Just for background: These actions are targeted against Chinese companies, in the continued battle by Indian government to fight against recent land grab near Himalayas by Chinese Army and long term economic war e.g., New Silk Road, Trade Deficit etc.

also india has one of the worlds largest muslim populations, and india is also the most populous democracy in the world.

most people forget that india has been one of the most vocal countries regarding the persecution of the chinese muslim population. more so than for example turkey, pakistan, saudi, even US and EU has not said much about the muslims being put into concentration camps.

i would say blocking apps and starting sanctions would be the logical steps to take. much better than waging war i would say.

So you are saying the current Indian goverment cares more about the wellbeing of Muslims in Xinjiang than Muslims in India?

(I don't want to diminish the awful things going on in Xinjiang, but I think giving the rest of what Modi does this would be more cynically down by the Indian government than you make it out to be.)

no im not saying that at all. i said what i said, you drew a simplistic conclusion based on what i said which fit your own narrative: "but I think giving the rest of what Modi does this would be more cynically down by the Indian government than you make it out to be."

not sure what any of that had to do with what i said, i was not trying to make out anything. i was simply stating that something that can be added to this perspective regarding OPs post, is that there are simultaneous forces at play. you do understand that two things can happen at the same time right? one does not negate another?

The Government pretty much caused this.

It'd have been awesome if that was the reason.

> against recent land grab near Himalayas by Chinese Army

This seems like a strange qualification considering the Line of Actual Control (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_Actual_Control) hasn't changed since 1959. Even after the war of 1962, the Chinese side withdrew back to the 1959 line of control. How does China execute a "land grab" while never crossing the line of control according to Modi?
