[The New York Times] India’s ruling Hindu nationalists are scapegoating the Hindi film industry to distract the country from Narendra Modi’s failure to control the pandemic.

Indian living in the US here with my two cents:

The New York Times has a lot of balls calling out other counties for religious nationalism while the US is literally peddling Christian nationalism within its own borders. Not denying Hindu nationalism isn't a problem in India. It definitely is, and a concerning one at that. But this is just one of the types of meddling in international affairs I absolutely despise from America. I hope to see an India that is self-reflective on its own accord and doesn't pander to western media reporting because it's never done in good faith, but more importantly, because America is not a suitable example of how to deal with religious nationalism. This is equivalent to your alcoholic neighbor lecturing you about why you should cut down on drinking.
