I'm not sure why education about FGM or wife burnings needs to be put in quotes.

Considering that the OP is arguing that the impetus for change will come externally, I don't see why it's weird to interpret the thread as Colonialism 2.0OwlBot 2000 posted:I'm not proposing any kind of invasion of India, just strong guidance from other countries on key issues backed by the threat of sanctions. Is that colonialism? Of course, but if it's in connection to women's rights issues, poverty reduction, or public health I'm all for it.

Tatum Girlparts posted:Do you believe outside NGOs are colonial powers? If you can't differentiate between an NGO holding educational classes on contraceptives and a foreign government imposing sanctions... Look at the can of worms that Jim Kim and the World Bank just opened by killing a bunch of loans to Uganda due to them not hewing the line on gay rights...

Actually the post I quoted explicitly stated sanctions so you're pretty much wrong.

Wife burnings and caste are egregious but where do you draw the line on what deserves foreign intervention? Women get paid $0.77 for every $1 that men get. Racism is still entrenched in vast swathes of the country with widespread attempts at disenfranchisement. Should we send foreign peacekeepers into the States and impose sanctions on US exports till this changes?

How about prison culture in the US? That poo poo is enough for UN peacekeepers I'd say.

Yup, the Economist, neoliberal paper of note, refused to endorse Modi due to his involvement in the anti Muslim pogrom. I'm not sure Western media has been that fawning of him.
