You keep ignoring "about to" in an attempt to paint the criticism as an outright lie. Also, you're pretending the Kashmir Lockdown never happened:

So the Indian government needed to block almost all communications into and out of Kashmir, block outside journalists, and start arresting citizens without charges in order to kill some terrorists?

Then there are the accusations of torture and excessive use of force which are hard to cooperate give the block on communication and outside observers.

Actually when he first became president, he was ridiculed and disliked in India for all the dumb stuff he says, but after the North Korea summit, many people started respecting him here because we were scared shitless for 3 months knowing our capital was in Kim Jong Un’s range, we’re dealing with two rival nuclear powers, we don’t need another one

There is nothing wrong with wanting at least one Hindu country where, in case Hindus are persecuted anywhere else, they know they have one place where they can be safe. That doesn’t mean kicking every non-Hindu out, again, Hindutva is like Hindu Zionism, but Americans seem to be okay with one and not the other for some reason

I don’t know what exactly happened, just saying many Indians started respecting him after that

The problem is we’re not well informed and rarely do research on our own, and just follow what the media says is true

I suppose that is a danger inherent in being a nuclear power yourself.

Exclusive: Trump's "Deep State" hit list

The Trump White House and its allies, over the past 18 months, assembled detailed lists of disloyal government officials to oust — and trusted pro-Trump people to replace them — according to more than a dozen sources familiar with the effort who spoke to Axios.
