Unlike what the writer claims it was just not a tirade against the Indian PM, but also racist comments against Indians that raised hackles in India. Whether this was encouraged by someone high up in GOI or BJP is pure speculation with zero evidence. The writer also fails to take into account that the Maldivian minister’s rude comments were completely unprovoked and there was really no reason for them to do it. Very poorly written. No wonder MSM is no longer taken seriously.
So many words to make just half a point. Adding Jyoti Malhotra to my list of columists I’ll stop reading. The Print is taking it’s readers for granted. I am one more such article away from adding this site to my blocklist.
Shame on “The print” for even entertaining an article like this. Its one thing to be against the current ruling party. But its another level unpatriotic to publish an article supporting a country that is saying trash about your own country and its people. If defending our country and its people through social media is “vulgar” , then you have no right to live in this country. Oh wait, you probably arent even from India. Seems like a chinese puppet or a hinduphobic.
Happy to see comments have been restored. Wonderful memories.
The author seems to be intoxicated. Illusionaly assumptions that isn’t supported by anything. A fiction.
