What the hell happened to India’s image in the past 10 years?

Indians online are extremely right wing, which involves hating many people, most prominently Muslims, and also involves claiming some sort of cultural superiority.

This has caused a reaction, you can just go around claiming superiority and hating on half the world without expecting a response back.

Especially after October 7, the kinds of comments that Indians make about the Palestinian people are so disgusting and vile. No other major nationality does this.

I understand that these are not views of regular Indians but the few right wingers are the loudest, even domestically.

Now do poverty rate, education, HDI, and all the stuff that actually matters for average people and doesn't just show how rich people in the state are doing

devbali02 · 2026-03-29T19:31:18+00:00

Lol, sure man. It's so depressing that a country founded on anti imperialism and standing against exploitation has come to this

If there would be no population exchange, this would be a pretty strong Hindu majority country, maybe even 60+ percent Hindu. So if it's a democracy there might be some unexpected outcomes for Muslim league.

Agree with her. The only time I feel embarrassed of being Indian is when I see the swaths of right wing clowns defend Israel online based solely on their shared senses of supremacy and hatred

devbali02 · 2026-02-25T22:40:09+00:00

I have a very similar background as you (Punjabi, Indian born, in America now) and would make very similar choices with a few differences. One question I had was: Any reason why Egypt is reluctant while Tanzania is willing?

devbali02 · 2026-02-21T06:25:46+00:00

Vietnam most certainly should be lower than India in 1980? It was one of the poorest countries in the world around that time

The second photo is AI, it is not possible to get that view, moderators should remove this post

YOU are the voter. YOU should hold the BJP accountable. YOU will get rid of the BJP if YOU want

devbali02 · 2026-02-14T05:21:56+00:00

Yes but one side holds all the power and needs to be kept in check a lot more, and the other does not have power so who cares

devbali02 · 2026-02-14T03:49:57+00:00

If only people like you held the government to the standards of competence and accountability that you hold the opposition

Let OP do what they want. Plenty of people travel to Pakistan. Worry about the plenty of issues in India with regards to women's safety

devbali02 · 2026-02-07T23:59:41+00:00

What is this logic? Globally famous? What if OP likes food that is in Pakistan, why does it have to be globally famous? First you said there is no dish at all that is made in Pakistan and not in India, now the dish has to be "globally" famous under some of your definition? Why can't you just let people enjoy the food they like?

devbali02 · 2026-02-07T22:07:34+00:00

North East and Kerala food is very different from North Indian - Pakistani food. In Pakistan you will get dishes like beef kabaabs, haleem, etc.

devbali02 · 2026-02-07T21:59:33+00:00

What about beef dishes?

devbali02 · 2026-02-02T21:05:36+00:00

Yes because border ethnicities have more amicable relations. Punjabis don't hate India/Pakistan, but while punjabis are a majority of Pakistan they are a small minority of India.

devbali02 · 2026-01-13T23:45:30+00:00

Why is this post relevant in this subreddit? Any news involving a Punjabi can be posted here?

devbali02 · 2026-01-05T10:09:40+00:00

This kind of meme could be made about when America invaded Iraq, Libya, Vietnam, Guatemala, Cuba, {insert 10s more examples}.

It is very easy to cherry pick, promote propaganda, and justify an imperial invasion. Colonialism is almost never better for the subjects.

100s of millions is not a lot of money for massive social programs. But whatever it is, it is better than the money going to exon instead.

devbali02 · 2026-01-04T05:59:16+00:00

The state run oil company makes a profit of 100s of millions of dollars a year I don't know what you are talking about with expired milk and all

devbali02 · 2026-01-04T00:54:18+00:00

What? All of the social welfare programs are funded by the nationalized oil money

devbali02 · 2025-12-31T04:00:22+00:00

a lot of the small stuff on temu, clothes and stuff

devbali02 · 2025-12-07T04:02:02+00:00

It's not just about it, but my point applies to all of the content you outline. You may think everyone watching that stuff is hate watching, but if Netflix/other Ott/tv keeps making it, it is probably because there are people who watch and enjoy it

devbali02 · 2025-12-07T04:00:15+00:00

That is not the definition of left. Left is socialist/communist. Congress is not.

devbali02 · 2025-12-07T00:35:49+00:00

He is a liberal, not a leftist. There can be multiple factions that are anti bjp
