India Is Shooting Itself in the Foot in Kashmir
The costs to the country’s image overseas are higher than government boosters want to believe.

As each week goes by, India’s crackdown on Kashmir deepens. Not content with cutting phone lines and the internet, detaining top political leaders and imposing a curfew which has now lasted three weeks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government has reportedly imprisoned thousands of Kashmiris, including businessmen and students as well as human-rights activists.
This suppression of an ethnic-religious minority has met with mass acclaim in India. One has to go as far back as Serbia under Slobodan Milosevic to recall a similarly ecstatic upsurge of vengeful nationalism.

The Bloomberg article continues:
Modi himself has suffered new damage to a reputation that he had diligently washed free of the taint of suspected complicity in a 2002 anti-Muslim pogrom. Ascending to power in 2014, he managed to persuade many in the West that he was focused on making India's economy grow and creating jobs rather than stoking Hindu majoritarianism. Modi’s image as an economic modernizer suffered greatly from his decision to withdraw most currency notes from circulation in 2016. Post-Kashmir, it has become even harder to maintain.
Amid bleak news about the economy, overseas investors were pulling funds out of India before Modi launched his crackdown in Kashmir. The bigotry on display in India's public sphere might lead more of them to wonder if they should still take for granted the country's social cohesion, and the political and economic rationality of its leaders.
In the West, India long ago lost the prestige it had enjoyed through its association with world-historical figures such as Mahatma Gandhi, and its moral leadership of the non-western world in the decades following independence in 1947. The more recent narrative about India -- that it is a distinguished multicultural democracy and economic powerhouse -- is now also up for debate. This squandering of soft power cannot but have deep consequences for an aspiring global force that is very far from matching China’s hard power.
In many ways, the repression of Kashmiris is a more egregious act of self-harm than demonetization. The longer it goes on, the greater the suspicion will grow that, having failed in his central tasks, India’s pied-piper is running blind, in danger of leading his nation to a dead-end.

Here is one of the reasons why Pakistan's voice of concern about the sufferings of Kashmiris locked down under henious Indian Occupation is increasingly resonating around the world and specially more so in the US and western media.
Whoever is helping Pakistan with US PR has managed to successfully place an op-ed by the ambassador in the Post and an op-ed by the PM in the Times in the month of August:

The American extreme left with people like AOC Omar et al and the leftist press take pleasure in comparing Trump to Hitler. It backfires EVERYTIME. Trump is just getting more popular and CNN just keeps hemorrhaging audience!
And now comparing Modi simply makes the world more sympathetic to him because the public relations and 'press planting' lobbying by Pakistan has been explicit. They are just not considered credible. Remember, however unfair you may feel it is, when people read about Pakistan trying to fight off FATF black list, they (people outside of Pakistan) think 'terrorist funding' whereas from what I have read in Pakistani news websites, they just make it sound like a financial/monetary/fiscal thing like interest rates movement.
If there is an issue, making the case on the issue is sane but turning it into a simple personal attack on somebody who has become one of the most popular world leader in a short time is simply fighting a futile battle.
Wanted to add one more point: when people in the west see Hitler, they think of holocaust, and the jews. OTOH they see the state of Israel and Netanyahu singing praises of Modi; The self appointed 'king of Israel' Trump is seen to be courting Modi too. That contradiction further erodes this sort of personal attackers

A reminder from some years ago as to WHO IS THE BUTCHER OF GUJRAT Narindra Modi, who was banned from entry into USA until he was all but elected PM of India and US decided that its interests in India warrant a convenient overlook of Modi's Butchery and extremist views:
Again, Modi is Nazi Supremacist Hitler's modern day Hindutwa Extremist Equivalent. No amount of economic interests of any number of countries of the world matter but the truth. make no mistake about it. Period.

Let Kashmir Speak
Nearly 8 million people in Kashmir have been living through a communication shut down since August 5. The world needs to know what’s happening. Take action and demand that the government let Kashmir speak.
Imagine a world where you can’t call home. You pick up your phone to call your family to let them know that you are safe or that you are in danger and need help. But your phone doesn’t work – you are stranded.
Right now, there are nearly 8 million people living in Kashmir who, since August 5, have been living through a telecommunications blackout. The government of India is restricting freedoms by shutting down their ability to communicate with each other and the rest of the world, and by imposing curfews or curfew like situations preventing people from leaving their homes.
At a time when reports have been pouring in about raids, arrests, clashes and detentions, communications shut downs not only leave people stranded and add panic and unrest, they also effect the ability of doctors and humanitarian workers to carry out their work effectively. The world can only speculate on what grave human rights violations might be taking place right now in Kashmir.
The government of India has almost total control over what information is coming out of the region. There have been reports of political leaders being detained or are being kept under house arrest. Access to emergency services, education and health care is being affected.
The Indian government needs to put humanity first and let the people of Kashmir speak. Sign the petition now and demand that the Governor of Jammu and Kashmir lift the communications blackout
To Mr. Satya Pal Malik, Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, India:
- Lift the blackout of communications in Jammu and Kashmir and let the voices of the people of Kashmir be heard
- Allow unconditional and unconstrained access to news and information from the valley
