Indian Economics Thread II

[ansy1968]

Because Indians (elite/upper caste) assume that their GENETICALLY SUPERIOR to any Chinese plain and simple. The Indians don't talk of superiority over any other white caucasoid races since they think and feel they're of the same kin hence a sense of fraternity/brotherhood/kinship of high intellect, and high martial prowess. That's where the misplaced confidence come from along with the sneering attitude towards any success China achieves with accusations of debt trap, Chinese stealing tech, genocide, China collapse theory that's embedded in the psyche of these group of Indians.

Bro it's a feudal society just like in the Philippines, look at both situation and see the similarities, we have a run away population growth hitting 110 million and growing, our main export is labor, Political Families run our policy and the society is structured to service those elites resulting to callousness attitudes toward the masses as though they own the country.

Ohh!!!! I almost forgot, both are religious and therefore prone to manipulation.

If the Indians don't think that way then they wouldn't look down on China/Chinese and treat China as if it's their perpetual enemy to be despised, ridicule, and feared at the same time.

As a point, I don't think Chinese is in anyway at all GENETICALLY SUPERIOR OR INFERIOR TO ANY ETHNIC GROUPS IN THE WORLD. That sort of thinking is IDIOTIC, FASCISTIC, AND MOST ESPECIALLY COMICALLY RACIST. Chinese people need to excel is borne out of our struggle and continued survival in spite of the deluge of struggles, upheavals, and hostilities from countries where we're forced to be placed into; given the promised of riches and to find a place of peace, serenity, and solace away from the land turned upside down due to China's internal rot as well as external factors that upended then existing order. Wherever Chinese people go we find ways to adapt and thrive to the point of being envied, hated, and still be treated as outsiders to the countries if residence as perpetual outsiders or not Canadian, Australian, American enough. I don't want to belittle and disregard the hostilities, and horrible sufferings Indians suffered at the hands of their colonizers doing so is despicable beyond human reasoning. But it's also one of the most perplexing conundrum I don't understand from Indians. They should be more understanding and respectful as to what animates current China's recalcitrant approach with respect to it's legal and historical rights regarding the border issue, the South China Sea situation along with the ongoing geopolitical contest between China and U.S. along with her vassals.

Is this true? Indians look nothing like Europeans lol

In general certain amounts of Indians and Europeans share the same genetic and cultural ancestors. The shared genetic history is more pronounced in the upper castes. Sanskrit, the language that historically only Indian upper castes had the right to learn or even listen to, shares certain commonality with foundational parts of some European languages.

Most famously, the term and the "Aryan" ethnic group, that occupies the imagination of many white supremacists was stolen by Europeans from ancient Persian-Indian culture and history.

It’s more around linguistics for Indo-European family or Indo-Aryan. Language is often the most first and important cultural bridge with society as it is the lens people is taught to see and understand the world.

I always love mentioning to White Supremacist that Indians are probably more Aryan than they are and where the Nazis got the Swastika and likely also inspiration regarding purity based social hierarchy from and have them lose their minds.

No it's not. Higher caste Indians literally think they are white. They call darker skinned Indians "black".

Aryans were light skinned tribes from Central Asia who invaded and conquered the dark skinned Indians. They then enslaved and exploited them for centuries, creating the foundation of the modern caste system.

That's what it says in their historical books, Hindu nationalists seethe about that and somehow think Aryans were from India and never did that. The Nazi association with Aryans itself was a cope, they couldn't handle the fact that darker skinned Greeks and Romans had an ancient civilisation while their master race Germanic ancestors were barbarians who lived in mud huts.

Something interesting:

Indian National Congress just won state government elections in Karnataka
Interestingly, this state (Bangalore to be exact) is where Foxconn is planning a new Apple plant in addition to Wistron's existing plant

Before the elections, BJP had passed new labour laws allowing 12 hour shifts and night shifts for women after heavy lobbying by Apple.
But INC's manifesto promised to repeal unjust labor laws. Could INC's win throw another setback to Apple's India strategy?

That's interesting. There seem to be many Brahmins on the East Coast of the United States, and I've interacted with many of them. I know they're Brahmin because they explicitly mentioned this to me. I understand that linguistically, India shares many similarities with Europe. Still, the Brahmins I know look nothing like Europeans to me. If I had to guess, based on the Brahmins I personally know, Brahmins are probably only around 5% European or less. Keep in mind, this is purely anecdotal.

They might not have been the first settlers of the Indus Valley but they're probably as or more "Indian" as White Europeans are "American." The Aryan people conquered the native peoples and settled down, passed down the language, and established their cultural traditions onto the land and people. Many believe it was the Aryans who first introduced the caste system which likely separated "the lighter-skinned" Aryans and the darker-skinned "natives" into Brahmin and Dalits. Then again India has always been made up of loose, disparate peoples so it's likely they took pieces of different identities and cultural narratives and tried to weave them in a light to benefit whoever is in charge's agenda.

Kind of pissed that it's India making all that middleman money... at least have a China-friendly country like Pakistan or Ethiopia profit.

On the day India goes full illiberal and does something so outrageous that the West won't be able to turn a blind to, I wonder which country will be their lifeline economically...
