    Before anyone who freaks out without reading the article, no, they’re not removing citizen status for Muslims already in India. They are however making it a lot easier for every religion except Islam to come to India and get nationality

      It’s been a while since I’ve read about this but my understanding is that many people in rural areas will lack the documentation showing that they’ve always lived in India and have citizenship. Basically, this would let the government then start questioning people’s citizenship and effectively pretend that many rural Muslims are illegal immigrants while allowing Hindus without documentation to be unaffected.

      religious fervor.
      Modi takes his orders from Stephen Harper a wannabe autocrat who runs a shadowy organizations pushing the far right across the democratic world.

      It’s why Pierre Poilievre doesn’t say anything bad about Modi and India, because they are both in Harper’s org.

        This is laughable.

        Yah, the former PM of a country 1/50th of the size of India is giving Modi orders.

        What a load of lunacy.

            As yes, a news article saying “successful conservative abroad is seen as a model by Canadian conservatives” absolutely backs up the totally sane theory of an ex-Canadian PM running a network of authoritarians across some of the worlds most influential countries.

              “Fascist” is a more apt term for Modi than “successful conservative”.

                Maybe so. Still doesn’t change the fact that the parent is claiming a bizarre “Stephen Harper runs a global network of right wing world leaders” conspiracy theory and backing it up with an article that says nothing of the sort.

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (perjorative, perjorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (perjorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect!

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
