They are maps of Akhand Bharat, an ancient Hindu superpower that many in India today are trying to restore.

Personally I was always a fan of the version that included parts of Europe.
If you are going to create fan fiction maps, might as well max out right?
EDIT:
I forgot the ones that also included places like Canada, USA, and Guyana
Those are pretty hilarious as well.

Bharat technology turning the SEA countries into airborne flying fortresses above China. Wow.
Also Mongol Empire part 2? Wtf.
The one vaguely resembling a monitor lizard.
China deserves better feminist icons and less white worshipers. Feels like a failure in societal education and parental education honestly.
I understand people like to see Chinese diaspora (especially one going to a "prestigious" uni like Stanford) go back to support the mainland, but it is clear to anyone who's met her for even a second that she's a gen Z valley girl and in it for the fame. So the country shouldn't have spotlighted her in the first place. The fashion promos she did ended up being a PC way to push white and wasian beauty standards under the guise of national solidarity.
Here is an Indian temple dedicated to getting US visa. If you walk around it 108 times it has 100% success rate.

I see this all the time.
"Who would support for Trump?"
Nobody admits it yet who votes for him?
Oh, you forgot to include the Taiwanese fascists, HK nationalist roaches and neo IJA.
The problem last time was that fascism and colonialism was not sufficiently removed.
Another gem from a wannabe neocon/neolib regime lunatic propagandist:

The U.S. Navy isn’t just for fighting overseas or protecting the homeland. It’s also a basic tool of force projection, diplomacy, and protecting and regulating international trade. But today’s Navy is too small to meet the demands placed on it. As a result, traditional Navy tasks, such as enforcing sanctions, are far down the priority list. But this capability gap could be filled if we had the boldness to bring back privateers.
During the long response to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and the delusion of the peaceful rise of the People’s Republic of China (PRC), the U.S. Navy was allowed to atrophy. One tangible consequence: Today, America reportedly has — they’re all either in the Middle East, headed to the Middle East, or in various stages of training or repair.
Navies aren’t cheap. Modern ships take a long time to build — at least in the West; the PRC seems to be building dozens of warships quite quickly — and the U.S. defense industrial base needs billions to even begin to ramp up production. So our Navy will be too small for at least a decade.
Economic warfare has become a central component of international relations, though overused and ineffective unless assiduously enforced. The U.S. and its allies sanctioned Russia’s oil exports after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2022. To get around those sanctions, Russia operates a of oil tankers. These aging tankers sail without traditional insurance and with obscured ownership.
In February, the U.S. blacklisted 14 Russian tankers operated by Sovcomflot, a state-run shipping company. It doesn’t appear that the blacklisting has had any practical effect, as there is no record of any ship being impounded. But declaring sanctions and then not diligently enforcing them erodes U.S. credibility — and, with it, deterrence.
It was estimated that 196 tankers loaded with crude oil left Russian ports last December alone, with most of the ships flying flags of convenience from Panama, Gabon, and Liberia. As the ships pass near European powers, they’re often escorted by Russian warships, but then they’ll “” — turning off their transponders as they link up with other vessels to transfer the oil or offload it in ports where the adherence to rule of law is a bit spotty.
If the U.S. truly wants to shut down Russia’s ghost fleet, it should consider an old but effective tool: privateers. Bringing back privateers, sanctioned under the U.S. Constitution, to target the Russian ghost fleet can bolster national security while the U.S. fleet is rebuilt. This approach, grounded in historical precedent and legal framework, would enhance U.S. strategic flexibility, especially if paired with a policy that promoted American energy dominance...
Personal View:
IMHO, this is among the "best" ways to start a direct war between the neocon/neolib US and Russia. Escalating US piracy is NOT the solution.

And those privateer ships are going to be built where? Does it get through these numbskulls that China has over half of the shipbuilding production capacity in the world, and that much of the remainder is in South Korea and Japan i.e. within missile range from mainland China?
Russia has one of the largest submarine fleets in the world. They could simply resort to unrestricted submarine warfare. The US, Europe, Japan, and South Korea are all heavily dependent on maritime trade, while Russia is not.
At the same time Russia could build new oil & gas pipelines into China to divert some of their exports. Putin is already talking about building a parallel oil pipeline to the Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline through Mongolia for example.

President Trump endorses Chinese brand Anker power charger. Rumor has it that President Xi recommended it in 2017 and he has been hooked ever since.
