You do know your comment history is public, right? Your comments have been fairly clustered on one topic, and this isn't the only one you've largely copy-pasted. Now, I'm fairly open to the possibility that you are just someone who is not acquainted with the rules and has an interest in those subjects, but in general engaging in conversations about only one fairly political topic and making repetitive (read: low effort and easy to spam) makes your contributions seem very hard to distinguish from someone who is trying to wage ideological battle on the site.

I very much know my comment history is public.

Except for two comments, I'm replying to other people comments or adding more resources to my previous comments.

I'm a developer, I'm don't belong to BJP IT-cell, like the other guy is mentioning.

I have just seen that, my country is being depicted badly for wrong reasons, despite evidence against Amnesty.

As a citizen of this country, I felt responsible to educate and put forward, whatever I know.

I have started commenting from around 4:30PM IST, while traveling.

I didn't provide any sources for claims I have made previously, so I was indeed visiting each and every comment of my own and adding references, and replying to others.

Edit:

If you want proof, except for two comments, which I have copy pasted.

All other were responses to other comments.

I can share a screenshot, on telegram or gmail, my username is same across all platforms.

The "other guy" seems to have either deleted their comment or had it removed–for the better, as it wasn't particularly constructive. Again, I want to make it clear that I don't think you're some sort of political troll or shill; in fact I believe such accounts on Hacker News are fairly rare (and are banned quickly); most of the ones that might appear to be one are in fact just run by people who are passionate about a particular topic that they care about and unintentionally use them in ways that are against the guidelines and also very similar to how a troll would operate. I just wanted to let you know about it so you could get an opportunity to change your commenting style; perhaps expand into other topics and consider that the other commenters here are not out to "get" your country (many may live there themselves, or not have any reason to care about India specifically), but may be concerned about reports of authoritarianism around the world (which are by no means isolated–there's another post about ISPs interfering with HTTPS traffic on the front page right now). Additional information and insight is always welcome, but again, Hacker News is generally not very indulgent of sources it thinks are partisan or designed to stir up an emotional response for a particular side.

Again, this isn't anything personal against you or your viewpoint on this issue, nor am I any sort of authority on what is or is not acceptable on the site; I'm just pointing out that your comments have felt like they could be confused as to be coming from someone with much worse intentions and you likely do not want to be in that place.

Thanks a lot for your advice.

You are exactly right, I'm being emotional.

Once again Thank you.

You’re welcome :)

Earlier on I had agreed with your assessment that this is probably not a shill's account. But now I see a repetitive pattern in his comment history.

For example, this comment, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23039938 is copied again and again several time.

I don't know of any normal person that exhibits such behavior. You and I don't. Now I am leaning towards a shill after all, perhaps an unpaid one.

Please share those that are relevant to this case.
