US officials kept around 100 deported Indian migrants in shackles for their 40-hour flight home, including during bathroom breaks, in the latest incident to spark anger overseas at President Donald Trump’s migration crackdown.
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.
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with Germany in WWII who considered them “honorary aryans” which was an arbitrary titled that could easily be rescinded, and rooted in Nazi Germany’s superior race ideology.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.
