Good post by Ben. But here's the answer to his question: Why are Indians suddenly being hated so much? Answer: They have been specifically targeted to be hated in every country by a psyop mainly run by Pakistan, now joined by some other adversaries of India. This is easily understood when you realize that an anti-immigration racist should equally hate Mexicans, Chinese, Filipinos, and Vietnamese too. But he hates Indians specifically. Not even Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, or Nepalis, whom he wouldn't be able to differentiate by any means. The keywords of "poop", "jeet", "pajeet", "sh1t", "sh1thole", "saar" etc., that even some native English-speaking racists are using now are vocabulary that was seeded by a massive Pakistani and Chinese bot operation over the last many years. This operation is being run around the world in many countries. The steps are as follows: > First seed the hate using fake accounts astroturfing as white American, Japanese, Chinese, Singaporean, etc. in respective countries > Make the racist discourse mainstream against Indians and India > Use highly derogatory and dehumanizing language and imagery to create disgust against Indians > Amplify any issue or crime from India or by Indians to build a narrative against Indians, even though such things happen all around the world > Spread hate among locals towards Indians and incite the local racists to start attacking Indians specifically > Make the racism organic and mainstream in society so that it attacks Indians, makes them lose jobs, hurts India's exports, inbound tourism, and many other things Unfortunately, the govt of India has been super apathetic to this real war against India and has failed to take any concrete steps or actions to address it. Small countries like Singapore immediately recognized it, acknowledged the foreign-seeded nature of it, and took some steps to ensure the racism against Indians and attacks on India online is controlled. But not India, for all its economic and diplomatic might. I haven't heard of a single embassy taking this up with a local government yet. Not heard a single politician in India talk about it yet. Even the media isn't talking that much about it. Hence the racism and hate against Indians continues. It is getting worse. And Indians are having to face real-world consequences including threats to their lives. Hope the govt of India, India's leaders, media all do their part in fighting this war imposed on India. This is as bad as cross border terrorism and foreign sponsored insurgency.
