The annual summit of the Group of 20 economies is the largest gathering of world leaders ever in New Delhi, with attendees including President Joe Biden, British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and others.
They will be greeted by some of the cleanest streets New Delhi has seen, ornamented by hundreds of thousands of lush flowers potted on freshly painted pavements. What they will not see are the hundreds of thousands of people who have been displaced, or the slums that have been flattened or obscured by temporary fences bearing the G20 summit’s logo and photos of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Modi’s government hopes the beautification project will help showcase the best of what the world’s most populous country has to offer, further cementing its position on the global stage.
Anything that might disrupt that effort is unwelcome.
As is the custom prior to all G20’s that have ever been held anywhere, bulldoze the homeless and get them out of the way, must make it looks spiffy don’t ya know
No one is speaking of stray dogs… They’ve been rounded up and dumped into a closed area with no proper food, water or shelter.
They’re removing everything that makes the country ‘look’ poor. And also making shit shittier in the process.
