What's your background? This is some pretty scathing commentary. If you're from India, I can find it interesting. If you're not, then some of your comments come off as a bit xenophobic towards India.
- ignoramous 6y agoYes, I'm from India. Other such scathing commentary, if you're up for it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20497465 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20497465 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16302042 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16302042
- luminati 6y agoThis is a textbook display of virtue signaling amongst the English speaking elite of India.
- ignoramous 6y agoVirtue signaling or not, if you think I am elite just because I speak English, you don't know India enough. But sure, feel free to judge away.
- cycomanic 6y agoI also found it scathing, but I thought it was quite obvious the person was from India or at least had some pretty intimate knowledge about India. While I agree that there is a line to be drawn between xenophobia and criticism I also find it dangerous to say only people from within a society are allowed to criticise it. Are Latin Americans not allowed to criticise the US for example?
