The PM is keen to show India as the ‘mother of democracy’, but this is one of the most undemocratic periods in its history, says the journalist Rana Ayyub

      Why do you call posting news articles on news zines as spam?

        It is annoying seeing the exact same story appear in your feed 10 times.

          Is there a way to cross-post to different zines?

            Not that I know of, which is annoying.

            To be clear, it’s not your fault that discussion of news is spread across multiple magazines, but that doesn’t change the fact that many of us end up seeing the same story 10 times rather than having it posted on one single large magazine/community.

              If this was a frivolous issue, I’d be content with posting on one zine and calling it done. But this is an important topic and concerns the future of 1.4 billion people. It also concerns the erosion of democracy and the rise of fascism, all global issues,

              Every news zine has a different reach and audience. Some of the audience overlap, but most don’t. I can’t suggest that people stop subscribing to multiple zines, neither can I cross-post. So what other option do I have to posting on multiple zines?

                You don’t. It’s not your fault. You should be able to post it in multiple magazines/instances.

                It’s due to the nature of the fediverse that some of us get to see the same story multiple times.

            That’s not exactly fair either. OP isn’t breaking any rules by posting it on multiple instances.

            The problem is the fediverse not allowing crossposting and not having large coalesced magazines(?)/communities yet.

            Sure penalise me for the way the fediverse is structured.

        He is a megalomaniac fascist who is creating corporate monopolies and using Hindu supremacists to gain power.

          This is one of the very few times I would say “both sides” in this conflict are absolute garbage people with no place in modern society. The only other time I can think of is the Israel-Palestine kerfuffle.

            can you explain what you mean by “both sides” in this conflict?

                We should be careful about bothsidism. The Muslims who suffer racist violence in India are rarely violent cultists. They are everyday people trying to live their lives and look after their families. Just like us.

                  Given the brutalities, hatespeech, and religious persecution Indian Muslims and Indian Christians have been suffering quietly without support from either democratic developed countries or Islamic countries, India’s religious minorities are the most patient and secular communities in India.
