  1. Aaaaannnddd..here we goagain!! as usual the "leftist" agenda pushed fwd by even in this video. Doesn't matter though!! Majority of Indians do not know john oliver ia and do not give rat's ass abput his opinion…

  2. You are too biased to be trusted. Why didn't you spell out both sides of the story. The destroyed mosque was built by destroying a temple that originally stood there. Very biased. For sure BJP is messed up, so is the opposition, so it's about the better evil.

  3. check your facts. When you willfully necgelct key/critical points, it makes your content sound propogandist. Agree to most of your points, but you should show complete facts. The temple that was build was after demolishing babri masjid. that Masjid was built by Babar(a mughal emperor) by demolishing an ancient temple(verifed by Archelogical survey of India in 2003, long before BJP was in power). This ancient temple was no ordinary temple, it was built on the birthplace of "Lord Ram". Over the past many centuries many temples have been demolished by Mughal Rulers, and Masjids have been built over it. Demolishing this temple is similar to demolishing Mecca/Medina & building another religious building over the ruins.

  4. There are happy times ahead when the foundation of the Support he gets is open hatred. Guess with which islamic state in the north they are in dispute for decades.. i expected that John would get to that point.

  5. Opposing Modi in India publicly, is a terrible nightmare…let alone I face the same in my house…say anything against Modi, and my dad would take it personally, as if he is in BJP.

  6. So many factual errors in the first five minutes its kind of hilarious. John Oliver when was the last time you fact checked your script or visited India for that matter. Still your fan because you are funny…for real.

  7. There is a documentary by Anand Patwardhan that talks about these issues in depth. The English title is Reason. The Hindi title is Vivek.

  8. Video 5: 23 "…In fact, on multiple fronts, India seems to be sliding towards authoritarianism …" Yeah, right. It is hard to overstate how unreliable, shallow, uninformed, and frankly idiotic and almost uniformly worse than useless Western media coverage about India is. Not even sure where to begin. To repeat, worse than useless, a few exceptions notwithstanding. Allow me to assure you that I realize that there is no anti-India bias or animus among your talking heads and "experts", as some nationalistic Indians aver. Speaking in your defense, I am sure that your coverage of of China or Japan or Nigeria is of probably (make that almost certainly) equally poor quality. Well-informed Indians pay no attention to the bilge that comes out of the West when it comes to either India or the rest of the world.

  9. India has become an extrenely nationalist in a very psychotic way country. Amount of hate majority of them post against Muslims and Pakistan all over social media on various platforms tells you where their society is headed. Absolutely shameful and shambolic which will likely end up it breaking into further pieces if they do not take control of their damaging nationalism. Minority want to coexist in peace there but have read and heard many horror stories of their treatment. Hopefully the sane voices their start taking control and they let go of their deep hatred before it gets too late. World is moving forward and peace and prosperity is the only way one can progress. Having hatred for another religion just because of islamophobia and their rulers ruled you many centuries ago and border issues is a horrible reason to hate fellow human being

  10. A lot of stuff here is quite biased and based on a false propaganda in the western press, supported by a section of Indian media. I am sure if John were to do more research, he will find the truth to be different.

  11. This video is propaganda. The modi is popular because he works.citing alzajeera and time to criticize modi is like citing NYT to criticize Russia. It is just propaganda.
