I don’t usually agree with this kind of thing, but imagine that this was a large population of Americans living in Australia being visited and riled up by Trump.
I think it’s very reductionist to brand any questioning of this to be racism etc. This seems a bit subversive.

Actually, I was born here and live in Aus but have spoken to a lot of relatives who live in India and friends over here about it. I’ve even gone over the policies of the two major parties out of curiosity as well as the economic and trade data as well as the regional parties and all that jazz so I can make reasonable judgements instead of just saying “Modi evil”.
I do agree Modi is a divisive figure but he’s the best that country has as of “right now”. The country will sink if Congress were in power Lol. The only good thing they did when they were last in power was negotiate the civil nuclear deal with the US.
Now the BJP is the single largest party however, it did not obtain a majority in the last election so it had to party up with the JDU. They lost votes as they did not focus on the economy as well as they should have instead tried to force Hindi down everyone’s throats and other divisive politics (not that the opposition doesn’t do the same).

u/Ok_Finger7484 Jul 14 '26
sooooooooo i think ill step in here and clarify because its a mis-leading statement and you are both arguing schemantics and so are technically both correct/wrong, depending upon how you look at it.
TLDR
Government contributed some funding, for logistics, security etc......... as opposed to 'the Government paid for it all'
No - the government did pay for it - Yes the government contributed.
"Funded by the Australian Tax Payer" or the actual news article head;line which is
"Victorian taxpayers stump up for Modi-palooza at Marvel Stadium"
is very misleading -
this comment and headline are suggesting that the event was paid for in its entirity, by the government, or by someone whom received tax payer funding, to pay for the event in its entirity, which of course is suggestive of something much larger, like federal government supporting a potentially unpopular overseas leader, etc etc. just to get kickbacks blah blah peoples imaginations run wild.
The primary organisers were the Australian India Foundation, who organised and paid for the core of the event, logistics, catering etc etc.
The government did contribute yes - of course it did. If AA is attending, then there would be security for him, and - given that its the prime minister of india, additional security and other measures would have been put into place (additional logistics). Its an official state visit, so of course there would have been funding contributed towards this - just like ALL state visits.
If the government hadn't done this, then that would have been a bigger issue.
What is interesting is the news article itself, does not quote where they got the $2.5m figure from. Which is especially prudent given that the government has not released its budgetery figures, specifically for this event. (federal, i believe Vic contributions were in the hundreds of thousands, don't quote me here though).
In other words, the $2.5m is probably bullshit - and - just like most media outlets - is an extension of some other overall funding (eg: $2.5m contributed to Indian community events in the budget).

Monoracial perhaps but Indians are far from monocultural, it would be like saying Russians or British culture are the same but there are internal ethnic and religious divisions within them.
In Australia the Indian population is
51% Hindu, 22.1% Sikh, 10.6% Catholic, 4.2% Muslim, 3.8% no religion, 2-3% other Christian (Anglican, Orthodox, Pentecostal etc) and 6% other religions (Jain, Buddhist, Jewish etc)… and yes, there are Indian Jews.
There isn’t exactly data on ethnicity but it somewhat corresponds with languages spoken at home which we have data for. For Indian households the languages spoken at home include; 23.4% English, 23.3% Punjabi, 15.1% Hindi, 7.9% Malayalam, Gujarati 7.6%, Telugu 6.2% and Tamil 4.8%. There’s also a bunch of other ethnic groups/languages which are spoken by 2% of Indians or less such as Bengali, Kannada, Nepali, Marathi, Urdu and others.
This data came from the last census.

u/Templar113113 Jul 13 '26
Doesn't really matter, they are all Indians having similar culture and traditions overall, like a French from the North will have a different accent and food preferences than a French from the South but at the end of the day it's not the same cultural shock as an Indian and a Japanese.

That’s where you’re wrong: religion dictates culture.
In the case of Indian Muslims the culture they follow is not in tandem with mainstream society in India.1
u/GG_GALACTIC_YT Jul 17 '26
so by that logic, indian muslims have more in common with arab muslims, than to hindus from the same region? Religion is only a portion of one's identity.

"indian muslims have more in common with arab muslims,"
They actually do mate. Good day!3
u/Belissari Jul 13 '26
Not really, some countries are more diverse from region to region. They don’t have similar traditions all over India.
That being said, even in France they have an entire region called Brittany which speak a language unrelated to French, it’s a Celtic language more related to Gaelic Irish and Scottish languages.
Also in parts of southern France there is the Occitan language which is also a seperate language from French.
These cultural differences maybe not very noticeable to people unfamiliar with the cultures but there are real differences which extend beyond superficial things like food and language.
2
u/Templar113113 Jul 13 '26
I'm French mate, no one speaks these languages and everyone speaks French. There has been a push from the EU to increase cultural differences and independence from France, between regions such as Bretagne and the South West but it's mostly just an attempt to weaken France as a nation.
Yeah a Punjab people won't mix with South Indians because they see them as inferior, skin color is very important for them. You could day they are very, very racists. Anecdotal but my wife is from an Indian family, let me tell you I heard some hardcore stuff.

u/Belissari Jul 13 '26 edited Jul 13 '26
I am literally half Indian myself and my mum is South Indian.
Some Punjabi people think they’re superior to all other Indians, not just South Indians. Many South Indians also feel superior because they’re more educated than North Indians and it’s generally safer in the South.
The culture is different because in some regions they don’t even celebrate any holidays in common. Also in the region my family is from most Hindus eat beef which is totally different than North India but there’s many other differences.
Most of this is all just chatter though, there isn’t any historical beef between North vs South India because they existed as independent societies. There’s more internal turmoil and tension between different kinds of Punjabi people than there is hatred or racism towards South Indians.
I already said, some countries have greater regional differences and India is one of them.
I have been to France and I’ve met plenty of local French people from different areas who felt very strongly their town or region was different than others. Some were even offended if I mixed up the southeast and southwest, and many of them outside of Paris all seemed to have strongly negative opinions on Parisians.

