India bars protests that support the Palestinians. Analysts say a pro-Israel shift helps at home
The accompanying picture will help explain why, two wannabe fascist dictators side by side with democracy in their way. Just for perspective, my first Indian passport was not valid for travel to Israel. Always thought that was odd and was perhaps because India needed to keep the Arabs appeased due to the large number of Indians guest working in Gulf countries.
Have we come a long way or what? The headline is misleading since the ban is only for majority Muslim Kashmir, always a tinderbox.
Quote:
SRINAGAR, India (AP) — From Western capitals to Muslim states, protest rallies over the Israel-Hamas war have made headlines. But one place known for its vocal pro-Palestinian stance has been conspicuously quiet: Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Indian authorities have barred any solidarity protest in Muslim-majority Kashmir and asked Muslim preachers not to mention the conflict in their sermons, residents and religious leaders told The Associated Press.
