    Yep -- I'd even go further & say the India is in many ways the most worrying case of democratic backsliding in 21st century (because of its sheer size) and that the Washington not only ignores it but has (on a bipartisan basis) embraced Modi.https://twitter.com/ishaantharoor/status/1201531785198391296 …

    I don't write about India at the Post for perhaps obvious reasons. But it always strikes me as odd how much more attention DC pays to the behaviors of people like Erdogan, Putin, even Orban than the leader of the world's biggest democracy https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/12/09/blood-and-soil-in-narendra-modis-india …

        Leaders of the largest democracy who watched over genocide of minorities: INDIRA GANDHI RAJIV GANDHI NARENDRA MODI This list doesn't include small players.. To say that it is a new phenomenon is either ignorant or deliberate effort to protect the so called secularists.

        Ignoring it is sad but unsurprising- US government cares a lot less about what other countries do when it doesn't directly impact an active concern than most people think- but agree about the amount of buddying up to Modi. Many lack a stance between 'praise' and 'threatening war'

        I think that’s a little unfair to the Obama admin; @brhodes talks here about how they tried to work with Modi on climate while still pushing him on human rights.https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pod-save-the-world/id1200016351?i=1000450190169 …

        not just big, but at the centre of five of the most consequential issues of the times. coal/climate. Pakistan/nukes. China (also nukes). Jihadis. Rapid digitization. they're all there.
