honkeystan is a place. I don't really care to know what weirdass polities lie within it.

South Indian states are similar to Southeast Asia

North Indian states are similar to the worst parts of Africa, but without the privilege of just having more land

The latter is more capitalistic and conservative

Kamala is part Brahmin, sorry to disappoint (makes a lot of sense tho if you think about it)

Okay but Bengalis and Punjabis and Burmese and Cambodians and Laotians and ESPECIALLY Biharis/Hindustanis are also allowed to work abroad?????????????? And these places are worse off than Kerala

So obviously something's being done right

for the mayos reading:

imagine if Europe was a country, and 95% of its politicians were Serbian. Now also imagine that in this alternate reality's history, Serbia had invaded and Serbianized all of northeast europe. Now imagine that under this new European nation, they force everyone from Crete to Ireland to learn Serbian in schools (in addition to their native language and obviously necessary english)

that's what India is

yeah but it's way easier to "make 'em excited" when there are fewer other distractions around, also when the fundamental medium of the information (print and text) is something they're familiar with
