China vs India: Dear global media, why so unfair?

Entire nations are on lockdown, countries have closed their borders, thousands of people have died and there is mayhem in stock markets. It seems India and Hindus have been victims of a targeted vilification campaign, tailor made by the global liberal establishment. In his now viral Youtube segment, American comedian John Oliver called Modi a “symbol of hate.” Strong words! In fact, he has not even used such language while speaking of the most authoritarian leaders in the world, such as Turkey’s Erdogan who denies the Armenian genocide. Take the case of Senator Bernie Sanders, who is among the top two contenders for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. His Pakistani-American campaign chief Faiz Shakir claims here that Sanders would call out any perceived injustice to minorities anywhere, whether by a Prime Minister in India, Israel or Pakistan. She was responding to a tweet describing the experience of a common person in the US, who was faced with hate speech from her Uber driver for being a Hindu. Even if you are a fiercely anti-Modi Indian liberal who uses words like “genocide” and “pogrom” to describe Delhi riots, surely you will agree that innocent Hindus should not face hate speech over it in the US. If someone with as much global outlook and vision can have such deep seated prejudices against India, think about the average BBC minion, trained in colonialism.
