It's getting really complicated in our day and age to discern good from evil.
What I really hate about the English is their inability to see past their blind interests sometimes.
Can't really say, but there has been some controversial decisions lately.
The indifference towards people being killed for "beef" and the way those murderous cow vigilantes go scot free.
The NRC leaving many legitimate Indian citizens out of a recent state census in the state of Assam to weed out immigrants.
Modi's deputy recently making controversial statements to impose Hindi as the national language despite each states especially South India having cultures historically opposing that.
Like with Pakistan. They have created a monster even they can't control, but keep feeding it. Why? I don't know.
Suspicious arrests of opposition party leaders, also release of many criminal politicians, many of who were even given a parliamentary ticket
No world leader seems to be "good" these days
I really hope you fair better, cause hope is low in the modern world and Bharata is one of the few remaining bastions of it.
I mean it sincerely.
You are **THE OLDEST** ones around here.
Our economy is failing to take advantage of Trump's shenanigans with China. We seriously have a great opportunity to gain a lot in this trade war.
No one can beat India in culture and history, not the West, neither the East, nor even Egypt and Mesopotamia.
And this world can use some of this ancient wisdom, really.
I know about the pakis, but come on-you are 10 times more than them!
Some state governments are "Hindu"ising history though.
Like their disregarding the efforts of the Moghul empire for example
Some radicalists even believe the guy who shot Gandhi dead was a hero to the Hindus.
How are the Hindu vs. Dravidian relations going?
I know historically that's been the root problem on the subcontinent.
Problem older than the muslims themselves.
Nothing much as of late. South India has been relatively far ans free from the chaos of the north.
The only conflict is linguistic
Like Hindi can't be enforced on the south because historically the Aryan culture of the north is different from the south, so it really can't be much of a unifying national language
Are Modi's radicals tensioning the relations with the south or is the south just treating them as something very old and normal?
I mean is there a real danger of splitting the country or Modi isn't so bad?
Well, a southern state recently had their CM thrown in favor of a pro Modi one because of the coalition collapsing.
But so far, there's been no controversial decision.
Apart from this, Modi's barely made a political impact in the south.
It's all regional federal coalitions that hold power here
And how is development in the south?
Did Modi do something to boost out the economy in the southern states or fight corruption, or is it just business as usual?
Business as usual
The southern states have generally done well, they have healthy literacy rates and much of the contribution to the service sector, especially IT, comes from here
In fact, they're quite diverse from the north, so is the northeast.
The general image of the stereotypical Indian in Western society is generally of a Northerner, you know the typical "street shitter pajeet", the "creepy internet guy who's hungry for Bobs and Vagene", the "stereotypical accent", brown skin, Sikh turbans etc.
I'm not from the West.
At least, I do not consider myself to be one.
So, I know better.

Ironically, one event which divided lots of Indians over the internet wasn't Pakistan or Modi
It was a certain Swedish youtuber.
Is she?
Really!
This little idiot???
Here in the EU we HATE HER!
