While I have no praise for the CCP, India's current government is not without its problems: https://foreignpolicy.com/2022/11/04/modi-india-personality-...
These newly acquired disputed territory is different than the old dispute of Kalapani. In that case India requested Nepal to grant India access to Kalapani to better monitor China's troop movement during the 1962 war with China because Kalapani is on a high ground. The problem is once India squatted on that land it never leave and is still squatting on Kalapani to this day.
I snorted at this:
"An earlier example is India’s creation of the Tamil Tigers which plunged Sri Lanka into many years of civil war."
That's like stating the US founded the Nazi party and ran the Schutzstaffel. Absolute rot.
Is there corruption in India, absolutely. Can you oppose the Indian government politically and still make hand over fist money, absolutely and in Indian South, East, North, West even in New Delhi itself.
Try getting a loan in China and being vocal critic of CCP. Indian democracy has different energy but when you consider transfer of power after election, it is a run fucking away success.
