Fuck off, we rebuke shitty Catholics and Christians every day Because we're real honest people about religion.
Jews and Muslims do nothing but defend the worst people humanity ever produced. Like to call the bad actors out, would be to admit their religion is a violent death Cult.

There are more Christians that thinks this Pope is a Communist Gay Sadist than there are Christians that are proud he is the Pope.

Until other religions can openly call out bad people in their religion or tolerate other's calling them out, without being personally insulted. Then your religion is silly death cult of psycho ass wipers that uses their hands. There's nothing for me to understand, you need to understand the difference in what I am saying.

What? Watch Bahrat nationalist propaganda so Indians can deal with their insecurities vis a vis with the rest of the world? It's like watching videos of "How Canada is not like the US". Those are made for the same reasons -- made to deal with the insecurities of Canadians so overwhelmed by America's cultural and economic presence right next door.

Like when they got all 'proud' for sending that probe to the Moon despite the fact that they are just doing stuff the West did 60 years ago, which the West had to INVENT -- not copy -- how to do? Oh puleeze.

Sorry did I trigger something. Which statement did I lie in all this discussion. Unless its in your imaginary brain that floats in your you know what.

I didn't want to bring this up again, but my Chennai friend's relatives, faced less racism in Malaysia (pre or post-independence) than in their ancestor's homeland of so-called pre-United/pre-Independence India.

And since India, Sri Lanka (a.k.a Ceylon), Myanmar (a.k.a Burma), and Malaysia were under the flag of the British Empire, then why is it that these South Indians were more assimilated into "British" Malaysia than in "British" North India? Yes, they tried their lot in the Delhi and Maharashtrian regions and were treated as permanent outsiders.

I thought that Britain pushed racism onto all their territories so that ppl of darker skin tone could feel inferior and only accept the rule of 'whiteys' above them?

Perhaps that this notion of racism, isn't restricted to the Dutch and the British. Perhaps racism exists everywhere and different societies deal with it differently and that Malays, on the whole, once you factor out Islam vs { Hinduism, Buddhism, Christianity }, aren't so racist after all?

You have a myopic view of how indians look and keep bringing it up. Travel to india and you will know how many skin tones are there. Dont take input from 1 guy.
You know the definition of race? When there are people same race but with different skin tone is their prejudice against one other still considered racism? For exampe a britisher and italian?

I gave you examples which other race's actress bleach their skin. It is requirement of the profession. To look better on camera.
How can you generalize based on 0.00001% of population choices.

If you really want an indian actress aping western look. Maybe check this.



Again get into your thick brain none of the actresses in india want to look russian or western. Maybe talk to more enlighten indians.
Like I said before there is enough research done till now showing there is no difference between north and south indians. That is a myth propagated by British to divide indians. Skin tones are different because of different environments people live in. If you bother see the map of india tropic of cancer passes through middle of india.

Considering that all of the other South Indians I know, see themselves as separate from the North, doesn't exactly give me the warm and fuzzies. If it's not race, is it a nationality thing where they see South India as not an extension of New Delhi Inc?

Hell, they even have CASTES -- which still are a social-economic-political factor despite all the Virtue Signalling Indians say otherwise on the subject. And women BLEACH THEIR SKIN in order to be 'whiter'.

Another myth spread by british. Caste is not a term from india. British try to impose it on India. There were different group of people divided according to their profession. No one considered one superior to other which was what castism means. British decided who were upper caste and who were lower caste. And people had to accept their terminology because that was the only way they could secure jobs. And stupid indian governments try to follow the same even after independence.

I don't understand how does anything discussed here related to the video I posted. When people have nothing to counter that is when they rant.

Also, did the British create the current separatist/terrorist problems in Kashmir/Jammu and Assam/Manipur? Or was it Indira Gandhi's govt?

I've heard from Assamese and others, that the whole region was in peace, before Indira Gandhi screwed it up? And Assam is basically, split between India and Myanmar, not really a part of either.

Ok, here's the thing. These 'diasporic' South Indians have a new homeland in Malaysia, with work visas in Singapore, and in Malaysia, they're equals with the locals whereas in Singapore, they deal with bigotry from the Chinese majority which is kinda expected.

