One of the major yearly exams got leaked in India last month so the BJP has been trying to suppress that news for some weeks now.
So they’ve launched a racism campaign against China where Indian bot accounts have “discovered” a secretive caste system in China which apparently is worse than the Indian caste system.
They’re using two things to support their claims:
- Four Occupations System which has not existed for centuries
- Hukou system which is the Soviet Internal Passport system
This is just 100% cope to feel good about living in a failing state that is India.
It’s actually incredibly depressing because the conditions in India are dire and the collective delusion among a subset of the populace (ie Hindutva) makes one want to pull their pubes out. It’s a unique psychosis, a group of people swimming in a sea of poverty insisting they’re actually doing really well. Hard to even compare it to MAGA or the settler state of Israel. The only silver lining here is that it’s not particularly harmful to just the vulnerable minorities, in that these people manage to fuck over a vast majority of all Indians instead.
They ruin it for everyone, diaspora and other South Asians included. A communist revolution in this country is needed. I am more optimistic than most because the vast majority of India’s online presence is composed of the type of people who’d get overwhelmed by a Maoist style revolution should the peasant class in India be mobilized.
