It has an interesting history and the amount of cultural diversity is fascinating. However, there’s a 99% chance I’ll never go there because of all the horrible stuff I have heard: misogyny, poverty, scammers, pretty damn serious child abuse, once again misogyny and poverty.
And caste system.
I visited in 2018. Fun trip. Lots of rain. Horrible drainage. Traffic was so bad that I ended up walking a half mile in knee-high water in the rain back to my hotel because the taxi wasn’t moving.
Oh, and I got a taste of what it feels like to be a minority. People not wanting to serve me or charging me more for services. My hotel tried to charge me for my room that my work had already paid for. Once they saw I was white, they asked for more money. I think everyone needs to experience this so they know what people have to deal with literally every day of their lives.
Oh, my favorite part was how bad the power lines were tangled up.
Sadly its 100 % true
Being a tourist doesn’t make you a minority. Being singled out for being white doesn’t mean you don’t have white privilege.
This is silly. “White” Europeans are a global minority, and certainly are in India! If you can afford to travel to India as a tourist, you certainly have wealth privilege - is this what you mean?
Having not been there I dont really know enough to form an opinion of such a huge country that contains such a diversity of cultures, but it does seem to be struggling with severe overpopulation which is at the root of many of its isssues
How over population can cause issues ?
Lack of adequate infrastructure for handling things like sanitation, transportation, and education (to name just a few) for so many people.
Its because the bad government rule india
Lack of resources, poverty, disease, stress, aggression, pollution. There isnt really a problem out there that overpopulation doesnt make worse
I’ve never been to India. Unfortunately I’ve heard mostly negative things:
- Rampant rape of women
- Too much garbage
- Smells bad
- Treating anyone non-Indian badly or will try to take advantage of them financially
- Overcrowded
- Poverty
- Low wages
- Culture that puts down women / treats them much lower than men instead of being equal
These only at a certain point. There is more good things to talk about india.
Nice food, too much poverty and stressed, competitive people.
As someone who actually lives here.
Good things include: nice food, diverse places to travel to, socialist programmes to support poor people so they don’t die of hunger, simple lifestyle, fast internet connection, okayish job market.
Bad things: a huge population means lots of criminals as well, politicians here loot the poor, the cities are fucked with lots of people, little space to hangout, public transport sucks, culturally regressive society in regards to individual, women and trans rights, people are becoming more violent, Hindu vs Muslim bullshit rather than focus on making things better.
I rate 2.7/5.
EDIT: /s
This is a joke right?
Yes, it is.
Few…
Wait, did you meant my post or the website? Because I’m not so sure if the website design’s is a joke on purpose or not. Haven’t checked that.
I meant the website. it is hilarious. The stretched photos!! I cannot stop laughing.
Oh god i hope its fake, else i just insulted some guys life work.
Do you mean phew?
A country full of people that absolutely have to get off the plane RIGHT NOW! The plane is back on the ground! Why aren’t we off the plane RIGHT NOW! Nevermind the fact that it’s still moving, we have to get off NOW!
Well I don’t want to get all controversial about it but the thing about India is it’s a country in South Asia with a land area of approximately 3.3 million square kilometers and a population of roughly 1.4 billion. And that might be a hot take, but also we have to keep in mind its primary exports are petroleum goods and textiles. Don’t even get me started on how its borders are the Indian Ocean, the Arabian Sea, and the Bay of Bengal.
Fuck, that’s very sobering.
Fake news.
People say they want the truth but they can’t handle the truth!
It’s crazy when you put all those things together. But that’s just literally how it is.
Once you realize how the dots connect to make a border, it just all comes together.
Can you please elaborate? I’m drawing blank here.
OC, above me, doesn’t really have any opinions about India so they’ve stated facts about it like they are opinions.
I just went with the joke.

Yes, and you have to remember that the situation there is so volatile due to the factors involved.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

Irrelevant as european, i will never travel in probably. India to me its just a storybook word, a place that exist only in imagination.
Getting worse thanks to the news I receive being a drip-feed of violent gang rapes and increasingly worrying politics. I’m sure that’s very biased and incorrect, but I wish I heard better things.
Don’t travel during monsoon season.
My entire knowledge about India comes from The Big Bang Theory. So I’m likely not the right person to comment.
I don’t really know enough to have an informed opinion, but the first thing that came to mind is the news articles I’ve seen that Uttar Pradesh is very unfriendly towards women. There is an article that just got posted in the news community today that is pretty horrifying.
