Why is this a double standard? It's two totally separate things... What am I missing?

No double standards there, completely unrelated incidents in countries thousands of miles apart.
Who are you people?

The difference is that peaceful protests in India don’t include (at the moment) heavily funded extremist groups creating violence in order to try to discredit democratic peaceful protests. In France there are masked thugs who are causing problems. They’re influenced by and in some cases funded by a network funded by wealthy assholes. And some of the agitators are just assholes.

Student protesters in France who are burning down town halls and fighting with riot police are no different from an activist in India who has used hunger strikes and peaceful demonstrations to oppose an explicitly Hindu nationalist government. I am very smart.
