Oh no!
The Chinese?
where do indians get leather from if cows are sacred? >

Not all Indians are Hindu >

80% are, according to census data. It's of course not all, but the vast, vast majority. >

That still leaves 278 million nonhindus. Even if it's a small percentage, it's still a huge number of people thanks to India's large population
Some context, that's more than the population of Indonesia, which is the 4th most populated country >

..and ~1 Billion Hindus, which is the Population of all of Europe, the US & Indonesia combined. >

Right, but their point is that those 1 billion Hindus are not the ones producing the leather. >

It's not just leather companies. India's Government is helping Russia dodge sanctions.
It created a new banking system just to help Putin. It will also become popular with money launderers all over the World. As intended. >

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 88%. (I'm a bot)


Indian companies have been accused of enabling Russia's war effort after exporting leather to Russian companies that make boots for its military in the months since the invasion of Ukraine.
Russia and India have longstanding ties and Narendra Modi's government has not joined western countries in openly criticising Moscow over the war nor stopped Indian companies trading with Russia.
The company confirmed it was supplying leather hides and leather boot products worth £830,000 each month to Russia and that two of the biggest users of its materials were Donobuv and Vostok, Russian footwear companies that are primary suppliers of boots to the Russian military.

Good thing redditors do not run international diplomacy..comments here are so short sighted. India supplies leather = india bad. But don't think about what would happen if India doesn't supply leather...
