Although BLM movement is a rightful movement to being about a change in police atrocities against people of a particular color in America.
In all honesty, it does not apply in context to people in India .
Now coming to the USA. Although the protest started on the right note, when politics enters into it, it becomes a place where it gets nasty and violent.
With the elections coming up, there are two sides battling for supremacy. While one wants the protests to continue so it benefits them in the elections. The other group wants it over so they can benefit from it.
Media houses are another thing who are fuelled with their own agenda and bias.
For eg CNN who until a few days ago were lamblasting everyone for reopening states and the mayor and gov of NY who asked police to jail anyone who was seen in a park have no issues now with thousands breaking social distancing norms.
CNN who were posting a picture of gloom now is encouraging people to come out and protest.
Covid 19 is still a Pandamic but now they don't care bcoz they found a new agenda for their ratings and propaganda.
The state governor's esp Democrats ruled states are conveniently shifting blame on president for their failure in governing their state from riots, loss of damage to businesses and property or their handling of covid in their states.
Another eg: the left wing media were projecting this narrative that hydroxychloroquine was a killer and that the president was giving wrong info , the WHO too played a part. But no one now mentions that 2 days back , there was a retraction from that very same study which now says Hydroxychloroquine is not the killer , WHO has resumed trials with hydroxy. But this news won't be highlighted as it goes against their narrative to "nail the president"
So there's always 2 sides to a story, there is a political battle going on underneath all these protests, Pandamic etc.
But what people see outside USA, is that of a movement which is getting out of hand. But there are deep rooted politics that's playing out here ahead of elections. The media houses too are playing a big role here with their bias and agenda based narrative.
That is why I believe this movement does not apply in context to India as there have been much more grave issues which has not been addressed by citizens esp celebs in India who are jumping the bandwagon now for 2 seconds of limelight.
