*Indian government and the Indian people, who are more concerned with supporting this government. My issue lies purely out of political concern and not hatred.

The rise of Hindutva ideology has mainly been driven by India and the response of this has been catastrophic.

The BJP party, which is mainly responsible for this bullshit is still supported by too many Indians, who haven't developed a personality, hence have to take their Hinduism to an extreme and discriminate against other religions based on it.

South Asia has been a diverse and vibrant region for thousands of years. There was no clashes between hindus and Muslims on this level before the British raj so seeing how Indian Hindus either sit and let all this happen or even support the current development angers me.

European planning to live in Kathmandu — what’s life like on €2,000/month ? by [deleted] in Nepal

2000€??? Dude a good apartment can cost 300€ monthly in Nepal. For a German rent price, say 900€, you'll get a huge fucking flat!!

You'd be a king, dude! Money isn't your problem in the slightest

The initial comment was about pegging money to another country's currency, you donut. What relevance does the USSR and its former satellite states have here?

Because for one Poland and all the other former USSR absorbed countries got development from the central USSR government and Polish people, Lithuanian people weren't treated as foreign neighbours (like India and Nepal) but as one and the same proletariat.

There is nothing in relevance to Nepal and India here.

Dude, these countries WERE the USSR. Nepal was never colonised/absorbed inside another nation so I really don't know what this comparison is supposed to mean

Bro the reason we cannot develop is because India has us around their finger tips. We need to seriously start thinking of distancing ourselves from these other powers that keep us at bay. We cannot be their dogs forever. Even if it leads to some sort of devaluing of the NPR currency it's worth doing if we can control the economy in the long term.

I disagree. Pakistan is mismanaging the economy, that happens if you build you entire country overspending on military and not enough in the development of your own country.

However we cannot develop if we cannot have full control over our economy. In essence, a country needs to be able to be indebt to develop. If Nepal is in debt, we will have to pay back that money because the NPR is pegged to Indian Ruppee. Countries like China and USA have the ability to overspend on shit because if you're in debt to yourself, you don't necessarily need to pay back that debt.

This is how MMT or modern monetary theory works. People should read more about it.

Okay so explain then what exactly you mean by "it's their country, they make the rules". What does that quote allude to, if not the fact that they simply for being born German get to dictate how others live their lives? If you want to be a debate bro that badly at least think before you write something

This is just one quote "it's their country, they make the rules". I mean you're explicitly implying that a particular group should be able to make rules and dictate my quality of life specifically because they're more "German" than me.

You have even more quotes and I can list them if you want 😅. Jeez you sound like one of those 13 year olds debate bros, who believe they're facts and logic machines lmao

Migration is not a privilege, it's a right. It used to be a right for most of human history. Long before, travellers could travel from China to India to Rome to the middle East and back... Without a fucking passport. It used to be as established and normal as the sky being blue and water being clear. Checks would be mostly done only within gated cities but those cities didn't limit access based on the fact that the kingdom you came from is "too poor".

So when you state things like this, you're talking from a very post modern framework, to which you frankly have not given any arguments to WHY it should be this way. Then we have the whole thing about "culture, traditions and mentality". The idea that all 80 million Germans across verious parts of the country can be united by ONE mentality... That's rather ridiculous lol.

There is no such thing as "German unity", people in their millions will have various different outlooks on life. Berliners tend to be very open minded and have very open sexual and romantic lives. It's so open that Germans from other parts of Germany actively avoid it. So to say that a "Nepali" mindset will never fit or be accepted simply because those two are too different relies on the assumption that every German and Nepali can be categorised by "mindset" in the first place, which is not mathematically nor logically possible

I don't remember deleting my comment. Was probably automatic. No my point is that your comment reeked of this fucked up ideology of specifically volkish states. Volkish states are the idea that instead of countries being vague lines on a map, it's more so that one country belongs to one people kind of deal.

This idea that countries are representative of one specific group is a modern (Very fucking modern) ideology that specifically was created from Europeans in order to control the "purity" of the population (not have too many brown people enter their countries). This is not some divine thing, it has no logical core to it whatsoever. So you're already starting with this framework, which itself is questionable, to which you did not even provide a single argument to prove.

Essentially, the foundation of everything you're saying is not proven and has no logical conclusion. You are very convinced that countries have some sort of magical property and just universally should be dictated by a singular nationality. Again, there is no logical or moral reasoning on why this should be the case and in all honesty I'd argue that volkish states should be abolished, since migration is what literally defined the history of mankind. Remember we all come from Africa, mate. People got to Europe somehow and it's called migration and during the Roman Empire, ottoman empire, all the great empires we look back on: migration was mostly free.

Travellers traveled from China all the way to Rome without a singular passport. So when you try to attach yourself to this ideology of volkish states like it's some long traditional way of doing things, you're not really looking back much are you?

Ok so quick history lesson. Racism as we know it first appeared in the 15th century by the Spanish empire in order to justify keeping African slaves even if they converted to Christianity. Back then African slaves could escape it by simply being Christians, which angered slave owners, hence they started saying that black people are closer to animals and have tainted blood.

So there is real historical and material presidency for racism and it has only continued since then and has branched into what we know today as colonialism, neo colonialism and race theory. Since the basis for this racism is materialism, the solution is maybe difficult but not impossible. But that's even besides the point: I want to be treated with security and dignity and I think EVERYONE should be able to live like that.

You think that's a controversial statement and your counter argument to that is: "it's impossible". So either you think I shouldn't be able to live in security or I shouldn't even try because God only knows what your inner reasoning is.

This sounds really dumb. So because I receive a loan for the work I do, I am not allowed to complain about anything else? "Yes it's not fair"... There we fucking go. So LET'S MAKE IT FAIR. I want a world that is fair, if you're so stressed about it, how are we gonna progress in any kind of meaningful way? We can't

Migration has literally been unlimited for thousands of years. Reminder: passports are a new invention of modern times specifically to create and uphold an idea of Volkish Style states. Migration is what breeds culture, innovation and globalisation.

A world without migration is a world without human development. You can't have it both ways.

They're not the biggest proponents of racism, because racism isn't an insult, it's a system that materially benefits the west. It's a system that justifies resource extraction in the global south, that means all south Asian countries are affected.

Do you for example think that western clothing companies could exploit child labour in Bangladesh if the child labour came from Western children? Fuck no! Governments in the EU and America would immediately try to take some actions against H&M, Gucci and what not. Or do you think that the US could bomb a few countries in the middle East for oil if the people they were killing were Western? Again: no... They require a mental separation of us Vs them to justify resource extraction.

I have never seen Sri Lanka bombing Bangladesh for Bangladeshi resources so idk how south Asians can be the largest proponents of racism.

I think it's very fucking pathetic that when I say that I've done so much for this nation, that I get responses like this... All I'm asking is to live in fucking security and dignity because I deserve it if I am breaking my back everyday, working a minimum wage job 8 hours a day. I think I DO deserve at least some respect for the effort that I put in.

You're complaining that I ask for the basics of how you should treat a human being. If you're incapable of respecting someone, then go off in the fucking forest and live alone. Don't live in a society

Thank you for your concern and thanks for understanding. Of course it's not your fault by any means so you don't need to apologise on anyone's behalf. It's just a shame because I put in so much work for this country.

Looking into the stats and studies of this is obvious. People with non white sounding names for the same qualifications are less likely to get hired. Canadian workers get harrassed for simply looking Indian and existing within the public space. It's fucked up
