When you publish such a report, you are publishing it for the whole world. Either you must be crooked like the U.S to adjust the ratings as per your preferences or you could end up unnecessarily inviting hostility from other friendly countries.Kanoji wrote: ↑17 Mar 2026 08:30Sir,uddu wrote: ↑16 Mar 2026 22:39
These are all silly games games by the U.S. These index duffers are paid to do these kind of games for narrative setting. I don't think the U.S administration is that dumb to act on such reports. If they act, just state Modi is RSS and expel their Diplomat for disrespecting the Indian PM.
To an informed person like you it might seem like silly games. Please look at it from the perspective of the average American whose world view does not go beyond the county he lives in.
Releasing such a report from the GOI will collate abuses happening in the US and give a platform for its dissemination to the larger world out there. It will at least make a start in countering the narrative being set by the US to harm India. Moreover it will also counter the various leftists and others in India who quote such reports to discredit India.
It might not make an immediate impact - but in this day and age of social media it will have an impact - and send out the message that you have set your own house in order before you point fingers at others, in this case India. Without a counter from us the narrative set by organizations in the US become the dominant narrative - even if they are factually incorrect. Over time it will used like how the report of WMD in every backyard in Iraq was used to invade and destroy the country.
To counter the U.S till now we are just calling these reports thrash. Also Indian media can counter these and call them out.
But if the Govt want to respond, they can. They can collate all the reports of hate crimes in the U.S and do a press conference calling it out and giving them a rating based on the same rating as the U.S agencies in front of the press and make it a report specifically tailored to the U.S every month.
Even it need not be a press conference just for this. On any questions from Journalists, the spokesperson can pull up a list of hate crimes for the last year in the U.S and list out everything in public for the next half an hour to an hour. The attack on Hindu temples in the U.S will be a dozen. Their support to repressive regimes like the Yunus govt could be other..the list goes on and on. Then hand over the list to all the journalists to publish. We are not playing psyops for reasons unknown to me. Either we are so bad at it or too Gandhian or may be we are so good that U.S will never recover from it and we don't want U.S gone too soon.
