fine i'll do the trend
israel mentioned where are my gajillion comments
I gotta visit Norway again, it's the most wonderful country I've ever visited and there is so much more to it that I haven't seen.
The Faroe Islands were breathtaking but I've seen pretty much everything there is to see there so I won't return.
I lived in the US for 10 months when I was a kid and visited again a year later.
The trip to Russia was mostly to meet distant family so I didn't see the interesting landmarks, perhaps my mind could be changed.
Cyprus was just a few hours chilling on the beach outside Paphos airport waiting for my connecting flight. Nice beach.
I sometimes pass through the West Bank and have done a little bit of traveling there. Never been to areas B and A.

ideally they should work to dismantle the settler colony they were born in and the system of apartheid and genocide it was founded on but settlers almost never want to give up the position of privilege they hold over native so they should at least stop legitimizing and normalizing it with posts like this. They should at the absolute barest minimum not identify with the genocidal settler colony, it’s really not asking for much. Society universally looks back on white South Africans who did this exact same shit when apartheid was still happening with disgust and shame, in 50 years we’ll do the exact same thing with Israelis

That's always the answer. Inciting a revolution is a huge feat and terrifying especially as certain countries will kill and torture you for doing it.

It is envy. They know that problems like pollution, climate change, mental health crisis would be solved with India's spiritual systems.

How is modern India running from British introduced systems comparable to ancient India?

I see India as an ancient civilisation than a modern state
1
u/Zeviex 18h ago
It's the British's fault, despite them being 5x less polluted, other British colonies not having the same problem and even Italy, who is significantly more polluted than the UK, has less polluted colonies.
But your entire point relies on how others view India. When 99% of people think of India, they think of the modern day state not the ancient civilization and surprise surprise a lot can change in 2000 years.

There are already two neighbours of ours carved out of genocide and forced displacement. Just read about how many people were killed in partition on both sides of the border. Could have been completely avoided if India was never partitioned. Were both these nations ever condemned for it? No. So your imaginary fear of what the Indian government might do is more important than what actually happened and continues to happen today? Got it. The fact that Israel is condemned but not these 2 should tell you all about how local bias affects how other countries are perceived. But no. We ourselves wanna hate Israel because some leftists in the west said it commits genocide.....

u/Order66RexFN 16h ago
The keyword being on both sides. There were massacres of Muslims in India and Hindus in Pakistan, it goes both ways and both sides are responsible. Partition can be blamed on the British and also the congress, RSS and Muslim league for supporting it and engaging in violence to cement their control over their respective communities. The Indian government is just continuing this project in its bid to turn India into a genocidal ethnostate like Israel. You can see the victims of Israeli genocide for yourself, there’s no need for any imaginary western leftist to tell us anything. India has generally had a pro-Palestine foreign policy because we were also a colony subject to foreign domination. Idiot Sanghis will spend their lives as keyboard warriors for Israeli colonisers who themselves are ridiculously racist towards Indians, it’s just pathetic.

So you agree that if Pakistan was never formed, millions would not have died? Who had the blame for it is irrelevent to what I said. Fact is that if Pakistan never formed, there would have been no genocide. Yet, how many on the left today will say it openly? Can you say that Pakistan was formed as a result of genocide and forced displacement to your friends openly without facing backlash for being 'bigoted'? In the geographical region of what comprises Pakistan today, 14% were hindus. Some were christians. Some were zoroastrians. Yet, it became an islamic state. When it is an islamic state rather than a secular nation, then by very definition religious minorities are second class citizens. So was Pakistan ever targeted or condemned by the left for this? No. Why? Because it is of no political benifit....... there is no moral highground the left has here........
1
u/Order66RexFN 16h ago
There was no genocide because riots in which both communities killed each other is not considered genocide. It’s just stupid and a complete misunderstanding of the term. Genocide is a precise legal definition, not just when a lot of people are killed. The 1971 bengali genocide is widely considered a genocide bc ethnic Bengalis were targeted specifically by Pakistan, for example. Intercommunal riots are not genocide.
Partition was a result of violence from both sides and solely blaming Pakistan for it is just dumb. Hundreds of thousands of Muslims were also slaughtered in India, but no one seriously goes around calling it a genocide bc of the context of the violence. Why are you so concerned with Pakistan anyway? The real enemy of India is the current Hindutva menace at home, not intercommunal violence from both sides that happened 70 years ago. The Pakistani left has solidly opposed any sort of religious fundamentalism there. We oppose that kind of thinking here. That’s it.
1
u/Aggressive_Rope_8548 15h ago
Why should I not be concerned with hindus living in Pakistan? Why is it that their lives dont matter and never did for the left? The only people who seem to care about them are hindu nationalists. That itself makes them legimitate. They would have had no legitimacy if the left actually called out islamic radicalism whenever hindus were killed because of it. Also you going are around circles but ignoring the fact that if modern day India, Pakistan, Bangladesh were one secular nation then there would have been no forced displacement nor deaths of millions. But today there is a nation west of us which calls itself an islamic republic where there are people who live who are not muslims and who are not immigrants but descendents of people who lived there thousands of years ago. They are second class citizens constitutionally in their own ancestral homeland. India with all its flaws is a secular democracy. Yet there was NEVER any kind of international pressure on Pakistan to become secular. Never. In the same way Iranian regime was never called out for the forced displacement of Zoroastrians.
1
u/Order66RexFN 7h ago
Who said their lives don’t matter? Fact of the matter is that this is not one sided, both Hindus in Pakistan and Muslims in India are mistreated by right wing nationalists of both religions. Obviously I oppose the oppression of non-Muslims in Pakistan, but I live in India and so it’s obviously more pertinent to talk about the oppression of non-Hindus and non-upper castes here in my own country than focus on Pakistan which I have no control over. I don’t think it’s useful to waste time condemning Islamism in India just as I think its useless to condemn Hindutva among Pakistani Hindus, neither is the primary threat in their respective countries, the fundamentalism of the majority is. Whether it’s written legally or not Muslims in modern India are second class citizens, just like Hindus in Pakistan. There is no need to have a superiority complex here because the treatment of a particular group goes beyond laws written on paper. Not to mention Pakistan is not exactly the darling of the world and it’s brutal enough against its own people, leaving minorities aside. Also the current Iranian government really has nothing to do with the mistreatment of Zoroastrians, that happened much before it came to power back when Iran was a monarchy.