As a result of being happy in Malaysia, they have no interest in returning to India because their parents' memories of the Nehru/Indira era is at the fore front of their minds and don't see a future there outside of the usual Bangalore Inc/Silicon Valley thing.

So the question is this ... did the British create this havoc for only India but left its other holdings, like Malaysia, Bahrain, etc, alone? Because I have a hard time believing that the British engineered a social catastrophe for one nationality and left the others to their own devices.

And the only Indians I know in India, are ones who'd studied/worked abroad, since my work never took me there directly.

Talking about them is like touching a hornet's nest. That lady(indira gandhi) was under russia's influence and wanted to suppress everyone. She declared emergency(total control) of country and started kidnapping and killing people who were against her. So many people left the country who were afraid. I think that's when they left. Its been 44yrs now. Its easier for them to blame north indians. Even north Indians were affected because of her. The present prime minister of India went into hiding when police came after him.
Victimhood kicks in when you are in self-preservation mode.
I agree with people living outside the country, they dont have anything to go back to now. If they want to have same life-style they can go only to big cities. And even people in smaller cities are migrating to bigger cities because that is what modernization( for lack of better word ) does. Few pockets of wealth.
India has landmass 1/3 of US so you can say it is still a big country. To rule it british created a divide and rule policy. And it was easy for them to use any differences to control people. British have been teaching people in south that they are different from north for 100+ years. And these differences still drive people today.

Regarding the north-east thing:
Once we were visiting a theme park in LA and my wife was just chatting with some lady and asked her if she was from India and the lady said yes from the north and they chatted. After she stopped chatting, there was another lady sitting there. That lady asked my wife why didn't you ask where I am from. My wife said oh I thought you are from china or some other place. She said no I am indian and from manipur.

IMHO, the real problem with India (and China and Russia) is that they don't have enough regionalism. If Europe had not been regionalistic, either Napoleon or Hitler would have "united" Europe . . . then European history in the past couple centuries would have been just as dark and benighted as that of 19th century India and China.

When the British arrived, the south and the north of the sub-continent had different countries. The people living on the sub-continent obviously saw themselves as different from each other. It's a good thing the British did not try to wipe out that regional difference like Chinese and Russians did in their respective imperial expansion. Britain itself is better off to have retained the identity to leave EU, and the Scots to have retained the identity to secede from the UK. Regional self-government makes for more responsive government than imperial rule.

Such revanchism is proof that most of the world's brown countries, even their alleged intellectuals, are living in the pre-1648Westphalian world (i.e. intellectually pre-modern, literally atavistic). Obviously, the manufactured claim you are copying is essentially laying territorial claims to all of Pakistan and Bangladesh (either that, or the prophets thousands of years ago already foresaw precisely the map of British division of the subcontinent in 1948! so you might as shut up). The number happen to be 12 because the editor of that collection redundantly counted major rivers and their tributaries selectively, therefore goal-seeking 12 (perhaps they worked for the government statistics bureau of a prehistorical "India"; LOL!) .

By such silly logic, because Celtics used to occupy all the land in Western Europe, Central Europe and Balkan frontiers of the Roman Republic, should Ireland today lay claim to all of Western and Central Europe north of the Alps (perhaps even the Po Valley south of the Alps)? Kicking out all the French and Germans?

What you have there is even worse: pure myth and superstition of relatively recent invention trying to rewrite history. The South-Asia subcontinent population consisting of one race and culture? Are you kidding me? What the heck happened to the invasion corridor from the north? When are you going to lay territorial claims to Indochina after you are done with taking over Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal and Sri Lanka?

It's a recent invention by recently selectively picking and choosing a few pieces from a sea of myths. It's just like when you start with 2000 stock pickers, after 5 years, you are likely to find one of them to be a "consistently high performing" stock picker in the previous 5 years . . . then in the 6th year he is likely to fail: because he was a lottery winner through the picking-and-choosing process, not his own competence.

The celebrations were happening atleast for 5000 yrs with recorded history. Celtics can claim if they were still doing that even today. They ran away because of other tribes. Indians did it even under muslim and british rule.

