Is Modi a despotic asshole? Yes.
Has Modi murdered some of his own citizens? Yes.
Has Modi authorized the assassinations of Sikh emigrants in foreign nations? Yes
Why then should anyone believe his government?
Well if the US would want to be taken serious on calling out human rights violations of other countries, they should stop aiding a genocide and brutalizing their protesting students.
What we see now is exactly what everyone has warned off, that was able to look a bit ahead. The US, Israel, UK, Germany and others who are still clamping down on genocide against the Palestinians are loosing all face and all credibility in the world. We now see some fascists in a small country able to do irreparable damage to a rule based international order, thanks to the willful complicity of nations like the US.
Right wing fundamentalist cuckoo zealots run India now.
Modi, the RSS/BJP and their supporters gave cover to the barbarism that took place in Manipur, the gang rapes, arson, murder, essentially endorsing it. They cut off the internet so nothing could get out while it unfolded.
India has gone the way of backwards ass religious authoritarianism. Even assassinating a sikh activist on Canadian soil.
Deeply biased in favor of human rights, maybe.
You seem to think that the US gives a shit about human rights. Pushing its own geopolitical agenda is the ONLY thing the US cares about. And no, I don't like Modi one bit, I'm just not blind to rank hypocrisy.

Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
