The "India is racist against blacks" propaganda

Because of the Ukraine-Russia conflict and the anti-China propaganda by the West, there has been a surge in Chinese propaganda against India. The bulk of this propaganda is targeted against the African countries.<br><br>Please remember the following points when you come across such disinformation posts:<br><br>1\. **India is the only country to make the "diaspora" its President.** APJ Abdul Kalam Azad, who served as India's president from 2002 to 2007, was the grandson of a poor Muslim immigrant from Afghanistan.<br><br>2\. **India has the world's fourth-largest Muslim population.** 15% of the population practices Islam. They have held some of the most important positions in the country.<br><br>3\. **India is not racist.** India is probably the only country where people of European descent, especially British, Portuguese, and French, have held high-ranking positions in the government and have become billionaires, as well as celebrities. Do you remember the movie "Slumdog Millionaire"? The female lead, Freida Pinto, is a Goan Christian with Portuguese ancestry. Goans are often of Portuguese ancestry, yet they're considered Indian and a part of the country's diaspora.<br><br>4\. **The racist incident, which is being cited as evidence, is not of an Indian attacking an African but of a Nigerian attacking an Indian and being punished for it.** Now, the Africans should ask why the Nigerians attacked an Indian in the first place.<br><br>5\. **India and Africa have a very old, good relationship.** Several African heads of states have Indian ancestry. Mahatma Gandhi cut his teeth as a leader in South Africa, where Indians were also a major part of the population. The native resistance in South Africa against the British was also largely led by Indians. After India's independence in 1947, India's leadership often spoke against racism at the UN and supported the decolonization of Africa. Do you know who built the railways in East Africa? The Indians. Do you know who the major business owners in East and Central Africa are? Indians. Lastly, do you know who the key gold traders are in Africa? The Indians.<br><br>When an Indian goes to Africa, he is treated with hospitality. No one gives a shit about the color of the skin.<br><br>The Africans need to stop falling for this Chinese propaganda. Just like how the Chinese don't consider Indians as "brown" but as "pale," Africans need to start questioning who benefits from such propaganda.
