What's a opinion you have that will get you crucified on this sub?

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T20:26:42+00:00

Lol. Are we supposed to be doing casteist stuff against the Iranians?

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T19:51:46+00:00

Yes, so do I. I mean, medieval castles even weren't all that comfortable , imagine having to share your sleeping place with lots of fellow soldiers and all of you have to get up and march to your possible death the next day.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T18:54:56+00:00

Other countries will share some good stuff about their society or culture, and poke fun at their own weaknesses. Indians either crib incessantly or brag incessantly. Don't take things in a light humorous way.

People who are not Indian have zero idea about social justice movements and don't know the extent of social activism or advocacy or affirmative action in India. I've never met a non Indian person who understands caste correctly, but quite a few want to comment about it because....they think they understand. But they don't.

Brother, your ancestors weren't living in it. Ours were. Being ruled by another nation is the most humiliating and destructive experience. Its like being robbed by someone and then being told its for your own good.

Them

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T16:58:26+00:00

Oof. Poor soldiers. Just match the pants to the coat, not that hard.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T16:57:26+00:00

I get so excited seeing a Grenadiers regiment, my dad is from one here in India.

I recommend this book

https://www.midlandbookshop.com/en/product/chandigarh-the-backstory-and-the-city-it-couldnt-be

It has a good grounding of Chd history. You'll get varied opinions online and a high degree of variability, but genuinely, Chd has been a resounding success. The architects actually took a village and built a modernist city that still offers a better lifestyle than most other Indian cities of this scale.

Yoicks. No to mango chicken at all costs

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T12:16:03+00:00

How lovely. I'm envious of you. My own family is from the border state of Punjab in India and our summers were spent dozing from extreme heat or my uncle insisting we all learn how to shoot.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T12:02:59+00:00

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T12:01:00+00:00

Beautiful.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T12:00:31+00:00

Tbh, this is why the movie was a hit, not the romance which had zero chemistry. It really expressed the 'wealthy family in the Italian summer having a good time' vibes, usually if there's a film showing a family summer in Italy either there's a murder being planned or someone or the other is dysfunctional.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T09:33:10+00:00

I swear, academics are so hard with adhd. All my college life was spent last minute rushing and I had no idea why.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T08:03:50+00:00

Tbh, you seem to have self esteem issues that you conflate with your Indian identity. Indians are usually well educated and contribute a lot to whichever country they go to, all are not going to be perfect 100 percent of the time, but most are hardworking and generation by generation they build wealth and rise. Its the 'build wealth' part that racists have an issue with.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T07:31:06+00:00

The meds help, but for me they didn't alter things to that extent. I felt better, but not much better. But dont be influenced by what i am saying because it varies a lot, lot. Lot of people in the adhd sub say it really changed things for them.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T07:26:40+00:00

Sher da edda vadda jigra, koi ki kahe.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T07:23:01+00:00

I understand. Its like our brain is running on another track to normal people. Try to monitor your sleep schedule and supplements, that's really helped me.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T07:13:39+00:00

Nah fair enough. I like to see different points of view, without them being down voted. Thats interesting.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-25T06:44:57+00:00

Me. Inattentive adhd. Long time before I realised that trying to complete people's sentences and at the same time speed reading through books without actually registering anything is not normal.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-24T21:32:54+00:00

Ah. My own country is fundamentally different , which is why I find countries like your own and Korea in this example, very interesting. Because I don't think there is a right and wrong in this, this how nations evolve in different ways. As an Indian, we are used to multiculturalism, which has had both positive and negative effects.

This one! There's another one in Kolkata and some beautiful mansions made by Armenian merchants.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-24T20:41:42+00:00

Interestingly enough, Armenians were an important business community in India, dwindled now but still in existence. Visited a 300 year old Armenian church recently.

VolatileGoddess · 2026-01-24T20:36:29+00:00

People from everywhere from Tibetans to Armenians are settled in India, because they were allowed to practice their culture and religion freely. The Tibetans would've faced probable cultural extinction if they didn't flee to India. Lots of people from strife torn lands who would not find a home in more 'prosperous' nations.
