"Hindu dharma" is apartheid and genocide of poor people.

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.
61Pakistan , 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.
19Pakistan can't due to its elite (mainly its military being a complete puppet of the west and looting the country along with their civilian facade). Of course fundamentalism plays some part as the military utilizes it to a great extent, but a lot of it has to do with the country's resources being looted and its money stored in offshore accounts.
I can't speak for India or Bangladesh. I will say that the caste system is a detriment to development and that is definitely a form religious fundamentalism.
19This is a Gangetic problem, not an Indian problem
South India and Maharashtra have far less fundamentalism (I'm not trying to be chauvinist here, I've heard this from multiple non-desis who only learned what these provinces were after visiting India)
There's a strange type of "exclusively punch down + religious fundamentalism" brainworm complex that peaks in Northern India, including Bengal. It resembles the right-wing rhetoric that I see from certain Latinos

This comment is getting dangerously close to some anti-Latino rhetoric!

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.
39India 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. :)
21It's because the west said a few nice things about them. Colonization really wreaked havoc on a lot of brains, not just in India.

What the actual fuck going in this guy's head
36Ukraine flag. You can safely disregard everything they say.
28Dude is setting the bar high for the beginning of 2024. Imagine what deranged things we'll see by the end of the year!
21ukraine flag is a symbol of ignorance
18This guy looks like he hasn't properly chilled out in years. Just look at that forehead crease lol
13Seems like a typical (east) Asian-hating lib to me tbh. They're common enough, though I'd not have expected this exact combination from Indians
10It is a little odd but it a nice breath of fresh air to not have one of these disgusting creatures fetishizing us.

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.
18hindu 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.

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
13Very interesting (I'm fascinated by world religions/philosophies). The part about rebirth reminds me of Plato, who of course came much later. He has Socrates say in various dialogues that we inhabit a corrupted zone of the earth; those who lead good lives can after death be reborn in the higher, more beautiful regions of earth, while those who practice virtue and devote their lives to wisdom will after death leave their physical bodies and the physical world and go to live with God and the "forms." But those who are vicious in life will be reborn as animals or plants; and if their sins are particularly vile, they will not even be allowed to live on earth, but will be punished in a region of fire at the center of the earth.
I remember coming across the second passage, or something like it, in a biography of Beethoven. He was apparently deeply moved by certain Hindu writings and copied out entire sections in his notebooks.

I could envision a world where Indians with passing complexion become white. It's happening with West Asians after all.
India would be incredibly useful to the empire geopolitically, and if the global economy keeps bifurcating (or Chinese wages get too high) they may also have to replace China as the source of cheap labor for the West. That won't really work out well considering they're also in the firing line of the climate catastrophe, but who knows, maybe climate engineering works out and India doesn't become largely uninhabitable.
1they may also have to replace China as the source of cheap labor for the West.
Besides the climate catastrophe -- which I'm with you in hoping humanity finds a way to mitigate -- there's also the problem of building India into a modern advanced industrial economy that can replace China. China's industrialization is rightly seen by the rest of the world as a kind of miracle, made possible (though western countries hate to admit it) by the fact of its being a Marxist-Leninist state. Specifically, land reform, political unity, the government's ability to mobilize the masses, and a theoretical framework which understands the role of capitalism in the context of Chinese and world history have been the cornerstones of China's economic success. The west likes to boast about how capitalist investment "raised" China to what it is today, but the fact is that no other government could have done with that investment what China did. Certainly Modi's government does not have the power, ability, or necessary base among the people to achieve what Mao, Deng, and Xi have done.

17how do you say 'living space' in Hindi?
13There isn't a word like lebensraum in Hindi as far as I know. Zameen can mean plot of land so it could work but since we haven't had a settler streak yet since independence a concept like lebensraum has not materialised yet. This Twitter user is an outlier even within the spectrum of deranged Hindu fascists. That's not to say that racism against Africans is not common but people don't talk about randomly invading a continent that is thousands of miles away.
18Jagah ?
10not Hindi but in Dravidian languages it'll sound loosely like
"Jeevna Jaga"

The massive Hitler particles are concerning
6The British assimilated them and handed them their country. And the first thing they did was start massacres based on religion leading to partition. They genuinely think they acquired it with military superiority. 🤦♂
