That's not what a democracy does. Trump's buddy is pulling India down into the international crapper. But India now has enough clout, and a protector in Trump who cares nothing for justice, so he reckons he'll get away with it. It's not as is China or Russia will do anything about it (China might call Modi hypocritical, but will be glad it's one less country than can criticise them about Tibet or the Uighurs), the EU is consumed by Brexit, so there'll be no downside for Modi.
