From what I’ve observed, many accounts which were critiqued to the current Modi govt have been withheld in the country. Accounts of farmer leaders were also suspended amid the ongoing farmers protest in the country. It’s worth noting that India will see the general elections this year around May.

    Fucking despicable.

    And if you think this is a just India thing, that Twitter is not trying to tip the scales toward fascists in your country’s elections, you should think again. This is important to consider wherever you are.

    India has fascist leadership and a millions of nationalists brigading criticism online. Those they can’t shun with countless lies and bullying are silenced with the help of big tech. The subcontinent should never have become a single country.

    The colonized states basically organized as one as a protest of the british colonialism. And the first thing they did was start a religious war among themselves. They were always trying to be a religious fascist state. And they made two of them after the partition.

      They got divided? India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar. Being together isnt the issue, thats our one of the biggest strength that we made a nation with people who had very much different cultures. This time, nationalists are using emotions of depressed, poor peoples to get votes and do their thing, time will come and people will become aware.
