    I have some devastating news for the hindutva fascists (not Indians in general): you will never be white or part of the west. Union carbide will dump chemicals on your land, Cargill will sell your farmers one time seed, metro PCS will make racist ass commercials about your accent. The only reason they are pumping you up is so you go fight china for them. You are part of the global south, embrace it. You are one of us.

      Pakistan , India and bangladesh can never truly integrate into anti colonial and anti imperialist movement due to various reasons , specially the religious fundamentalism embedded into our culture.

      Remains to be seen, it is a very fluid composition

    I hate these dumbass Hindu nationalists. Their weird love for “Israel,” their insistence that Europeans and Americans actually care about where they fall in the caste system, their belief that westerners consider them somehow “white” – everything about them is just delusional. Only Zionists and Ukrainian nazis inhabit a weirder headspace.

      hindu nationalists are extremely delusional , they think India is no. 1. Partly because they think India developed a grand philosophy called Advaita Vedanta which is seeing God (Brahman ) in every living being on Earth. Now , it is correct we developed this philosophy but it had a catch , lower caste people and shudras were thought as inferior because of sins carried from previous birth. It was embedded in Bhagavad gita , upanishads that is originally “Hindu Dharma” but when biritsh colonized india , hindus came up with a new interpretation which is everybody is equal and caste system is a product of colonialism . Hindus have become arrogant and our history has been distorted to a large amount.

      7. Among them, those who did good work in this world [in their past life] attain a good birth accordingly. They are born as a brāhmin, a kṣatriya, or a vaiśya. But those who did bad work in this world [in their past life] attain a bad birth accordingly, being born as a dog, a pig, or as a casteless person.
      

      Obviously it was not all caste we had some good things too like every religion but NOT ABSOLUTELY GOOD

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nasadiya_Sukta

      Nasadiya Sukta (Hymn of non-Eternity, origin of universe):

      There was neither non-existence nor existence then; Neither the realm of space, nor the sky which is beyond; What stirred? Where? In whose protection?

      There was neither death nor immortality then; No distinguishing sign of night nor of day; That One breathed, windless, by its own impulse; Other than that there was nothing beyond.

      Darkness there was at first, by darkness hidden; Without distinctive marks, this all was water; That which, becoming, by the void was covered; That One by force of heat came into being;

      Who really knows? Who will here proclaim it? Whence was it produced? Whence is this creation? Gods came afterwards, with the creation of this universe. Who then knows whence it has arisen?

      Whether God’s will created it, or whether He was mute; Perhaps it formed itself, or perhaps it did not; The Supreme Brahman of the world, all pervasive and all knowing He indeed knows, if not, no one knows

    India has more poor people than Sub-Saharan Africa in absolute terms. Hindutva fascists are so deluded, do they not go outside and see poverty with their own eyes?

    Globally, extreme poverty is estimated to increase from 8.5% to 9%, representing 41 million more people living in extreme poverty in 2019. India accounts for almost 70% of this global change in extreme poverty (the revisions to the India series are explained in the What’s New document). At the $3.65 poverty line, India accounts for 40% of the slight upward revision of the global poverty rate from 23.6% to 24.1%. At the $6.85 poverty line, virtually no change is observed in global poverty estimates.

      India is literally ranked 111th on the world hunger index but the BJP sarkar and World Bank will use cool metrics like multi-dimensional poverty index where caloric deficit and non-existent healthcare can be somewhat offset by owning a smartphone to deduce that poverty is getting better. :)
