also it just gets to me how the govt is leveraging india's general (past) 'perception' as a secular democracy to build up goodwill and a good reputation for itself externally while it's doing everything thing it can to stifle democracy internally

#like we rank amongst the worst countries in the world in terms of freedom of the press #and we're one of the most dangerous countries in the world for journalists #what few news organisations haven't already sold themselves to the govt are browbeaten into submission #or subject to all sorts of it and ed raids #a documentary abt the gujarat riots is banned but a film based entirely on lies is promoted by the pm himself #and his lackeys in the build up to state elections #and no one bat an eye #i wish I could explain how i feel about this more eloquently but it's just so overwhelming i don't even know where to start #and what to do
