       | And PM Modi and Home Minister Shah are busy in election campaign
       | in Karnataka state. Dozens of tweets for Karnataka in last few
       | days, not a single mention of Manipur violence on PM's twitter
       | account. BJP is power in Manipur.

       | having more and more dire consequences for minorities in India.

       | Typically western media propaganda alert! It has nothing to do
       | with one tribe being Hindu and other being Christian.

         | Of course, all is well for government shills. Dismiss every
         | negative news as one of the following:
         | 
         | - Western propaganda - Anti India forces - Foreign hand -
         | Pakistan - Anti-nationals

           | mentioning the expected keywords in the title and sub title

           | narrative, is what the western media is master of. And I'm
           | not a government shill, and to be honest I think this issue
           | is 100% on the shoulders of the state government which is
           | BJP. And western media propaganda is also real.

         | it has anything to do with religions.

           | Good point. But mentioning the keyword Hindu Christian etc
           | etc. is a typically media nudging practice. See one of the
           | comment on this post. 1 successfully nudged.
