    That their (real and serious) criminality is used to deflect from the wretched systems that enabled monsters at every turn since the establishment of their respective governments?

    *Maybe India wasn’t as much like that at one point. Idk almost anything about its history after the East India Company left up until the last ~15 years. I’m sure some comrade will be helpful in denouncing my naivety, I just want to be transparent.

      Indian family, still in India have gone from Ghanhi like to being very pro-Modi. This includes tendency to extremist Hinuism which as ever ignores peaceful coexistence with hating Muslims, Christians and Jews, anything at all from Pakistan and surprisingly pro-Trump as Modi really likes him too. Frighteningly MAGA like when we visit.

        I appreciate your information.

        Perhaps I wasn’t clear enough: What I was saying is that Israel, the US, and the Russian Federation are all abominations and have been since their respective days of founding. I know it’s pretty bad in India lately (e.g. I know a little bit about Kashmir, Hindutvas, etc.) but I don’t know enough to make a claim about the history of the Republic of India from its inception in the same way as I can for the other three.

          Ah, apologies, I’m reading in between jobs coming in and not paying sufficient attention. There is that huge difference as you say.
