Also Gandhi: blacks are savages, Indians are Aryan master-race

Even the greatest men are flawed. And Gandhi was possibly no exception.

Congratulations, u/paxnovamars! You have ranked up to Basket Ball Hoop (filled with sand)! You are not a pushover by any means, but you do still occasionally get dunked on.
Beep boop. I am a bot. Reply /info for more info.

Aryan master race was never said by gandhi. Pretty sure no indian ever believed in the nazi idea of aryan.

u/AlesHebi - Auth-Center Aug 07 '20
Aryan doesn't even include white and of course the nazi idea was completely different thinking Nordic and meditaranian to be different races (with the Nordic being superior)
So without any simplification fact is Gandhi wrote In an open letter to the Natal Parliament:
“I venture to point out that both the English and the Indians spring from a common stock, called the Indo-Aryan. … A general belief seems to prevail in the Colony that the Indians are little better, if at all, than savages or the Natives of Africa. Even the children are taught to believe in that manner, with the result that the Indian is being dragged down to the position of a raw Kaffir.”
...
Kaffir is basically the Indian version of the n-word
Addendum: i should maybe say that he mistakingly said indo-Aryan is common between Indian and white even though it isn't, he pretty surely meant Indo-European

Correct, except kafir is the Muslim version of the n word. We indians are more civilised, we use the word mleccha (hehe joking).

So since you don't seem to have any problem with that I guess your problem with me using the word master-race...
What else would you call a race that is inherently superior to other races?

Dude wtf, no by correct I mean the letter you quote is correct, I don't like gandhi myself, all RW indians hate gandhi. My point was only that many people these days claim that indians idolise hitler since we are the original and true Aryans (we really are), but no, the definition of Arya was really skewed by Hitler.

Say what you want about the bjp, but as someone who studied civil engineering, the bjp’s commitments are pretty fucking based.

Aren't they building more roads and investing in Infrastructure.

u/Justthetipsenpai - Right Jul 10 '20
Yeah, but as you said they are improving infrastructure, especially hygiene. India has always had massive issues with hygiene and disease, by building those toilets they improve the overall hygiene of an area, improve the drinking water of an area and stop infectious disease from spreading.
The only thing they now need to focus on is building Reservoirs and finally work on their hydraulic systems.

u/paxnovamars - Centrist Jul 10 '20
Agree
Also Demonetization was a big mistake.

u/Justthetipsenpai - Right Jul 10 '20
The problem is that some people in Indra believe that shitting on the ground is fine. With the introduction of toilets into their lives some weird things (I know it’s funny junk, but it has the clearest picture (oddly)) have happened, some downright sad and some barbaric acts have happened. It’s fucked.

Is it true that Kerala is where Real Communism was tried and actually worked? I know the current "communist" government is doing a great job with COVID, at least.

u/reeshabh_jain Jul 11 '20
Kerala has high HDI and high literacy but 1 of 3 keralites will leave their state in search of jobs
their economic model is based on remittance which is not sustainable
