HN should take down this post. The country has been heavily polarized into two sections (pro-bjp and against-bjp) with both the sections heavily incentivised by the "IT" deptt of respective political parties. Very few will talk about the actual issue and most of the comments will be rhetorical, only focusing on what they believe is right.

Yes, it was one of the worst flamewars I've ever seen on HN. What a wreck.

We've banned several accounts and will probably moderate more aggressively next time.

this post is from a reputed source, I see no reason why it should be taken down. As far as I am concerned, this is not a subjective thing, the crack down on Amnesty International in the country is not subject to individual opinions.

The Indian government is answerable to the people, Amnesty International is answerable to the government, the courts and perhaps its "donors".

There is a robust system for the former, not so much for the later. AI can complain all it wants but they are just bringing in more scrutiny into their activities.

So what is "right" as per your belief?