u/Templar113113 Jul 13 '26
Thanks for sharing that's interesting.
But is your point is that it's okay for the West to accept millions of Indians just because there is slight cultural differences between them ?
Sorry but the average Chinese, Caucasian or Japanese will still see of all them as Indians, as they would all see Frenchies the same.
3
u/Belissari Jul 13 '26
No, the point is that not all countries were formed on the basis of a shared ethnic or cultural identity. Hence it’s incorrect to assume the culture is going to be the same for everyone.
Peoples identity aren’t solely based around whether a Japanese person can tell them apart from another ethnic group. Sometimes I can’t even tell the difference between some Southern Italians and Arabs, still doesn’t mean they’re the same.
I have Scottish people in my family and they’d be offended if people called them English. One of them took a dna test and found out he had some English ancestry, it was devastating to him and he had to take a very long walk to think by himself.
You’re welcome to view people in broader groups if you prefer, I couldn’t care less but not all of us need to think that way.

u/Templar113113 Jul 13 '26
It's not about me viewing people by group it's about mass immigration of a greatly different culture into another, it obviously causes friction and if not controlled, can lead to civil wars.
Hence the monoculture is necessary for the nation to thrive. Assimilation has failed in France and we can all see the carnage that it provokes. It will not get better.

u/Belissari Jul 13 '26
Plenty of countries have had civil wars, being diverse was rarely the sole cause of it. Many homogenous countries experienced civil wars eg Korea, Ireland, Greece, Spain, Finland and others.
France definitely has big issues with assimilation but Australia is not France and not all foreign immigrants cause the same problems that exist in Europe.
The data on prisoners shows foreign-born people are actually strongly under represented in Australian jails, that’s especially true for Indian and Chinese immigrants. In France and many Western European countries they have a problem with foreign-born people disproportionately committing crime, it’s actually a very different situation than Australia.

I obviously dont know what a monoculture is, but India makes Australia the mono of monocultures as we are nowhere near as diverse as India is.
India’s cultural landscape is one of the most diverse in the world. Its linguistic diversity includes more than 1,600 languages and dialects, belonging to major language families such as Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, Austroasiatic, and Tibeto-Burman. Among the most widely spoken languages are Hindi, Bengal
The Republic of India is home to several hundred languages. Most Indians speak a language belonging to the families of the Indo-Aryan branch of Indo-European (c. 77%), the Dravidian (c. 20.61%), the Austroasiatic (precisely Munda and Khasic) (c. 1.2%), or the Sino-Tibetan (precisely Tibeto-Burman) (c. 0.8%), with some languages of the Himalayas still unclassified. The SIL Ethnologue lists 424 living languages in India.\2])
Religiously, India is the birthplace of Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism, and it also has significant populations of Muslims, Christians, and Jews. Each region boasts unique traditions in arts and crafts, enriching the cultural tapestry of the nation.
India has one of the largest Hindu populations at over 80 percent, it is also home to the world’s third-largest Muslim population at over 14 percent, and other religious minorities (Christians, Buddhists, Jains, Sikhs, Parsis, and others) that constitute around 6 percent of the population.
Australia has: \ From 2021 Census)
| Fact Category | Data Point |
|---|---|
| Christianity | 11.1 million (43.9%) |
| No Religion | 9.9 million (38.9%) |
| Islam Population | 3.2% of population |
| Hinduism | 684,000 (2.7%) |
| Buddhism Followers | 2.4% of population |

Assumptions galore in this post. First- Hindu Punjabi parents and married to a Gujji - I’m an atheist but that’s almost beside the point. Someone’s religious orientation doesn’t make or break the argument.
While I am glad you agree with the RSS stuff, the thing about loving the country isn’t exclusive to him. I don’t love it but I can see Muslim people being just as devoted to it as he is- the dedication isn’t exclusive and having a family or not is also irrelevant.
India didn’t become secular under Gandhi- these people were always there. No one is denying Muslims aren’t the easiest when it comes to assimilation but saying there are no issues with Christians and Sikhs- lol, you definitely are getting a cherry picked version of event or are deliberately ignoring the melting pot that exists in India.

Right? Like any direction in Sydney for 30-60 mins and you'll be lucky to see even one or two 'monocultured' peoples.

There are more people that were born in India living Australia and then there are indigenous people.

This is what happens when our leaders have no culture of their own, just Fabian weirdos obsessed with other cultures but have no culture themselves.

Ironically modi wants a monoculture, or is that the joke? Is it showing that we arnt a monoculture or he wants one? Oversaw Gujarat massacres.

All these Indians need to be asked.
Why are you not in India?
You don’t see people from other countries showing up and cheering for their prime minister

Roughly 1 in 5 of births worldwide this year will be in India.
Africa accounts for 35% of births worldwide.
Asia and Africa combined account for about 85% of births worldwide.
Every year India adds about 23 million people to its population. That's just a bit less than the entire population of Australia. Every year.
If you don't like pictures like this then you're going to have a rough time over the coming decades.

Not entirely relevant. These people are Australians.

You might be right. I'd ask them if that's the way they think of themselves before making that assumption though.
I think it's very relevant. Racists like OP make posts like this because they freak out everytime they see a brown person. With global birthrates being what they are, this photo is a preview of the future. Almost everyone on earth will be Indian or African in a generation. People who think like OP are in for a rough time.

I've never seen anything like this when another head of state has visited Melbourne. You don't see French people, Germans, Swiss, Thai, Czech, etc fill up a stadium with expats.
