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!

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!

Her? PewDiePie lol, not Greta Thurnberg.

Phew

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

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

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

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

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.

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

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

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

Hahahahahahaha

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

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

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

Best case scenario

I doubt the Chinese will enter in force @S K E L L Y Ivanthenotsoterrible

What's so new and innovative in this girl that everyone's giving her a platform to speak about?
If anything it's a problem with society is that they keep forgetting what's quite obvious and regurgitated facts seem novel ideas now.

Too much media and bad image.

For now.

I doubt the Chinese will give any fucks soon

Hong Kong has kinda lost its economic relevance to the Chinese

And it's the image of the PRC, too.

If they just plough it down soon enough all countries will look at it and think twice before giving a hand to the CCP next time.

Neighbouring Shenzhen has developed at a breakneck phase as a financial hub.

It would be bad relations for the Chinese.
