So, I have been both working, studying, and spent leisure time in India about a year in total. I lived for 6 months outside New Delhi in the slums. Made interview among tribes and people displaced by established nature tourism. Together with my wife. Been to tourist spots as well.
Yea you are kind of like a bunch of school kids sometimes. Just a bit scarier. I only encountered the grandiose self image besides India in the US.
My wife could not be alone a second.
The fascist Hindu nationalism is awful to see , for a western fascist probably laughable.
Just to be plain:
You think India is best in all the ways , for an outsider it’s like a bunch of people throwing everything in a pile and letting the strongest win.
Just the amount of people trying to prove forced marriage is so much better than the possibility for divorce or just marry who you want.
Of course different rules based on caste , one of my Indian friends who is kind of famous in the movie business still have a hard time based on his last name and actually trying to do some good in India.
The ads in your papers sounds like you selling cows rather than your sisters and daughters.
Don’t get me wrong there are great people , great movements and great things in India.
But overall WTF…
Today I would not return for leisure unless to visit friends there.
Well, that explains a lot. Of all the places you could’ve gone to, you chose Delhi, an anti-diverse, generally regressive society, which most Indians from other parts of the country avoid with a burning passion.
Not Mumbai, Chennai, Bengaluru or Kochi. Not Ooty, Shimla, Kozhikode, Mangaluru, Mysuru, Vishakapatnam, Lonavla or Nagpur.
Based on that one single experience, you generalized the entire country. That’s not fair?
Not really I did some work there. I also been around in both the north and the south. So you kind of just assumed stuff. Most my work I did in madhya pradesh.

Madhya Pradesh is not “South”. Anything below Maharashtra is South India. The name Madhya itself means central. You reduced the entire population of India to the poor attitude towards caste-ism and woman’s right that is prevalent in Hindi belt.
Yea I travelled quite a lot , spent as much time in Kerala as I could when writing , but fieldwork included quite a lot of not so nice places. Including everything from government officials to displaced villages. In Banglore I only saw offices and traffic unfortunately since lack of time. But made some stops along the way in-between southern Kerala and banglore. Drove a bike so very interesting trip.
Mysuru province (not just the city Mysuru, but also areas involving Bengaluru and other neighboring areas) would be a nice case-study on language supremacy. Comparing that area with Karavali (Konkani area), Tulu Nadu (Tulu area) or Kodagu (Kodava area) should explain the attitude of majoritarians towards the minorities in the joke of a cluster they call Karu Nadu, or Karnataka.

How’s your reading capabilities? Try again , notice “most” “and”. Read slowly. Kerala was sure better but still my wife never went anywhere alone.
Sorry, my bad. I had to make that assumption since you did not provide the name of cities you’ve been to at the South.