You can't even keep track of something that happened less than 20 years ago (the death of Osama), what makes you a reliable examiner of alleged "5000 yrs with recorded history"? Did a few Nazi leaders' worship of Odin and Ocult make entire Europe the land of the Celts today?

pakistan, bangladesh were carved out of "british india".

There was no "India" as a state (as opposed to a geographic concept/genera-direction like "Europa," "Orient," "West Indies") before "British India."

Nepal and tibet had treaties with british India.

The post-1948 state of India is not the sole sucessor state to "British India." Pakistan, (Bangladesh), Nepal, Sikkim and Burma were all successor states to British India. India already took over Sikkim, and is in the process of taking over Nepal, along with declared intention of over-running the 1948 cease-fire line in Kashmire, which became a quagmire because India would not allow regional/national self-determination in Kashmir through open public voting on the issue. Why do you think there is a constant armed rebellion/resistance in Indian occupied Kashmir for the last 70+ years, but no such rebellion/resistance in the other half? Just like Chinese should have allowed Tibetan self-determination, perhaps India should have likewise allowed Kashmiri self-determination?

After british left India did not occupy nepal. But China occupied tibet.

Where have you been? Have you been hiding under a piece of rock for the past 30yrs? Your own nationalistic claims to the entire South-Asian sub-continent is even more ridiculous than the Communist Chinese claim to Tibet. The Communist Chinese are making claim to Tibet based on itself being the successor state to the Manchu Empire some 120-150 years ago, instead of allowing post Westphalian and post-WWI national self-determination; you are making your claim based on alleged history before British arrival 400 years ago, and likely nothing more than myths and "epics" thousands of years ago. The Manchus at least had well kept court records as well as external treaties with the British, among others . . . whereas the "epics" and myths that you are talking about are little more than oral traditions that are re-interpreted and reinvented every generation as they are currently being done.

Not united. This doesn't show the scores of tiny states, semi-independent vassals, city-states, etc.



In 1500, Vasco da Gama had made his first trip to India and barely made it. He landed in Kozhikode, where he met the KING of Kozhikode (Calicut), where the Muslim Merchants tried everything possible to prevent him from trading. Yes, Calicut had it's own King and the Portugese interfered with the rivalry over the throne to beat the Muslim Merchants who did not want Christians spoiling their monopoly. As you can see, Calicut was supposedly part of the Empire of Vijayanagar according to the map but de facto independent - no united India. Eventually the Brits would back Mysore in conquering Calicut.

When Da Gama entered India, the Muslim world panicked; their usual bullshit about climbing huge mountains and risking their lives ("Oh, my cousin Jamal DIED in the hands of the Roc") to get pepper and cinamon and saffron, hence the outrageous prices, collapsed.

By Da Gama's fourth trip, Europeans were involved in battling Muslims and using their vastly superior ships to move the needle for the friendliest Indian Leaders, playing off the various Indian States against each other while elbowing the Jihadis out of the Indian Trade.

Around 900AD ghazwa-e-hind was declared and india was attacked troops 4 different kingdom came together and beat the troops so bad that caliphate disintegrated.
Which is not taught in any history book, not even in India.

hmm, India was no one's bitch anymore because of some story from 900AD? Have you heard of the British India Company founded in 1600 and the British Raj after that? I suppose it is easy to fool the average IQ=...

Only if you tell it its history. If someone else tells it, its a story?
That his-story I was explaining to Rin because he says India was always conquered by outsider. And I wanted to point out the lies in that narrative.
You talk about low IQ and point out that EIC formed in 1600 and immediately started occupying the world...
British became a political power in 1757 when they defeated the bengal kings.
If osama was dead in 2002, why were 6trillion $ of tax-payer money mine and your spent hunting him. And only before obama was done with his presidency he was killed miraculously.

Jesus. 44 comments on India as a topic. Did wet bulb get mentioned? How about Guam? Either way, I'm sure it's all Trump's fault.

Both america's left and right are against india, so they come out of the woodworks when their narrative is challenged. Trump is one of the few good men, he loves the hindooos.

Ok I got new definition of lying now.

Except that is part of the old definition of lying. But I can see how someone who just trolls thinks he can re-invent the dictionary.

