For those who may not have been following the Jaffrelot Christophe saga, a permanent pox in this world who is profoundly Hinduphobic and pro peaceful. He criticises the freedom of expression in India and at the same time has refused to release the recording of the incident below, read all

debate, the footage of which Sciences Po has been withholding from the public domain.
I was wondering what it was about Sanjeev's content that irked them so much and prevented them from releasing the video. So I decided to find out.
Apparently, there was one argument that Sanjeev made during the debate which seems to have rubbed some people, especially Jaffrelot, the wrong way. Note that this was a debate about the recent efforts to rewrite history in India. Essentially, Sanjeev conducted a little thought experiment. He reminded his audience of France's Vichy regime, an independent French government that the Nazi occupiers had propped up to rule France in their stead. Sanjeev asked his audience to imagine if the Vichy regime had lasted for a few decades, and had rewritten French history with the intention of establishing their own legitimacy. Then he told his audience that this is pretty much what happened in India - the brutal occupiers propped up an independent Indian government of collaborators, which went on to last for decades and peddled its own version of Indian history.
The audience was stunned with this analogy, because it completely destroyed the way the entire debate had been framed. Most of them realised that the recent efforts to rewrite history were in fact a course correction.
There are many reasons why this might have irked Jaffrelot and his ilk. For one, Jaffrelot and his ilk have made careers perpetuating the collaborator version of Indian history. What good are institutions like Sciences Po if they cannot even serve as a platform for Western narratives about former Western colonies? But is there more than what meets the eye here? Perhaps something about the Vichy regime that made some people in the room very uncomfortable? We'll find out soon."

Re: Global Media Watch
^^ Yes. The reason for hatred of Indians by Whites is religious ("those beastly heathens with beastly religion"). This cannot be cured as long as they remain indoctrinated by the Abrahamic cult, with hatred of non-believers at its core. These are juvenile, mentally stunted people following a juvenile religion based on blind belief and indoctrination into a fairy tale that cannot be proven by anyone. It stays in circulation because they catch their kids young (when they cannot think for themselves) and indoctrinate them early. The moment we make a law that only those above 18 years old can be instructed about religion, just see the kind of belly laugh the Abrahamic cults get from adults when introduced to their "philosophy" for the first time. Their trick is to catch the kids early for indoctrination when they don't have the capacity to think. That is how they perpetuate themselves.

Re: Global Media Watch
A lot of it is due to religious indoctrination. Also explains the fear and loathing especially reserved for communism.
The issue will be how can a heathen culture flourish, much as post Bolshevik Russia or more recently China? This is deeply subversive to a certain set of gods, it undermines their authority and convenants.
Again, Japan’s history of xenophobia can be illuminating. I expect to see a renouncing of cults by Indian converts. Just as I expect to witness a wholesale adoption of more subtle forms of heathery.

The staff of The Washington Post was a finalist in the International Reporting category for “Rising India, Toxic Tech,” its series uncovering Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Hindu nationalist allies’ vast, often covert, effort to use technology to advance their political objectives. The Post’s reporting also revealed how major American technology companies, including Facebook and X, have increasingly bent to the Indian government’s orders to censor materials on their platforms.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi is criss-crossing India in a marathon election campaign but, for the first time since 1996, his Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is not contesting in Kashmir, where a 35-year uprising against Indian rule has killed tens of thousands of people.
...
...
Analysts and opposition parties say the BJP decided to skip contesting the election because the outcome is likely to contradict Modi's narrative of a peaceful, more integrated Kashmir since he removed the region's semi-autonomous status in 2019 and brought it under New Delhi's control.

The funding for this org you ask? Only the purveyors of human protection and goodnessAdani Group passed off low-quality coal as far more expensive cleaner fuel in transactions with an Indian state power utility, according to evidence seen by the Financial Times that throws new light on allegations of a long-running coal scam.
The documents, secured by the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project (OCCRP) and reviewed by the FT, add a potential environmental dimension to accusations of corruption associated with the Indian conglomerate. They suggest that Adani may have fraudulently obtained bumper profits at the expense of air quality, since using low-grade coal for power means burning more of the fuel.
OCCRP is supported by grants by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the International Center for Journalists (ICFJ), the United States Department of State, the Swiss Confederation, Google Ideas, Open Society Foundations (OSF)[108] and the Knight Foundation.

Re: Global Media Watch
All entities irrespective of who is in power at the time must obey the law of the land, but these laws are indian laws and the entities are answerable to indian institutions, is my point; as matters stand, the opposition class, including the political, intellectual, and manual (xitter warriors), will pick any and all trash by western rags, raise the noise to high heavens, speak in the parliament, force statements from the entity in question, the Indian institution responsible for oversight and mayhaps the GoI itself, in a very roundabout way, we are all answerable to the good offices of John Reed, the desk reporter stationed at New Delhi.
If tomorrow, John has a fever dream and publishes that the adani group is responsible for holding underground dogfights while Chinese children go hungry, will we repeat the above process?

Prosecutors said the charges applied to a subgroup of Letzte Generation, a Germany-wide campaign that has led to thousands of arrests in the past two years.
“There is sufficient suspicion that the five accused agreed with other members of this subgroup to commit crimes together over a long period of time,” they said. “The association of people was not only intended to last for a longer period of time, but also served to pursue an overarching common interest.”
The activists say all their protests were open, accountable and non-violent, and contested the use of such a draconian law against them.
“This is the first time in German history that a climate protest group that uses measures of peaceful civil disobedience is charged as a criminal organisation,” Herrman said.
“This charge is especially dangerous for democracy and the right to peaceful protest because the charge turns the constitutional right of protest, freedom of speech and political assembly into a crime simply because some laws were broken in course of civil disobedient protest.
Fortunately the Guardian did not edotorialise on the death of democracy in Germany- unlike in India where democracy daily dies a thousand deaths.

'The Economist cr*p
www.economist.com/asia/2024/05/27/is-am ... -easy-rideBarring a huge political upset, Narendra Modi looks likely to begin a third term as India’s prime minister soon after June 4th, when the results of the general election will be announced. But the poll has not been pretty: on March 21st Arvind Kejriwal, an opposition leader who is Delhi’s chief minister, was arrested on corruption charges that he calls a political sham. Mr Modi, seemingly unnerved by the low turnout, has ramped up inflammatory rhetoric towards India’s Muslim minority while on the campaign trail. Although voting itself has been generally unproblematic, most Western officials agree that Mr Modi has tilted the political pitch significantly by suppressing dissent and weakening democratic institutions. How should they deal with Mr Modi, particularly if his Bharatiya Janata Party (bjp) is emboldened by a large mandate?
