Remember when there was some shit going down in India like burning rape victims and other messed up shit weekly in the news cycle? Well it's all still happening, all the same stuff but somehow ppl let it go because India needs to be protected.

Same thing with scam call centers that prey on the most vulnerable of the west.

Seriously, India is fucked and not ready to be taken seriously but we all kinda have to because it's a big country. Disappointing.

I am of the opinion that we can and should still ignore India without suffering a big impact.

Difficult to ignore when Hindu extremeists live, study, work in developed countries with their casteism and Hindu supremacist politics which has taught them to hate, fear, & dominate non-Hindus (Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, atheists, etc.).

Indian diaspora living abroad are major supporters (financial, social, and emotional) of Hindu extremeism.
