Overseas Indians express growing unease over the prospect of a third term for Narendra Modi, citing concerns about the direction of his government.
According to a report in The New York Times, Indians living abroad are voicing their apprehensions about the trajectory of Modi's leadership. Many are troubled by what they perceive as a rise in extremism and a crackdown on dissent under his administration.
"We're witnessing mountains of oppression and violence against minorities, particularly Muslims, during Modi's tenure," remarked a representative of the overseas Indian community.

Key concerns revolve around the marginalization of religious minorities, alleged atrocities against Sikh leaders, and the imprisonment of political dissenters. Overseas Indians fear that independent institutions have been weakened, posing a threat to democratic norms.
"Modi's government has stifled dissent and imprisoned opposition figures, eroding the pillars of democracy," emphasized members of the Indian diaspora.
The apprehension among Indians living abroad reflects a broader sentiment of rejection toward the Modi government. As the possibility of another term looms, overseas Indians are expressing their reservations about the future direction of India under Modi's leadership.
