But I’m not sure if France is with India. Here is a piece from French newspaper Le Monde, talking about the importance of freedom of expression in the wake of Samuel Paty’s beheading: https://www.lemonde.fr/idees/article/2020/10/21/une-deroutante-cecite-americaine-face-au-phenomene-du-djihadisme-dans-l-hexagone_6056765_3232.html (1/21) https://twitter.com/arunpudur/status/1320298997261561856
But here is a list of articles from the same newspaper when it comes to the situation in India:

5. “Since Indira Gandhi there has never been such a personalization of power” (speaking of Modi and Amit Shah) https://www.lemonde.fr/international/article/2019/04/19/christophe-jaffrelot-depuis-indira-gandhi-il-n-y-a-jamais-eu-une-telle-personnalisation-du-pouvoir_5452543_3210.html (6/21)

I have given only twelve, but the list goes on and on. In fact, if you type in “Hindutva” in the search function of lemonde, you get FIFTY-EIGHT articles, of which the links I shared is just a small sample. (14/21)
Just like Samuel Paty, Kamlesh Tiwari was murdered for blaspheming against the profit, in October 2019, almost exactly a year before Paty’s beheading But if you go to the Le Monde site and put in Kamlesh Tiwari in the search field, this is what you get: (15/21)
Aucun résultat n'a été trouvé = No results were found. (16/21)
Kamlesh Tiwari is just one example – there are countless other Hindus that are victims of jihad – but none find their way into the Western media, American or European. (17/21)
You may think it is out of ignorance that the Western media does this, and that after the Paty incident they will change their ways. Well, they won’t. It’s been a war to destroy Hinduism ever since (18/21)
Francis Xavier set foot in India, and don’t expect the recent happenings in France to change anything. Violence against Hindus will continue being brushed off, or will be portrayed as violence by Hindus. (19/21)
For context, see this article from Sankrant: https://sankrant.org/2014/04/dead-peoples-tell-no-tales/ (20/21)
And see this snapshots from Invading the Sacred: (21/21)
