Fourteen bullets fired at a home near Victoria. An Edmonton building torched by arsonists carrying a red jerrycan. A 39-year-old found dead in a Winnipeg duplex

The crimes are among several across Canada that were allegedly part of an Indian government campaign against activists and opponents of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

India has 400 million enslaved Dalits upholding its economy. Married women can be raped by their husbands all day every day with no consequences. Religious violence against muslims is being supported by their government. I WANT strained relations with Modi's India.

Edit: sorry, that's 166 million Dalit slaves, my mistake.

India has 400 million enslaved Dalits upholding its economy.

What? Approximately fourth of Indian population is slaves? Got any sources to back it up?

Married women can be raped by their husbands all day every day with no consequences.

There's controversy about marital rape (a separate law specifically for it) going on and that is unfortunate. My country can do a lot more about law and order. But this is baseless claim. No consequences? Women can still file a complaint under domestic violence. And only women can file such complaint (IPC section 498A).

Please use any search engine before saying nonsense.

Sorry, you're correct, it's only 166 million Dalits slaves upholding the economy. If they were their own country it'd be the 9th largest in the world. It's one of the biggest human rights crises on the planet but because those atrocities make the right people rich we never hear about it.

Again, what's source on this number? Most places I've looked at gave me less than 10% of what you've quoted. And while 16 million is an unfortunately high number, India is the most populated country. Adjusted for population, Saudi and Turkey are way above India.
