Why does India always get a pass?

What better proof can I give you than elections? BJP (Modis party) won in a landslide in state be elections held in the biggest state of India after demonetization.
Look up for Uttar Pradesh elections 2017.

If you want a proper survey, here you go-

So was demonetization the only point of election? This is a pure strawman.

I'll give you facts - the courts was bombarded with petitions against demonetization. This is from all over India and not just UP.

Besides this, the list of heavy weights calling the move totalitarian and total fuckery. It is so slanted that it's not even funny, Modi screwed up big time and set the economy back. Poor people were the hardest hit.

There is also a report that came months after the move, which proved that the common man was hardest hit - http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/bu...monetisation-parliamentary-panel-2256385.html

FACTS. Not an opinion of a Bhakt.

But hey, if you want, please ignore facts just because you hate Modi and then call me biased and bhakt.
lol

Dude, you are still justifying the massacre of 2000+ people among other things. It doesnt matter what I think about it, everyone make their opinion about you.

I would say the same for Trump. And you know how good that guy is .. It means squat if the guy is voted into power, if it's backward ass, murdering, racist piece of shit.

Any reason why you brought Trump (btw his approval ratings are low as per media reports).
 
It's sickening that this sort of shit doesn't get enough coverage by the media. I've always known that India has a very dark side though.

Thinking it over, I feel like this gets enough coverage by the media, how much more do you want? America has its own problems to talk about and deal with. Do you really think people care enough about India when countries have their own problems?

And not only that, the last thing we need is years of the media negatively talking about India. They’ve already associated turbans = Muslims = terrorist in a lot of people’s minds. Part of the reason brown people are attacked like the recent shootings in Kansas and other states are because of the media. Part of the reason relgiious minorities like Sikhs are attacked in America is because of the media.

As for “dark side”, welcome to pretty much any country in the world. China, Japan, America, etc. Hell, the British empire is responsible for some of the mess in India.

India isn't associated with Islam, China, wackiness, being some part of Africa or being white.

Therefore lack of media coverage.

WP: A woman interviewed 100 convicted rapists in India. This is what she learned.

...In the interviews, many men made excuses or gave justifications for their actions. Many denied rape happened at all. “There were only three or four who said we are repenting. Others had found a way to put their actions into some justification, neutralize, or blame action onto the victim.”

One case in particular, participant 49, sent Pandey on an unexpected journey. He expressed remorse for raping a 5-year-old girl. “He said ‘yes I feel bad, I ruined her life.’ Now she is no longer a virgin, no one would marry her. Then he said, ‘I would accept her, I will marry her when I come out of jail.’”
