I work in program in Canada where I see lots of immigrants, and many of them are from India. And they’re some of pretty good people I’ve met. Some were very humbling, some funny as fuck, some cool as shit. Rarely I’d see somebody who’s on the bad side. They’re very respectful of women here and treat others with respect including people with disabilities, even went out of their way to help.
And yes, they acknowledge some dark side of India but there are also beautiful parts that they all love.
Nice tech tutorials. My LineageOS version comes from an indian guy, total legend.
Awesome food, literally one of the best and healthiest ever. Vegans love it, its such a bless to always have at least vegetarian options. So spicey, diverse and not weird stuff like Sushi you dont really do yourself. Want to cook something? What about a coconut curry?
I spent a month there in the late 90’s. I was not quite 21, and it made a huge impression on me. I met many wonderful people, fell in love with the food, and have maintained an interest to this day. In college (much later) I studied Sanskrit and Hindi, and also some classes about Bollywood movies. I would love to return someday soon. I have heard that it has changed a lot.
Multiple national security sources alleged that Indian officials did not dispute the allegations in closed-door meetings with Canadian officials. The Guardian could not independently verify the CBC’s reporting.
Read that Guardian article yourself before sending.
This is a weird one. Some call the guy terrorist because he was part of a movement that’s been going on for past 50 years and gaining traction recently.
An ex British colony that could have been a superpower but got partitioned and turned into 2 countries hostile to each other, preety sad if you ask me.
They have a rich history but they live in the past, lacking modern sensibilities. Proud, arrogant, ignorant, short-sighted are some words that come to mind.
How common are school shootings in India? Don’t get me wrong, the India is a shithole, but USA is more horrible if you’re poor, a woman, or a minority.
From Wikipedia: An honor killing (American English), honour killing (Commonwealth English), or shame killing is the murder of an individual, either an outsider or a member of a family, by someone seeking to protect what they see as the dignity and honor of themselves or their family. Honor killings are often connected to religion, caste, other forms of hierarchical social stratification, or sexuality. Most often, it involves the murder of a woman or girl by male family members, due to the perpetrators’ belief that the victim has brought dishonor or shame upon the family name, reputation or prestige.
As an Indian I would say India lacks in physical infrastructure - roads, public transport (although this is improving rapidly), etc. However having lived in Europe I will say that the technological infrastructure is very good over here - banking and payment systems (UPI is way better than the payment systems in Europe), online services, internet quality, etc.
I kinda want to go there because of the amazing food and culture. But I will probably never go there, because I’m reminded of all the less great things about India considering pollution, poverty, heat and a guarantee of food sickness (which does not go well for someone with IBS).
Having not been there I dont really know enough to form an opinion of such a huge country that contains such a diversity of cultures, but it does seem to be struggling with severe overpopulation which is at the root of many of its isssues
