What I Learned About India (Sadly, Negative)
India, as i learned a lot in past 5 years, i have negative impression.
Let me list them.
They turned out to be pretty poor, and uneducated.
My indian followers, many teens, showed that, indians seem to be pretty concerned about their image to westerners, and eager to prove they know stuff, but when they clash, they actually don't know stuff (in coding, or non-tech), made them look worse.
Many indian coders in usa, silicon valley, i have worked with a lot back in y2k. (back then i don't know anything about india nor have views) Looking back, it seems, they are never innovative, or lead coders, they just follow standard practice. And from past 10 years encountering Indian coders (e.g. at Google), again, they seems to be sensitive about how good they are but at best just average.
Oddly, lots of tech scams are from India, and tons of SEO scams, i get email from them about SEO every month since 2010 or so.
There are many top indian CEO in usa, e.g. Google, Microsoft, twitter, adobe, etc. But they seems to be obedient deep state puppets. E.g. They promoted sjw, trans, black lives matter, anti white, anti christian, cutting children etc, during the sjw decade. They never innovate or lead. (Nikki Haley and Kamala Harris are examples in pol.)
Also, turns out, indians seem to be supporting israel in geno. And many of the anonymous pop accounts on twitter promoting Western Culture, Trump, or promoting Israel, are actually from India. (apparantly, they hate muslims and Pakistan)
India as a country, 20 years ago it's thought china russia india gonna be big powers. Turns out india is way behind.
Politically, india half of the time is a usa puppet, support usa killing and robbing other countries.
And i spend some time to look at India in recent years (e.g. On Wikipedia), seems, india is pretty fractured, lots problems. Tens of languages, tens of religions, and lots mutual hatred. Also, seems the racial caste system is deep rooted in Hinduism (or associated religions).
There seems to be lots corruption in India politics too. e.g. bribery.