Another myth spread by british. Caste is not a term from india. British try to impose it on India. There were different group of people divided according to their profession. No one considered one superior to other which was what castism means. British decided who were upper caste and who were lower caste. And people had to accept their terminology because that was the only way they could secure jobs. And stupid indian governments try to follow the same even after independence.

wow! So much bullshit!

Brits used it, sure. But it was already in place long before they got there.

Just like Indians d...

Ok I take back my smear, you dont have shit for brains...

You may think I am bulshitting about Caste. But in india there are 4 castes or varna in Indian context. And everyone thought they were superior.
Brahim because they were keeper of Knowledge,
Kshatriya because they were keeper of Political power,
Vaishayas because they were keeper of money and trade.
Shudras because they were keeper of physical labor.

You are bullshitting that they were a construct of the Brits.

But once caught, you tried to avoid that. Just like you totally avoided the uncivilized open defecation issue.

SInce you are saying that I am bullshitting... let me explain the way you will understand maybe.
If you see saw harry potter there are four houses:
Gryffindor
Hufflepuff
Ravenclaw
Slytherin
They were having a ball of a time. They consider others i.e. muggles(untouchables).

Then dementors (british) I am trying to be funny here, come in and say. Hey there teams I dont want you to be merry I will fix you guys, because how can 4 teams which are different be friendly to each other, we suggest this:
Gryffidor is the best
Hufflepuff is the next best
Ravenclaw is the third best
Slytherin is the last
muggles are the worst.

But the 3 houses complained asking why gryffindor is the best. And to this day Dementors say we gave culture to you by stratifying you.

I never deny open defacation is a problem. But you cannot provide proper toilets to everyone, and the corrupt governments never do it.
The present prime minister is much better he helped build 40million toilets. It will take sometime and push from government to fix the problem. Then people like Reality come in and say you hindu nationalist party war mongerer why dont you have a status quo of a slave as before.

The stories you were telling were simply fantastic and not believable, not surprising considering that you are more into "epic" (i.e. fantasy stories) instead of real history. When the British EIC arrived in India (i.e. when British arrived in India), the sub-continent was fragmented into numerous independent states. In 1760, the subcontinent still had several independent states . . . entirely in contradiction to your claim that the sub-continent was a united people before the British arrived or took power.

If osama was dead in 2002, why were 6trillion $ of tax-payer money mine and your spent hunting him. And only before obama was done with his presidency he was killed miraculously.

What are you talking about? The money was spent on building military bases all over the world in anticipation of future wars against possibly Russia, China and/or India . . . along with the acquisition of equipment and training of personnel. It's the cost of maintaining a Thalassocracy (and breaking up or preventing the rise of big land-based monopolies). Obama wheeled out Osama for his re-election; too bad the body didn't preserve well in deep freeze for over a decade, so some body had to be dumped at sea instead of being offered up for public display.

After the British left the sub-continent, the Hindustanis and the Pakistanis have turned the sub-continent into sh*t under the banners of socialism and nationalism. When Hindustan finally started economic reforms in the 1990's, it's a replay of Da Gama and British EIC arriving at the seaports, and the native Hindustanis flocking to trade with the foreign sea-borne merchants, breaking free from the continental land-based monopolists (aka the Hindustani government bureaucrats this time, just like the various Muslim and Hindu princely rulers the last time). What the BJP and Modi have been doing is rather similar to what Hitler did a century ago: even as German people moved from the east side of Germany to the west side in pursuit of commercial opportunities (even Hitler's own parents and grandparents moving from the east side Austro-Hungarian Empire to Linz located on the west side of Austro-Hungarian Empire), his advocacy of Lebensraum / "living space" in the east served as a political platform for catching the idiot votes. What Hindustani today would want to move to Kashmir? instead of the coastal cities to get higher paying jobs? Yet, the nationalistic Lebensraum political ploy gets the idiot votes in the streets. The idiots in the streets just want to vote themselves into being slaves of the land-based monopolists (aka, the government of Hindustan), even as their daily economic choice shifts towards trade on the coast.

As for building toilets, how does wasting money running a police state and occupying Kashmir help build toilets in Hindustan? How many Hindustanis want to use toilets in Kashmir and get their asses shot up in the crossfire between "freedom-fighters"/"terrorists" vs. "security"/"enslavers"/"occupiers"?
