#Saffronization is Hindu extremism. If we don't pay attention to it, expect terrorism and state-sponsored violence, mass migrations / religious "cleansings", and other violence and upheavals. This is the opposite of tolerance and pluralism.
India: this Muslim man was attacked by a mob of Modi supporting Hindu extremists in New Delhi on 28 May.
They beat him with steel rods, forced fed him pork, and threatened to urinate on him.
This kind of attack on Muslims has happened every day since Modi's reelection victory.

This is Kremlin propaganda. Russia, even without Crimea, still has Black Sea/Sea of Azov ports in both Rostov Oblast and Krasnodar Krai.
Are they as good as Sevastopol? No. But you don't get to steal your neighbor's land because they have a better lawn than you.
Whether one likes it or not, Crimea is absolutely seen as a core part of Russia by Russia.
Crimea is also of critical national security importance to Russia, as it is their southern navy base.
From their standpoint losing Crimea is like USA losing Hawaii & Pearl Harbor.
