Date: March 23rd, 2018 8:16 PM Author: fragrant location the shittiest parts of india are the parts that the british only nominally controled, like rajasthan (which was ruled by the eponymous intermediary rajas during the british rule).
goa, the most colonialized place in india, is also the most developed. the three most christianized regions in the country score the highest in development measures: goa, kerala, and the northeastern region. other than being highly christianized (and therefore westernized) these three states have little in common. |
|
Date: March 23rd, 2018 8:22 PM Author: Alcoholic soul-stirring preventive strike national This is actually not true. The most industrialized states are Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, and Punjab (or Maharashtra). Kerela has been run by the communists for years now. So, for those of you railing about socialism or whatever, I don't think Kerela is what you want to hold up as an example. Kerala is developed not because of the Christians but because of foreign remittances of its expats from the Arab Gulf countries. The Northeast is also a mess though that isn't as much a fault of Northeasterners as it is of Bangladeshi immigrants. Goa has good tourist infrastructure so people might think it is developed. But in terms of other industries there isn't much there. Also Goa wasn't ruled by the Brits but by the Portuguese. An important point for the anglo-saxon supremacists among us.

industrialization isn't the same as non-shithole status. look at russia. industrialized, but a shithole. either way, the level of industrialization in even the most "industrialized" indian states is lulzy.
as far as goa, it was colonized for the longest period by westerners and was the most westernized, and is today one of the least shitty parts of india.
as far as keralan "communists," ljl |

Turns out a primitive agrarian lifestyle is actualy total hell compared to the worst industrial existance.

Shitlibs love that shit.
No multinational is moving to Kerela or the northeast. Or Goa for that matter. That should tell you something. Yeah these are good touristy places I guess. Though Rajasthan can't be beat when it comes to touristy things to see. But these are not some awesome bastions that you think they are. |

Date: March 23rd, 2018 9:29 PM Author: aphrodisiac heaven from what i've read, it kind of USED to be like that in japan - ie, if you weren't a member of an important family/clan, you were just a peasant who could be killed or enslaved by the local lords. japan didn't really develop a sense of national identity until the Tokugawa shogunate. my understanding is that this development weakened japan's caste system so that complete caste immobility gradually ended.
in turn, that meant that caste markers centered around behavior and class more than pure descent. so if you were a street-shitting peasant, you were "burakumin," but if you behaved better, you weren't seen that way. |
