This type of “western liberal” smear campaign against a democratically elected leader of the largest democracies is quite annoying actually.
The issues of religious tensions in India are a lot more complex, and I wish liberals in the West stop passing judgment to please their own sense of false morality.
Blame the mainstream media, both in the U.S. and India. Most of the time they write about the Hindu reaction to Muslim terrorism without mentioning the inciting incident: the massacre of Hindus by Muslims who set the train on fire. Of course the State Department appeases Muslims too.
US and UK are two countries without any moral backbone. US just recently granted immunity to Mumbai 26/11 mass murderers. And while Modi was treating as the “bad guy” all along, it’s funny to see how US quickly changed her stand on Modi for the prospect of trade with India.
