World News
A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

For as broken Pakistan is, this is direct evidence of why its a good thing it exists lol.
How exactly?
They claim that they are doing this to help non-muslim refugees fleeing places like Pakistan. Their claim is that they can't accommodate all refugees so the first preference is for non-muslims being persecuted.
If Pakistan didn't exist, this persecution wouldn't be there?
There are no refugees fleeing either country, the borders are locked down and heavily militarized.
The people who do cross the border with visas are very few and only get access via special approval such as if they have family or business due to closeness to the border.
Pakistan doesn't even accept refugees as citizens anymore because they don't ever expect anyone to come from India.
The joke is that Pakistan's founders claimed a united India would never last because it would fall to the Hindu majority who would nationilze around their identity and oppress everyone else which is exactly what happend. And not just with Muslims, the Sikh as well who get frequently blamed for public outrage and protests.
This all happening just gives credit for Pakistan's purpose because it is a separate country that was created with the intent of avoiding explained problem by being a separate entity and moving all the Muslims there. For its purpose of avoiding being an oppressed minority, it succeded.
Although I do think they should reopen the border and let the remaining Muslim population in India easily move seeing as they are at the hands of Modi who was already involved in a Massacre not even 2 decades ago.
Not true - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Illegal_immigration_to_India
It's not even close to that. For sure there needs to be big improvements in minority rights but it's not even close to what Pakistan (and Bangladesh) are. India is heavily flawed but still has a functional democracy and secular state while not a single PM in Pakistan has completed a full term. Lol like they are not even comparable. If anything, India is an achievement of secularism and a good example of why you should separate the church and state.
Now that is a circular argument because the nationalists say "look at Pakistan and Bangladesh, Muslims got that, why aren't we getting one?". So creation of Pakistan is what gives credit to their argument.
Did they? Do Pakistani Muslims lead better life than Indian Muslims?
It's a lot close to that. India is fastly moving towards an authoritarian fascist rule. Pakistan has better media index than India & that says something . So no wonder you don't know what you are talking about. Is persecution of journalists democratic?. India is far worse in minority treatment than Bangladesh and if you feel better comparing yourself to Pakistan, keep doing it. Your points were true before 2014. Almost every Indian knows how much influence bjp has over courts. Just go to reddit and see how many indians want the word secular removed from our constitution. You are straight up living in delusion. Take off your nostalgia glasses and step foot in 2024.
Do you only count victims if they are Hindu?
Cow vigilantism
This incident alone has more minority deaths than in the last 20 years in Bangladesh
Incident from a few minths ago equals Bangladeshi hindu deaths in 3 years. 2 months ago
Supreme court
BBC
Rapists getting garlanded after release from jail
Very secular indeed
Beating a kid for drinking water in a temple. This guy "Narasinghanand Saraswatiis" already released from jail and has been making hate videos constantly without any repercussions. He also has a camp where they teach youth to shoot and fight. Their opponents are 12 year old kids.
Let's not forget why your PM is so loved in the first place. 800 is crazy
All of this is just the tip of the iceberg. Dalits have way worse treatment in India. Where will dalits go when India keeps hate criming them? It's ironic how India oppresses dalits whether they are hindu/muslim or Christian and some of you act so delusional. India is moving towards an authoritarian fascist rule. The electoral commissioner assignment will make sure of that. I would agree with you if your arguments used "was" when referencing India instead of "is" because it's no longer the reality.
I don't know what you are even arguing. My point is India is democratic and secular despite being flawed. Do you not agree with that? If you don't agree with that, why are you worried about the word "secular" being removed? How does it matter anyway?
Your incident counting means nothing - India has 1.4B people. Obviously you can find more cases LMAO.
My point is India is democratic and secular - and that's an achievement in South Asia (that's why compared to Pakistan). And that has made it more developed. So democracy and secularism are good ideals to fight for.
If India is not better off than Pakistan and Bangladesh, might as well let BJP make it non secular like them? Why bother fighting it?
Yeah you are the type of people I was describing.
Never said anything about pakistan, but you are the type of guy to celebrate for getting a participation lol. Also what is this doomer logic. It doesn't make any sense.
Weren't you describing how much better India is compared to these countries? These numbers are abnormally large and if you think pakistan and bangladesh are not densely populated, I have news for you.
I'm ending the conversation here. There's no point arguing with a nationalist that thinks his country has/can do no wrong.
You are doing the opposite rn btw.
Peak Nationalism
13 lakh hindu immigrants from Bangladesh that aren't facing any persecution are allowed. Not my words, your supreme leader said it himself.
Except the genocide, lynching etc. am I right? LMAO
Are we in 1971? The recent incidents were addressed by police and perpetrators were punished which may sound alien to a lot of Indians. It's ironic cause India has no right to talk about saving minorities. Lmao.
Right, so went from "no persecution" to "police addressed it". Cool cool. Can you point me to perpetrators of the genocide being punished?
Read the full article you linked yourself.
Yeah it's not like BJP's rise can be attributed to pakistan's 'cut India by thousand pieces' strategy since the 80s.

Fuckers have been too obsessed with bringing down India than improving their own shitty country.
