A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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 (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
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.

So pathetic from India - seeking to punish Canada for the fact that the Indian government murdered a Canadian in Canada, and Canada had the temerity to call them out for it.
What an absurd victim complex Modi has.
Typical conservative snowflake. How dare you say anything about me? Throwing people in prison for criticism is commonplace in India.
Unfortunately many of the Sikh people are being subject to genocide and not just locked up.
It's sadly not uncommon among Brahmins. "How can these people we literally enslaved for millennia DARE want to convert to a different religion? Why aren't they more grateful?"
"Canada and its growing reputation as a safe haven for terrorists, for extremists, and for organised crime. And I think that’s a country that needs to worry about its international reputation”
Never thought I'd read a statement like that from someone who was serious.
Indian with it's assassins and cult government...
Way to make everybody believe your government did actually murder somebody in Canada, Modi.
The Modi govt has surpassed its own stupidity . They've officially labeled Canada an international terrorist sanctuary — “a safe haven for terrorists, for extremists, and for organized crime,” in the words of the Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson. I've just posted on this zine
Sometime i think Modi studied from the same school where Xi Jinping and putin pass out.
Wow who would have thought, India is winning the North Korea speed run challenge.
Russia already won first place. But man, I was cheering for India for a while but this last year they are having me lose a substantial amount of goodwill towards them even after trying to find excuses. I hope they check themselves before its too late.
Its funny coz I think Modi thinks people are dying to visit India.🤣🤣 its like Taliban thinking Afghanistan is the most developed country in the world.🤣🤣🤣
India is that one country I can't imagine visiting as a tourist. I know there's plenty of beauty in the country and people, but I couldn't imagine enjoying myself as I step over human beings and try to ignore all the crippling poverty and social inequality.
Modi going full-bore with Kremlin tactics and methods emulating his pal, Putin.
He's destroying indias credibility on the world stage, this is really sad to see.
So, Modi is a fascist. India has egg on their face.
Had to read the comments to figure out how in the world CANADA was managing to piss people off.
We don't like foreign governments conducting assassinations of our citizens eh
Fair enough
Canada, now you lol
That's what India wants....
They want to stop the brain drain their country is experiencing. If they outright forbid their citizens from emigrating, then they're obviously the bad guys.
If they can make other countries stop Indians from immigrating, the. It Stokes the "us against the world" sentiment that far authoritarian goverments need to stay in power.
The absolute worst thing any country can do to India, is open up for refugees from there. People would be throwing out their Indian citizenship left and right
India seems to be one of their biggest sources of immigrants. Looks like they hoover up tech workers.
Likely works in Canada's favour to not do the same.
India is the world’s biggest source of immigrants.
It's got 1/8 (well 3/16) of the population. Not surprising.
Is India such a popular destination for Canadians ? I mean who is hurt more in this "he`s done it, so i pay back" game?
Something like 7% of Canada's population is South Asian. I don't know what percentage of that has Canadian citizenship and is specifically from India, but I'd guess there are a fair number of people who won't be able to visit family now. It's a shitty way to retaliate, but not unsurprising coming from Modi.
I've followed the headlines on this but I just don't get it.
India is pissed they were called out? They didn't consider a cranky Canadian outcome before hand? Or is Canada flinging wild accusations that are unjustified with the information at hand?
These diplomats need to chillax and go back to being diplomatic before legitimate Canadian expats in India and legitimate Indian expats in Canada start to feel the brunt of this.
There is strong evidence that hasn't been released but leaked sources claim one of the two killers(captured) have ties to Indian Intelligence the other being an Indian diplomat(uncaptured). This means it's a direct attack on a Canadian on Canadian soil by a foreign agent.
India is pissed because Canada harbored an alleged terrorist. Even though the terrorist in question was freed by the Indian government and was not wanted by Interpol.
The Indian government is currently genociding its Sikh population and calls anyone outspoken about these actions as terrorist.
This action of closing immigration from Canada is to get an equal reaction. India want to stop all of their skilled and intelligent people from leaving to Canada.
Canada seems to have pretty credible evidence for it. India seems to be doubling down in indignation rather than apologize or admit they did anything wrong.
Deny, shift the blame, try to victimize yourself and blame the actual victim.
It is standard narcissist playbook which is also standard authoritarian playbook.
The documentary "India's Daughter" enlightened me to the actual India.
