If you think they started at zero, you weren't paying attention.

The UNSC is going to meet about Kashmir, and China is heavily on Pakistan's side. I'm honestly not sure anyone is going to side with India; I think even Trump remembers the tariffs India slapped against the US like, two months ago.

the US was the first to raise tariffs on India, when India was dropped from a list of preferred countries last June 5th

India was the one that retaliated with their own set of tariffs later that month

I mean, we are talking about a country that enacted compulsory sterilization for a few years, not that much of a reach for them to go down this road.

A generation far-enough removed that they didn't have drilled into them the horror of nuclear war, and (many) increasingly fascist government(s) with nukes, that wants to hold on to power at all costs.

outside of Kashmir, i read an article about how the Indian government is prepared to do a citizenship review of everyone in a state bordering with Bangladesh, i want to say it's in Assam. there's a bill in parliament that was stalled last year that would provide immunity to this census to Hindus, Christians, Buddhists, Jainists, and other religions. notably absent from that bill: Muslims. they may plan to revisit that bill very soon

other things in that article that stood out: Indian citizens are allowed to question the citizenships of others, so if this passes, expect a whole lot of ratting out. also, the government is building massive detention centers that will hold thousands of people in Assam. these centers can also be called something else

yeah, the article went over the fears there of illegal bangladeshi migrants coming in across the border, and that's why it's presumably the testing ground for doing this elsewhere

-MORE MONEY FOR US

-FUCK...YOU KNOW, THE THING

Assam is about 60% Hindu 30% Muslim. Some of the small neighboring states like Mizoram and Meghalaya actually do have Christian majorities, but these are tiny and generally sparsely populated states that also barely have any Muslims in them. No doubt Assam is the target because its Muslim minority is probably larger than the total population of all the other NE states put together. Also, much like Kashmir there is potential for fuckery on the NE frontier since most of those states (I think all of them except Assam?) have internal migration and development restrictions designed to stop the native populations from being easily out-populated by migrants from the major Indian states or -gasp- Bangladesh. Politicians in the region talk poo poo about illegal immigrants every so often and have historically ICE-raided limited numbers of Bangladeshis with great fanfare, especially around election times.

i read a few articles about the not-at-all ominous-sounding National Register of Citizens. the cut-off date for people who aren't considered illegal immigrants in Assam is March 24, 1971, the day before India went to war with Pakistan over Bangladesh. the burden of proof is on the individual to show that they're citizens, not the government, and given that many people in the state are illiterate and/or have a hard time going to the tribunal building that they have to go to (typically many kilometers away from remote villages), there's plenty of room to get screwed. Hindus have fewer hurdles to overcome than Muslims. recently, a family cut off a marriage because either the bride or groom, forgot which one, was not on the recent register of citizens

it's all terrible and the BJP government wants to expand it to areas with a high rate of "infiltration"
