  1. Hypocrisy, the standard counter-argument to any criticism towards India. But tell me, is there an admission there, and you think your vague whataboutism constitutes a mitigating factor?

  2.  @artman12  It is whataboutism. And the hypocrisy remains entirely unproven. In fact, I provided a compelling counter-argument why it's not applicable: India performs poorly in the World Press Freedom Index. Europe, while a mixed bag, does much better on average.

  3.  @SurajMandal-lj6hc  We don't have to tolerate willful dissemination of disinformation. You may want to take a gander at the World Press Freedom Index. India trails Europe by half a world. Most embarrassingly, India beats Russia only by a few places -- Russia, where mentioning the "war" lands you in prison.
