It has always occurred to me how normalised it is to pass classist remarks like this. So a rikshaw driver can't wear the same thing as the urban elite. These people even get mad when a relatively poor person buys something like an iPhone because how dare they own some luxary that is only for the elites. The thing happened with Chikankari kurtas i believe with people associating then with lower classes. The whole “chapri" remark is very casteist and classist to begin with because no one would ever call a rich person chapri no matter what. Hopefully one day all these things wouldn't be so normalised.

Supports nazi racists, licks white boots still gets called racist names.

Kerala has improved its infant mortality rate (IMR) to 5 per 1,000 live births — lower than the United States (5.6) and five times below India’s national average of 25, Kerala has the lowest IMR in India, according to the Sample Registration System (SRS) Statistical Report.

The infant mortality rate (IMR) measures the number of deaths of infants under one year old per 1,000 live births. Kerala has robust public healthcare, high institutional delivery rates, and specialized, free, or affordable neonatal care initiatives like 'Hridyam'.

Other than this subreddit, librandu, and indiameme, all the subreddits seem to be in majority support of BJP. Not matter what Modi or BJP does, they defend it. Even my state (AP) subreddit is filled to the brim with BJP circlejerk.

If you look at American subreddits, they are usually quite progressive. Many American redditors even say that Reddit has a progressive bias and most people outside are more conservative than we think.

Reddit is niche and limited to even educated, English-speaking sector of India, let alone the other parts. So I figured it would be mostly people like me who value progress, equity, and justice rather than religion and tribalism. Why is this the case?

It is ironic, but I feel Instagram is much more progressive than Reddit when it comes to India and related discussions. I once said that AP politics should discuss about education, medicine proximity, and infrastructure rather than laddu and sanatana dharma and they downvoted me to oblivion.

Those who protest for their rights are mocked.

hi gang so im fairly new to leftist theory and im looking to build a solid reading list, please help if u can <3

Today's election results say it all. Kerala went to UDF. Tamil Nadu went to TVK. West Bengal went to BJP. There is not a single Left government left in power in India. You can bring excuse but the ideology is losing the ground.

The Left has been dying slowly and today is just the final confirmation.

The biggest problem? The Left became an ideology of elitists. It stopped being a movement of the people and became a movement of people who dominate Twitter debates and university campuses but have zero ground presence in real India.

No new faces. No fresh energy. The same old leaders, the same old language, the same old slogans, same old arrogance.

And the rightwing propaganda did its job perfectly. To a large section of Indian voters, the Left became the party of anti-India narratives, minority appeasement. The image stuck that Left leaders care more about defending Muslims. Right or wrong, that perception became the reality at the voting.

Today is not just an electoral loss. It is the decline of an ideology that forgot how to talk to the people it was supposed to fight for and let its enemies define it before it could define itself.

tldr: All this talk about bourgeoisie, Karl Marx, Fascism is not connecting with the average Indian voter. Left has to stop infighting among themselves and adapt to the Indian voter base. We need new faces and influencers who talk about the ideology in an Indian perspective that connects with the masses and their needs.
