In Russia ,North ,China you can ask people's opinion. All of them will reply "favourably". Majority of experts on authoritarian governments on the planet agree, Modi is an autocrat. Your personal feelings have nothing to do with it.

Why India’s Democracy Is Dying | Journal of Democracy
Under Narendra Modi, India is maintaining the trappings of democracy while it increasingly harasses the opposition, attacks minorities, and stifles dissent. It can still reverse course…

Dictatorship has nothing to do with approval ratings. Kim Jong Un has 100% "approval rating", Putin wins elections in "landslides". Modi has autocratic tendencies. You should read more...

To be a dictatorship there are certain conditions to be met. Neither India nor the US meet all those conditions yet. So till then Trump and Modi are wannabe dictators. For example, Kim Jong Un, Putin, Orban, Xi are dictators.

Both Pakistan and India are not to be trusted. Modi is a wannabe dictator and Pakistan was never actually a democracy, just military coups and dictators. WIth sprinkles of "elected" leaders. China wants to flex it's military with support to Pakistan and Trump regime is too stupid to sway anything.

It's the US, they will never elect a woman to lead the highest office. Especially a woman of colour. At least not in the next 50 years.

They'll likely start small. Like what the Dems proposed, common sense gun laws. And MAGA morons will cheer that too. It will take time to implement more restrictive rules, but it's acheivable. Just needs a larger time frame.

It won't hit them, until they come for the guns. Every dictator eventually comes after private ownership of weapons.

I think US has escalated the conflict enough over the past 7 decades, anything Trump says will just make it worse.

In fact, Churchill's views and policies either directly or indirectly have laid a foundation for the conflict between the India & Pakistan to this day.

This happened in 2017 and 2019 as well, when Trump was president. When India & Pakistan have exchanged airstrikes. Pompeo claimed Trump "stopped a nuclear war". When nothing of the sort really happened.

Did I ever mention supporting terrorits? Where exactly have I said that I supported terrorists? You're just making a strawman argument.

Probably. But Trump will side with whoever pays him. China will support Pakistan and Russia will likely side with India and the weapons companies will side with whichever country buys more weapons. With Trump's allegiance to Putin and trying to curry favour from China, he'll just bothside this.

Facts hurt sometimes. But you're clearly not objective. You don't defend someone just because he's the PM of India(I'm Indian). There's nuance. Complex problems don't have simple solutions.

India has been a nuclear power since the 70s & Pakistan in 1998. In the last 25 years there have been at least 3 major escalations. Everytime, people worried "nuclear war". Indian economy can't take a hit. Because using them would place India under severe sanctions, from all countries.

GDP is not the real economy. He's a wannabe dictator surfing on Hindu Nationalism fever. The same as Trump did for the Christian nationalism. Like all dictators and wannabe dictators, Modi lies. And India is a service economy, no real manufacturing like China does.

Trump will act on what personally benefits him. In this case if weapons companies give kick backs, Trump will sit back and relax while "condemning" the war. Whoever pays the more, gets the support. It's that simple.

This has been happening from the 50s when Mao occupied Aksai Chin. For the last 75 years, it's been a power struggle between China, US and Russia. Meanwhile lots of innocent lives are lost.

India won't be an economic superpower. Definitely not under Modi. Israel is under a genocidal government. If you are blaming all muslims for some nut killing tourists, then you are no different than the terrorists or Netanyahu.

Diplomatic support doesn't mean actual diplomats. Consider it more of an emotional support kind of thing. No country will explicity come out and support one country or the other.
