Philia is the mirror image of phobia.

"Prime Minister Narendra Modi remained the most popular global leader leader with an approval rating of 71%, according to a survey undertaken by US consulting firm Morning Consult," TOI. President of Mexico Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador was a distant second with 66%. Apparently, other leaders are jealous. "Just days ago, the effective mouthpiece of the British establishment the Financial Times, abused Prime Minister Narendra Modi as a fascist, by using a well-known hack, the son of a former Lord Chamberlain to the Queen," wrote Gautam Sen. 'Hack' is an unflattering British word for a journalist. Why the anger? Sen thinks that most Indian commentators fail "to apprehend the political context of the passage of the infamous  Islamophobia Bill in the US Congress". In December, "The US House of Representatives voted...to approve a Democratic proposal for a US State Department office to address 'anti-Muslim bias' worldwide," TOI. "Republicans, on the other hand, denounced the bill, calling it rushed and partisan, and voted against it." "Disappointingly, the Bill received the backing of the entire Democrat Jewish caucus and was later applauded by the White House and it now only remains to be passed by the US Senate, which is evenly split between the political parties and the outcome will be decided by the casting of US Vice President Kamala Harris, notorious for anti-India prejudices." India is larger than Modi. In 2019, "The US Congress overwhelmingly passed a bill seeking a tough response from the Trump Administration over reports of mass detention centers in China's Muslim-majority Xinjiang province, prompting Beijing, to threaten possible retaliation," ET. In December 2021, "Members of the House voted 428-1 to pass the 'Uyghur Forced Labor Prevention Act," which requires corporations to prove 'with clear and convincing evidence' that any goods imported from the region were not made using forced labor," ET. On the other hand, in July 2021, "dozens of Muslim women in India found they have been put up for sale online", on 'Sulli Deals', "an app and website that had taken publicly available pictures of women and created profiles, describing the women as 'deals of the day'," BBC. In January, another app called 'Bulli Bai', an insulting term for Muslim women, shared photos of over 100 Muslim women for auction, BBC. Even the most ardent supporter of Modi should find this deeply offensive and shameful. Further, "An important legal action on caste discrimination has been launched by the California Department of Fair Employment and Fair Housing against an Indian entrepreneur in the Silicon Valley. It is shockingly being cited to widely denounce Hindu India's allegedly innate caste prejudices, though there is no evidence whatsoever to support the allegations in this particular legal action." Come on. "About 67% of Dalit respondents and 12% of Shudra respondents reported being treated unfairly at their American workplace because of caste," CNN. Sen maybe overestimating Modi's importance. Just embrace all Hindus, whatever the caste.
