Really? I mean, really?
I would expect this kind of bullshit in maybe r/worldnews but not in HN.
- dominotw 11y agoHe might have exaggerated a bit but overall conclusions are still right on point. I've lived all over india (due to the fact that my father was in Indian army) and what gp said is true everywhere in India. We have to admit what is wrong with our country. Feeling shameful, defensive, angry, proud, hurt ect is not going to help anyone and infact is counter productive.
- sremani 11y agoI am never an apologist for the Indian State, but to say, India would be better under British rule, is a NO - NO for me. In spite of its failures at many levels and mostly falling short of expectations, India is a miracle. There is no other way to put it. The population of entire Americas, north-south and central is lesser than population of India. So, if you are seeing grotesque poverty and violence, well they are still there in Americas. Xenophobia is really not a phobia if you read the history of Delhi. I mean this city has been sacked since 10th century and regularly had its population obliterated.
