Since everyone keeps repeating the genocide in Xinjiang BS, why don't I hear about the massive human rights violations against Muslims in India?
Modi, a fanatical Hindu (that guy was elected, so much for democracy), is known for his anti-Muslim tirades, that often have fatal consequences:

https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/ind...ation-bjp-modi



Not to mention the government's persecution of anyone (media etc.) that supports or draws attention to the striking farmers, a topic that is basically ignored in the West.

The humans rights situation in India is worse than in China, yet nobody talks about it, no sanctions or anything. Are human rights violations OK as long as the perpetrators have been elected?

China is easy to point out because much of the woke social justice warriors kneel before China.

I don't expect you're going to discuss what Pakistan and Bangladesh did to Hindus who used to live in those countries.

Or the level of Muslim terrorism that is commonplace in India.

So India opposes a death cult that supports the murder and subjugation of non-Muslims, founded by a rapist, murderer and pedophile? A cult that holds that founder as the "ideal man" and encourages it's followers to emulate him? Is that what you're saying?

Shall we discuss what Islamists have done to those across the world that are not members of that community?

Is the genocide of Uyghurs BS?

Does one genocide make another one OK?
I agree India is beginning to look no different than China and Israel. But China is a big competition for US so it gets more "attention".

I don't see how the OP is comparing China's camps of slavery, rape, and other human abuses to what is taking place in India. Not even close.

Indian Muslims are usually the victims of Hindu aggression, not the other way round.

Modi has a long history of trying to frame Muslims, he was even banned from the US for years.

Most liberals have no clue about the incredible violence and evil that goes on in dozens of places outside the US.

They get upset about a trans woman not being able to compete against biological women in sports, but they just don’t care about the death and persecution outside their border by other countries because it doesn’t fit their narrative about the US being the main country of evil.

They do get upset when the US military strikes a legitimate target, but they don’t care about the fact that if we don’t hit that target, those same people will blow up hundreds of innocent civilians in a market square. If that detonation happens, it’s somehow the US’s fault anyway.

That’s the mindset of idiot liberals in the US. Conservatives, on the other hand, understand that many countries around the world are much more evil than we are, but the problem is what to do about it? Commit troops in India to stop the violence? Commit troops to China to protect the Uyghurs? Neither of those countries would accept that, so what exactly would you like the US to do?

Making a statement of condemnation is worthless.

NOthing, the US should do nothing. But it can lay sanctions and refuse to deal with countries that violate human rights until they stop. That we can do, should do.

I am not so sure that is still the case (is surely was like 10 years ago, but then again, back then Xinjiang was more like Afghanistan, with frequent terrorist attacks), the Newsclick offices for instance were raided by the Modi government because of Newsclick's reporting on the farmers' strike.
