Yes Indian forums and non western media have begun giving this some coverage. Western media nowhere to be seen outside of a very rare few reports bringing light to this.
Huge social unrest happening in India with farmers protesting and students protesting still ongoing after nearly two years of continuous social unrest. If Muslim Indians pile on, Modi's head is going to go.
I'm not a fan of china poking india on this issue, it goes against PRC policy on interference in internal affairs of other countries. Drama teacher trudeau just got a bad reaction from indian media, and now western social justice warriors might want to pile on as well.
A statement of support for the Modi government doesn't cost china anything right now, and also gives a good signal to india that a thaw is entirely possible with china. Or it can always subject itself to endless criticism and influence from the west.
