    Is there a reason Reddit would side with one over the other? With Ukraine there’s the obvious Russia Bad explanation, is it cuz Pakistan is more Muslim than India?

      Justbfrom seeing what pops up on r/all seems like there’s a disproportionate Indian population on reddit.

      Disproportionate from the standpoint of an American website I mean. Obviously all other things being equal you’d expect to see a significant amount of Indian people anywhere. But I see multiple subreddits specifically about India showing up on main, and half the time when it’s in English it’s some of the most racist shit I’ve ever seen on reddit.

          Yup, but has a border dispute with China and China openly sells and develops weapons that have just thoroughly embarrassed India on the world stage. Im surprised there wasnt my more diplomatic fallout like when people found out HMS Prince of Wales was sank by an Argentinian Exocet missile produced in France.
