Forgive my language, seems dealing with Jai Hinds on twitter and memories of customer service days as a college student has made me rather eager to deliver poetic justice and humility to them; shall we call it, Karma.
I dare say that even prior to Doklam and Modi, there were undercurrents amongst Indians to "avenge '62".
I still remember dealing with these individuals on reddits and subform as far back as 2008; what Modi has done is bring all of these undercurrents to the surface, much as Trump and his people like Pottinger et al brought up the incipient societal racism inherent in a settler culture like Anglosphere america.
India of today is certainly not like the india of '62, when india's leaders having attended british public schools tried to emulate their previous oppressors by oppressing their neighbours, be it Goa or Sikkim. India of today, has all of those delusions of grandeur but the associated racism of trying to become as their white anglo masters hope for them: as loyal sepoy soldiers at the while of white anglo command. At least back in '62, there was still a desire for pushing back against colonialism. Today's India looks to join ranks with the anglo imperialists, in the form of the Quad, and this is signalled via indian media and through indian social media.
Resolving this issue isn't going to succeed without cracking some heads, as biden's admin. is fast discovering when it comes to de-MAGA-fication and as germany discovered in denazification.
India is still quite feudal in many ways and that's partly why they have this remarkable arrogance. It's the higher caste and the wealthy ones that think so greatly of themselves. Rather than bringing the rest up to their level through decades of struggle and correcting mistakes and problems one at a time, they have their heads firmly buried in their asses, sniffing and delighting in the essence of their own BS. Check out those self righteous morons on Indian media. The main political talking heads and of course the dedicated propagandists. Hey it works well for them but reality will not be denied much longer.
Those farmer strikes will become a norm because
they refuse to respect the real world and the real truths within it. They prefer to play the anglo mind control game but without western technological dominance, institutions, development or wealth. While Americans may be swayed one way or another with social engineering programs, vast majority of Indians are thinking about where and how to make their next rupee. No government cheques are coming their way and they die walking thousands of kilometers because their government and their nation cannot even provide adequate PAID transport options as soon as some small upset happens. Fragility at an unfathomable level until it was shown last year.
None of those delusions and games are sustainable. As blundering as the CCP sometimes is, one excellent thing about the CCP is their undeniable understanding of what things are important, what dangers require addressing when and how to go about organising their resources in addressing those social problems. Turns out socialists
can be effective in combating the horrors of under-development.
The better side of Indian politics like Shashi Tharoor prefer to also dwell in the arena of modern western liberal group think topics. He's an intellectual and an eloquent orator but development and taking the right path require men with conviction and the balls to pull it all off without the sort of bitchiness that the western world seems to prefer these days. India is caught between devoting time and resources to the cat fighting (for its liberals and left) and acting hard (for its Jai Hinds) but not having the development for the former or the material and capabilities for the latter. But of course it does according to all sorts of Indians. India is greatest democracy freedom super nice sweet never violent goooooru lovers and also Tejas is raptor^lightning II of the east and India already has the best nukes and the fastest hypersonics.
