    If the west is scared of China, then India’s PM Modi is terrified of them. In June 2020, When China invaded India in Galwan and beat our 20 soldiers to death, Modi publicly state that nothing happened in Galwan. Since then he has been unable to take China’s name, even when China built an entire village with paved roads in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh.
    The Modi govt that rules India is ideologically fascist dictatorial, majoritarian, and violently Hindu supremacist. If that is also your country’s ideological stance then we do have a lot in common.

      Maybe I should have said historical ideological similarities. India has been a democracy, which makes you seem much more trustworthy than China. Democracy is having a hard time in many places right now, though.

      Where is this statement coming from? India literally took the Galwan issue with China. India lost 20 brave men who were cremated with state honours. It was in the news for weeks. I don’t know where your “Nothing happened” statement is coming from. The defence minister/ EAM answered questions on this in parliament.

        There are two sides here - absolute nationalism where India and Modi can do no wrong, and absolute cucks where everything that India, Modi, or Hindus do is all wrong. OP is one of these extremes.

      You may be wrong in understanding geopolitics, just like every other Indian. I am also an Indian, and a leftist at that, and let me explain to you Modi’s motive behind China simping.

      Modi understands very well that he is the face of BJP and the Hindutva neofascist ideological movement, and that BJP is falling out of favour with the masses. Hence why today he passed the women reservation bill, which was introduced few days ago. This is to sugarcoat the horrific Manipur issue, and to gain women’s votebank for elections next year.

      Now, to come to why he made ANI release that video statement of how nothing happened at borders (Galwan and 40 soldiers), he did this because he realises there is a sentiment in the underbelly of many Indians against “angrej” aka Western devil, reminding of the trauma of British Raj 200 year colonisation period (hence why all these nationalist biopic movies on theaters for the past 5-6 years), so that he can capitalise on that sentiment. The core reason, however, is that Modi and Indian thinktanks see BRICS+ has won over the NATO western alliance as far as global power dynamics is concerned, and India to date has been a liberal softpower that simps for west, and one that west always tries to weaponise as a counter to China’s toppling of USA on the global stage.

      Modi is doing this as a two stones one bird move – to get along with China and Russia, as the second fiddle economically to China and third fiddle militarily to Russia and China, and to seal the fate of NATO that is trying to latch onto India for years as a method to counter China, and to rile up China by militarily funding Taiwan right now. He is doing this so that he and BJP get immortalised as the ones making India a core part of the new dominant global hegemon (fueling his whole vishwaguru populist propaganda).

      This also buys RSS/VHP more time for the 2024 Hindu Rashtra/Caliphate vision, to convert this country over time by installing a complete framework of ISIS style neofascist terror state, which will make Taliban look like a children’s playground. The country has fallen into the wrong hands at the wrong time, and the price of rightwing Hindutva casteism will be payed by the country after centuries, if INDIA alliance does not win the next year’s election to give us some breathing room to de-poison our mass media and social culture.
