A recent propaganda video for Narendra Modi purports to show a young student returning to the arms of her tearful parents, saying Modi “stopped the war” in a foreign land (Ukraine is implied) to allow Indians to pass to safety.

        This isn’t new. Modi never speaks out against negative things unless it’s against minorities. It’s a big brain psychological move. Only speak about positive things and make the dumb voters think everything is going well.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    A recent propaganda video for Narendra Modi purports to show a young student returning to the arms of her tearful parents, saying that he “stopped the war” in a foreign land (Ukraine is implied) to allow Indians to pass to safety.

    Anurag Thakur, a Minister in his cabinet shared the video with the slogan, Jo raksha kare saat samundar paar voh hai hamara parivar (He who protects us across seven seas, is a member of our family).

    The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) has claimed to have exposed a human trafficking network that lured young men through social media channels and agents with the promise of highly paid jobs in Russia.

    Being forcibly detained by a foreign state, locked up and threatened with 10 years in prison if they refuse to fight isn’t a mere “difficult situation”: it’s a war crime and a heinous violation of international law.

    Take Russia’s state-owned news agency Sputnik India: on Kejriwal’s arrest, it prints BJP statements as fact, accusing “Western” media of anti-BJP bias and suggesting that Opposition leaders are playing a “dictatorship card”.

    For instance, Communist Party of India MP Binoy Viswam wrote a letter to external affairs minister S Jaishankar saying “sending Indian citizens to the war zone is not justifiable”, and “is telling of the complete failure in generating meaningful employment in the country”; and “ordinary people who are desperate with unemployment and poverty will pay a heavy price for Prime Minster Modi’s apparent bonhomie with Israel.” The exact same words would apply to Russia, but no one is saying them.
