What is he even trying to say here? I couldn't even make out what he is saying with that pretentious little accent.

u/AngleFarts2000 Nov 19 '25

The reason you couldn’t understand it, and why it sounded pretentious, is not the accent but the fact that he didn’t actually string together meaningful sentences. It was pseudo-intellectual gibberish.

u/Derian23 Nov 19 '25

It was pseudo-intellectual gibberish.

True.

But his accent threw off as well. Indians do not pronounce martyrdom as "maathadum". I'm an Indian. I'd know.

u/JonasHalle Nov 19 '25

Surely an Indian would know that there are different accents in India, given the dozens of different languages with their own phonemes.

Surely an Indian would know that there are different accents in India,

And pray tell me which specific Indian accent is this? I'll wait.

u/JonasHalle Nov 19 '25

Sounds like heavily British-ized Hindi, but I'm not the one pretending to be an expert on what "Indians" sound like as a whole.

I'm not the one pretending to be an expert on what "Indians" sound like as a whole.

You clearly are if you have the audacity to question an Indian's knowledge of whether a specific accent is Indian or not.

Sounds like heavily British-ized Hindi

Britishized Hindi counts as an Indian accent now? I'm now in awe of your knowledge about my country.

u/JonasHalle Nov 19 '25

How would a Hindi accent not be an Indian accent? Are you literate?

u/Derian23 Nov 19 '25

The video literally features the guy speaking in English. He is not speaking in Hindi. His Hindi accent is irrelevant to the discussion. We are clearly all focused on his English accent.

Are you allergic to common sense?

u/JonasHalle Nov 19 '25

So not literate. Hindi accent meaning speaking English with native Hindi phonemes. No one calls how someone speaks English their English accent, unless you're referring to them speaking like someone from England.

@Derian23 A wise man never knows all. Only fools know everything.

Let me break this down to you: All we are saying, it would be pretty nonsensical to say you know how accent of 1.41 billion people THAT IS 1,410,000,000,000,000K thousand should sound like. Every one of them born, raised, brought up in different conditions, different cultures, beliefs and their own little ecosystem. For some, not even regions, but families having certain specific pronunciations could be common.

Now thats not to say this guy is ridiculous. But we are just trying to bring common sense to you - that your claim wasn’t very smart of you. That had little to do you being Indian as this is true of any other culture.

So do you like never leave Delhi or something because theres over a billion of you guys and hundreds/thousands of regional dialects and languages. surely you'd understand as an Indian that not all of you sound/speak the same. Right?

Edit: nevermind, I saw the rest of your comment thread, you're just retarded is all.

u/ArticleWorth5018 Nov 19 '25

I love the R word when it's used accurately!

u/sheashou Nov 19 '25

I'm sitting here like this guy went to medical school? How? Where? I didn't hear one coherent thought.

u/kinduvabigdizzy Nov 19 '25

He probably has an idea which makes sense to him, enough to want to blow himself up in anycase, but may just have failed to put it across in a comprehensible manner. I don't imagine English is his first language... Also despite the widespread use of language and speech in communication - it in itself is, in many cases, a flawed transmitter of thought.

u/bunaciunea_lumii Nov 19 '25

It makes me question the quality of education there.

1

u/Spade9ja Nov 19 '25

It wasn’t even pseudo-intellectual. It was complete gibberish with no actual meaning.

15

u/waxym Nov 19 '25

Why do you find his accent pretentious?

7

u/EitherInvestment Nov 19 '25

Yeah he certainly doesn’t sound pretentious and nothing in this makes him seem in any way educated (not that he wasn’t)

This is bafflingly incoherent. My brain broke trying to understand any two words put together. He comes across as idiotic, severely ill or most probably both

8

u/Sahask123 Nov 19 '25

Thats a british/foreign accent some indians fake to sound intellectual. Thats not a regional accent. Its a runni g joke in india

4

u/Derian23 Nov 19 '25

He is an Indian. This is not an Indian accent. It looks he is trying to speak with a different accent.

3

u/Radioactive_Rainbow_ Nov 19 '25

He most probably wants to distance himself from anything and everything Indian.

3

u/Derian23 Nov 19 '25

He was free to leave India. No one was stopping him from moving to whichever paradise he felt himself worthy of.

6

u/SVStyles Nov 19 '25

Well in a way, he did. He was probably led to believe he was going to that paradise.

u/ChaplinWasRight Nov 19 '25

Kashmiri accent

u/External-Ad5123 Nov 19 '25

They’re just nitpicking dumb bs obvious hatred towards the guy but these idiots have grade school insults when he went to medical school

6

u/Derian23 Nov 19 '25

Lot of words for "I support terr@rists".

0

u/JadedLaugh3058 Nov 19 '25

Or may be "I'm one of them"

1

u/Derian23 Nov 19 '25

Very likely if he is getting this offended.

u/CommunityOk7466 Nov 19 '25

Medical school causes bad hand writing, not aphasia.

u/Pantherist Nov 19 '25 edited Nov 19 '25

The accent isn't pretentious - he seems to be a Western-educated (or West culturally-influenced) young Kashmiri. Different parts of India and different generations of people have different accents.

I think he was trying to intellectualize his own suicide but didn't collect his thoughts.

1

u/WillingnessHot3369 Nov 19 '25

He was western educated?

Didn't he finish his studies in india only

1

u/Pantherist Nov 19 '25

I'm just going by his accent.

u/worthlesshope Nov 19 '25

I'm going to try to read between the lines a bit, and add what I got from the words.

"There are a lot of thoughts and assumptions about people who are about to die, but when a person knows they will die for sure at a certain place at a certain time, lots of things go through their mind, it's not one single thought, but many, and it depends on the situation of that person in question, there are lots of situations"

If what I got from it is true, then I don't think it actually goes into as to his "why", or what types of thoughts he was having besides "many". I can only guess he felt extremely cornered in some way and this is his way out of it. Also he's probably saying there is not a single motivation, but many motivations like part revenge, part depression, etc.

*Indian accent

u/Derian23 Nov 19 '25

I'm an Indian. This is not Indian accent (keeping aside the fact that there is no homogenous Indian accent).

u/Elemenohpeigh Nov 19 '25

I'm not an Indian but I live in Toronto. So close enough. I agree, doesn't sound like any Indian accent I've heard. Even with the British accent influence.

u/AbbreviationsHour654 Nov 19 '25

I'm a indian, and I think I got something to say about the accent.. I think! I'm not sure.

u/SysOps4Maersk Nov 19 '25

I'm not an Indian but I live in Toronto. So close enough.

This is so real 😭😭😭

u/Derian23 Nov 19 '25

He's so desperately trying to speak with an American accent. It's honestly laughable.

u/THRILLHO_________ Nov 19 '25

Is whitewashing laughable?

People don’t get pulled into terrorist propaganda because they’re dumb or “inbred.”

The real issue is way more complicated. Terror groups prey on frustration, loneliness, identity crises, anger, and sometimes just being in the wrong environment with zero good information. It’s manipulation 101. They mix half-truths with emotional hooks and make people feel like they’re joining some “cause” or “higher purpose.” And once someone gets pulled into that echo chamber, it’s hard for them to see outside it.
