https://foreignpolicy.com/2019/05/24/modis-message-was-simple-hindus-first/quote:In Ranchi, a 24-year-old job seeker told me he hated “all politicians except one.” I didn’t even need to ask who. He said it wasn’t Modi’s fault that he remains jobless even though he has a degree in software engineering. “What can he do?” said the young man, a member of the traditionally discriminated-against Dalit caste. He refused to believe that unemployment hit a 45-year high under Modi’s regime. “That’s not true,” he said. He also said he was sure that fewer jobs were available in the pre-Modi government led by the Indian National Congress party. “Not true,” I said. He said a man has to blame himself if he can’t find a job, not the government. “Not everyone is eligible for a job,” he said. Then he left. materialism is dead

get that OUT of my face posted:what i'm getting at is that many indian-americans would never vote for an american version of Modi but they love the one in the old country Yeah I get it. I'm guessing that the disconnect arises for several reasons. That national politics of the home country are "exceptional" to America's, or that to be an American you need to observe our "constitutional values" like disestablishmentarianism but that doesn't apply to the home country. Or that having a strong man in power in the home country who will make the nation strong is good, but having a strong man in power in the US is bad because I guess America is already strong? Nationalist sentiment just ends up throwing all logic out the window because it works on peoples' sense of pride and power, but if they start thinking about what it means for themselves as "free people" and American citizens then it doesn't sound so great.

Or that having a strong man in power in the home country who will make the nation strong is good, but having a strong man in power in the US is bad because I guess America is already strong? the partition was an absolutely loving gigantic clusterfuck. every indian over the age of 40 was either directly affected by it, or their parents/immediate relatives were. so every single nonmuslim indian of that age grew up with the overwhelming sentiment of hating the brits, hating the muslims, and hating the brits again. the ones that moved over are basically stuck in a snapshot of that timeframe: an unprepared, incompetent, and corrupt government trying to manage massive amounts of sectarian violence. Modi's platform is almost tailor made to appeal to this view, which is (maybe unsurprisingly) much stronger in people who left. whenever ive talked to a 'modi supporter' the conversation has inevitably turned into "well sure all of his policies suck and he is a horrible conman, but that's every politician. i wouldn't vote for him but im glad hes sticking it to the muslims". unless they're republicans (they also go by their preferred euphemism "independents" now), in which case its full on #jaihind #nukepakistan

i say swears online posted:speaking of, congrats to donald trump for stripping india of its special trade status modi is a huge loving pussy. before the elections, this happened, because he didn't want to piss off his lumpen small business owner voter base i guess: https://www.pymnts.com/news/international/2018/modi-ecommerce-india-amazon/ quote:Under new rules imposed by the Indian government, eCommerce companies like Walmart-owned Flipkart Group and Amazon, will no longer be able to sell merchandise from companies in which they have an equity interest, or form exclusive agreements with sellers. which naturally pissed off the imperial center: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-...s-idUSKCN1PI1S6 and now the elections are over and he's going to back down! wow! almost as if his nationalism is a complete sham and he's going to let the US colonize India: https://www.ft.com/content/7f7bf9f8-8524-11e9-97ea-05ac2431f453 quote:The Indian commerce ministry said at the weekend that it wanted to “find a mutually acceptable way forward” and had offered concessions to US demands after the Trump administration said India would lose its favoured trade status.

The trade dispute has opened a rift between Mr Trump and Mr Modi at a time when the countries have been working closely together to counter China’s influence in the Indo-Pacific.
