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.

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.
