> Indian politicians being more likely to have criminal allegations against them is an easily verifiable claim.

Unlike America, India's court are more accessible to each and everyone. Cases are filed liberally in the political process - in some ways this is reminiscent of our freedom struggle where going to jail was considered a right of passage, and rightfully so.

If you use this to assert that Indian politicians are criminals, you are basically using means at your disposal to assert your prejudice.
