media.
But that's not the point. What my post was about is the fact that the Western population is for the first time dealing with foreign criticisms directly in English. They don't have to wait for translations to come in. So the reach is far faster and more widespread in the West 'cause pretty much everybody in the US and Europe understand English.
Perfect summation of the West. There are no better words to express them.
Flat out refuses to accept facts, then compares Modi to Trump thinking it's a good debating stance.Indian argument on Ukraine is basically, "we think you did us wrong several decades ago, so now we're doing you wrong even though we know it's wrong." China can't defend its stance on Russia because it actually tries to defend its stance, India doesn't try to defend their stance it just deflects and compares it to Bangladesh or some other ancient BS.
And yet it's always India that brings up 50 year-old gripes to excuse its present wrong-doings.
A lot of people thought Hitler was a nice guy. With only germany's interests at heart. They voted him into power. It doesn't change the fact that Modi is running an authoritarian govt.

Hindu Nationalist Party winning in a nation with a Hindu majority, shock horror. If you had a Muslim Nationalist Party it would probably win in a nation full of Muslims too. Having a majority isn't all it takes to make a true democracy.
It's a good one. Using the media to silence the Opposition is what fascists do, and both were victims of that.
Not at all. Our stance is... "It's not our problem. Deal with it."
We don't. You are hung up on it. Guilt?
All you've done is post stuff written by the Far Left, his enemies basically. Smarter people would figure out what's happening around the world concerning the Left.
Not with the current margins.
In three major states, it's currently +52, +42 and +38 seats. Basically landslide.
And no, it has little to do with religion, more to do with the economy. Neither religion nor foreign policy are major factors in Indian elections. Western media tries to push that narrative, but BJP winning elections has a lot to do with their performance, helped by the total failure of the Congress between 2009-14. BJP tried playing the nationalist card in 2004 and lost, paved the way for 10 years of Muslim-appeasing leftist Congress (mis)rule in a Hindu majority country.
We are at least a minimum of 10 years away from such things becoming a factor in India. People need to accumulate a certain level of wealth before they can think of happenings outside the household. That's $5000-6000 per capita nominal income for example. Or a national level HDI above 0.8. But today, as long as the ruling dispensation can provide macroeconomic stability and the poor have enough food and jobs, they will win elections.
And no, right wing and left wing are still quite a distance away from being part of the election ethos. So stuff that matters in the West is very different from what's important in India. It's actually why Western media fails to understand the dynamics of India, head-scratching being the norm. It's also why Western propaganda doesn't work in India, the audience for it is negligble. It's also why Western media directs propaganda against India within its own demographic in order to create a negative perception of India, as @Optimist has demonstrated in post 20912.
NATO should be ready for ‘bad news’ from Ukraine, Stoltenberg warns
‘We have to support Ukraine in both good and bad times,’ NATO chief says in ARD interview.
Trump is a criminal who lacks the diplomatic skills and tact necessary for leadership even leaving his criminality aside. As for Modi, he just asks the police to stand down when Hindus are on pogroms.
It's not our problem, we'll support the wrong-doer anyway and bitch about the past is India's stance.
You always do, the video in the previous post was resounding proof of that.
