They are many.

"Pakistan has, for the third time in a row topped the list of countries at the highest risk of experiencing mass killings, as per an assessment by the US think-tank 'Early Warning Project' (EWP)." Times Now. Afghanistan and India were placed at seventh and eighth spots respectively. "Interestingly, India was placed ahead of Syria, Iraq, China and Iran on the list of countries at the highest risk of experiencing mass killings." This would be laughable if it wasn't so asinine and so obviously blind. In the US, "There have been at least 607 mass shootings through November 22 this year." CNN. This is less than 690 mass shootings in the same period last year. "In 2022, so far, at least 3,179 people have been shot in mass shootings, resulting in 637 deaths and more than 2,500 people injured." A clear example of 'When you point a finger at someone else, there are three pointing back at you'. Pinterest. However, even if this report seems completely inaccurate we should remember that the US and other 'white nations' hunt as a pack of hyenas. As we can see from the outrageous $60 price cap on Russian oil. BBC. That, this is a brazen attempt at plundering Russia's resource does not bother them at all. The G7 is an unofficial group of white nations, comprised of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the UK and the USA. wikipedia. Officials of the European Union (EU), a collection of 27 countries with predominantly white populations, attend G7 meetings. Then there is NATO, an armed grouping of 30 white nations (except Turkiye) led by the US, which indiscriminately attacks smaller nations which have somehow displeased the US or Europe. That is why we should not ignore US displeasure. Last year, the US-based "Freedom House downgraded India from a free democracy to a 'partially free democracy'", while the Sweden-base V-Dem Institute described India as 'electoral autocracy' and The Economist Intelligence Unit labeled India a 'flawed democracy'. BBC. In 2020, 53 people, of which two-thirds were Muslims, were killed during riots in North East Delhi, wikipedia. Also in 2020, right-wing goons, armed with rods, sticks and acid attacked students of Jawaharlal Nehru University in Delhi, injuring at least 39. wikipedia. In August, "11 men who were convicted for the gangrape of a pregnant Muslim woman, and murder of 14 members of her family, including her three-year-old daughter in 2002," were released after serving just 14 years in prison. BBC. Why is the BBC bothered about a crime that took place over 20 years back? Because, they were released on Independence Day and were greeted with garlands and sweets. Disgusting. Government controlled investigation agencies, the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Enforcement Directorate (ED) and the National Investigation Agency (NIA) are used to silence any opposition or criticism. The Wire. Fact-checkers, who highlight misinformation online, are routinely harassed and attacked. rfi.fr. India has the highest number of internet shutdowns. A government which condones violent crimes against its own citizens and then uses muscle to gag any protest is suspect in Western eyes. India is one and they are many. We better beware.
