Indians 4 Trump always baffled me. I suspect they’re largely red pilled Hindu nationalists that think this new wave of fascism includes them. I guess it really boils down to the enemy (Trump) of their enemy (Muslims) are their friend.

I think people from all stripes, especially those from more conservative cultures, are simply attracted to the performative hyper-masculinity Trump and his rhetoric put off. "Get shit done, beat your enemies senseless, feel no remorse for being great" resonates.
Yea, you’re right. It just reminds me of Japan’s relationship with Germany in WWII who considered them “honorary aryans” which was an arbitrary titled that could easily be rescinded, and rooted in Nazi Germany’s superior race ideology.
I'm pretty sure I read something from like 2015-2017 that was going over how someone in Trump's orbit described Indian-Americans as the most MAGA compatible minority group because of India's long history with Casteism.
Yea, and apparently corporatism is a perfect vessel for casteism as well. There have been reports of casteism in American corporate offices. If you violate the caste customs, you get fired, so there’s incentive to uphold both casteism and corporatism.
Indian lawmakers demonstrated outside parliament on Thursday, some wearing shackles and others mocking the much-touted friendship between Trump and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Elsewhere in New Delhi, members of the youth wing of India’s main opposition party burned an effigy of Trump.
Outrage without action is irrelevant.
I was on a flight out of the UK once where someone was being deported - to India, I think. He was shouting at swearing, especially at families with children, and making life as difficult as possible. Apparently he'd been taken off two flights before for this behaviour, and figured it'd keep working for him. This time he had a retinue of some private security company to see him to the other end, some five or six big guys I think. I think in the end they sedated him.
So what you're trying to say is that that single guy justifies any of this? Or are you trying to say that all Indian citizens behave like that guy?
What ARE you trying to say here?
Neither. I'm sharing an experience loosely related to the issue at hand. The point, if any, might be to give some context to why deportees might be handcuffed in some situations.
Do you think, if I splash droplets of water on the flames of your fury, that means I agree with what happened?
