I know historically that's been the root problem on the subcontinent.

2019-09-21 15:23:18 UTC  

Problem older than the muslims themselves.

2019-09-21 15:23:40 UTC  

Nothing much as of late. South India has been relatively far ans free from the chaos of the north.

2019-09-21 15:23:55 UTC  

The only conflict is linguistic

2019-09-21 15:25:11 UTC  

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

2019-09-21 15:25:25 UTC  

Are Modi's radicals tensioning the relations with the south or is the south just treating them as something very old and normal?

2019-09-21 15:25:58 UTC  

I mean is there a real danger of splitting the country or Modi isn't so bad?

2019-09-21 15:27:06 UTC  

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.

2019-09-21 15:27:27 UTC  

It's all regional federal coalitions that hold power here

2019-09-21 15:28:18 UTC  

And how is development in the south?

2019-09-21 15:28:58 UTC  

Did Modi do something to boost out the economy in the southern states or fight corruption, or is it just business as usual?

2019-09-21 15:29:09 UTC  

Business as usual

2019-09-21 15:30:11 UTC  

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

2019-09-21 15:31:14 UTC  

In fact, they're quite diverse from the north, so is the northeast.

2019-09-21 15:32:43 UTC  

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.

2019-09-21 15:33:03 UTC  

I'm not from the West.

2019-09-21 15:33:16 UTC  

At least, I do not consider myself to be one.

2019-09-21 15:33:22 UTC  

So, I know better.

2019-09-21 15:33:47 UTC  

🙇

2019-09-21 15:34:16 UTC  

Ironically, one event which divided lots of Indians over the internet wasn't Pakistan or Modi

2019-09-21 15:34:25 UTC  

It was a certain Swedish youtuber.

2019-09-21 15:34:38 UTC  

Is she?

2019-09-21 15:34:41 UTC  

Really!

2019-09-21 15:34:49 UTC  

This little idiot???

2019-09-21 15:35:00 UTC  

Here in the EU we HATE HER!

2019-09-21 15:35:33 UTC  

I'm literally at the last shithole of the EU and even I can tell you not only the Swedes, but all of Europe hates her!

2019-09-21 15:35:36 UTC  

Her? PewDiePie lol, not Greta Thurnberg.

2019-09-21 15:35:44 UTC  

Phew

2019-09-21 15:36:00 UTC  

I thought you were talking about the other Swede in the news.

2019-09-21 15:36:27 UTC  

Damn it, those two are more popular than all of their politicians combined, aren't they?

2019-09-21 15:36:42 UTC  

Lol the only Swede right now worth caring about is PewDiePie, or Zlatan Ibrahimovic (if you are a football fan)

2019-09-21 15:36:54 UTC  

People don't know who the prime minister of Sweden is but they know these two.

2019-09-21 15:37:31 UTC  

Lol, the only Swedish people I know are the above two, and probably ABBA, but I don't even remember the name of the people in the band.

2019-09-21 15:37:35 UTC  

Yeah, i know Zlatan but he is a muslim and for us on the Balkans it is a really big deal.

2019-09-21 15:38:16 UTC  

ABBA is the only other group of Swedish people I know lol.

2019-09-21 15:39:20 UTC  

Greta Thurnberg is no Malala, but the whole media seems to think that some oil tycoon put a bullet in her head and made her a climate hero

2019-09-21 15:39:41 UTC  

Hahahahahahaha

2019-09-21 15:40:06 UTC  

The reality is she just hates going to school, this is why she travels the world for climate change.

2019-09-21 15:41:07 UTC  

Literally repeating the same ass words my elementary school textbook talks about climate change.

2019-09-21 15:41:39 UTC  

Let’s just hope Hong Kong makes it out alive without being ploughed down by the Chinese
