Damn new racism just dropped: Yokels who've never been there wanna bash an entire nation and culture based on its government. Shouldn't be surprised Lemmy is already overrun with those disgusting fucks. Europeans are as racist as Canadians.
It's unfortunate that their infrastructure isn't great right now. It's unfortunate the inequality in their society right now. They are still recovering from what England did.
Nevertheless, it is the home of some of humanity's greatest culture. Amazing food, beautiful people, wonderful aesthetics, fascinating languages. Spiritual home to some of the most profound philosophy and religion humans have ever created. Amazing flora and fauna too.
Everything about India is incredible. There's just a lot of work to do.
Shhhh... you're not allowed to point out anti-Indian racism on internet forums.
Seriously though, it's amazing how many people can't see how they use the same fucking rhetoric talking about Indians that they themselves would immediately condemn being used against any other population.
India was systematically robbed by an industrialized, kleptomaniac regime less than a century ago. And today they are working to position themselves to be a major world power in the future and fans of colonialism and Western hegemony can't stand it.
Yep, afford to the people the same dignity that you would afford to the population of any other country with a bad govt. Govt can change, people are a large and varied collection and not a monolith to describe in a singular method.
