Did you forget Modi publicly supporting Trump's 2020 presidential bid with "Abki baar Trump sarkar!" and a beaming Trump by his side and a stadium full of cheering Indian-Americans?

@givesomefucks : This was in September 2019 when Indian Americans hosted a 'Howdy Modi' event .

Indians discriminate within their own families between those who have fairer skin & darker skin tones. The experiences that Black people have in India are very different from those experienced by White people. You can find out by asking around in travel forums
We are extremely racist, classist, and casteist, but are good at pretending not to be while living in developed countries.

Unless of course, you're lgbtq, or a woman, or an atheist, or a member of another religion, or anyone they don't like really.

so does Hinduism. We're discussing caste here though, which does not exist in Christianity and Islam.

Oppressor uppercaste Indians want democratic values, secularism, and affirmative action in countries where they are a minority so that they can benefit from those policies. Where they'hold the reigns of power, they want casteism, religious extremism, and patriarchy.

The real caste in the USA is the poverty line and exploitation inherent to capitalism

that's a class issue .

This is one way places like India, where caste is a prominent social component, have something of an advantage.

India's oppressed castes will disagree. Oppressor uppercastes not only have no problems inflicting barbaric violence on the oppressed castes , they also face minimal to no negative consequences for their crimes.

Here's a recent days old example where a 20-year old Dalit youth and the three young children with him were beaten up, urinated on, and hung upside down. The perps, all oppressor upper caste men, recorded the atrocities they were commiting and circulated its video which should tell you how sure the oppressor castes are of their crimes being taken lightly. The police only filed a report against them after the video they made went viral. They make and circulate such videos as caste pride and to humiliate and terrorie the oppresed castes even more.

Oppressor castes too have their sociapolitical spheres who act vocally &sometimes silently to ensure caste oppession foes unpunished. Oppressor castes are wealthier, have greater political representation, and almost all in positions of power are fromthe oppressor upper castes. which is why even after 77 years of Independence, caste atrocities are rampant in India.

This may seem odd to someone accustomed to a caste dominated system, but here in the USA, this will likely only really apply to a situation where the plaintiff and defendant are both from a culture where caste is an established legal issue.

Caste discrimination is a problem in every place where oppressor upper castes come across those who they think should be oppressed, both inside India and outside. It is a global problem, but not discussed much because most of the diaspora Indians who are vocal and visible are also mostly from the oppressor upper castes.

will you make a post on your blog complaining that no one on lemmy want your poop, and then post it on reddit?

In India, Dalits have been attacked and killed by the oppressor uppercastes for sporting a moustache, wearing sunglasses, riding a bike, etc.

A week back in Tamil Nadu, India, a Dalit student was attacked by his fellow students for studying well - https://www.newsclick.in/tn-dalit-student-attacked-studying-well-anti-caste-groups-ring-alarm. A group of high school students broke into his home and hacked him with a sickle.

Caste based crimes abound in India and caste-based discrimination is rife even among Indians outside India. A couple of months back in another state Madhya Pradesh, an Adivasi man was urinated on by a Brahmin member of the ruling political party, the BJP.

India has a law to fight casteist oppression and violence against Dalits & Adivasis called the Prevention of Atrocities against SC/ST Act. But those in charge of implementing this law are themsselves from the oppressor upper castes. So the law is rarely applied even though caste atrocities abound.

Laws preventing caste discrimnation, like this one and the one passed in Seattle, are essential to ensuing basic human dignity to all, Pro-Hindu groups oppose anti-discrimination efforts.

Caste oppression is not confined to 'a state in a country'. Every pusbback against casteism a win for humanity everywhere,, hence this news is in worldnews.

Is brave sir Putin bravely running away?

Nice one!

DARVO (Deny, Attack, Reverse Victim and Offendor) or projection?

Hinduism doesn't say Hindus are all equal. Christianity and Islam do. There are no castes in Christianity or Islam, and that is the reason many from the oppressed castes renounced Hinduism and accepted those religions. It's also one of the many reasons why Hindu supremacists hate those religions.

You'll be suprised, Many are good at wearing a progressive mask in public and behaving otherwise in private.

Anyone who is under the impression that Indian-Americans are progressive & hate discrimination needs to know that Indian-Americans carry within them the oppressive caste system that they've been trained into by their families & communities since birth.

Even those born outside India are trained into & practice caste oppression. Since developed countries look down on discrimination, so caste atrocities are carried out behind closed doors and in devious ways. Indian newcomers to college/ work place are asked their full name, because the last name/ surname is a caste marker. They're invited to a pool party to check whether they wear the Brahmin caste thread, or a friendly hand is placed on their left shoulder to check whether they're wearing the Brahmin caste thread under their clothes. Once info on their caste is gathered, they'll either be welcomed as one of 'ours' or severely discriminated against by the oppressor upper castes a discreetly as possible.

Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar, a victim of caste oppression, India's first Law Minister, and the architect of India's Constitution had said this "If Hindus migrate to other regions on earth, Indian caste would become a world problem"

They want to keep harrassing, humilitating, and persecuting people because the alternative is to accept that all humans are indeed equal which means their claim to superiority and pure-veg purity is & has been just b.s . It also means they and their casteist friends and their casteist families and their casteist ancestors are sadistic bastards without a shred of humanity.

The Nazis implemented their Ubermensch-untermensch discrimination for only 12 years, India's oppresor uppercastes perfected it thousands of years back. Christianity & Islam fucked up their systemised sadistic game by introducing the idea of equality, educating the oppressed, and offering them a way out of the oppressive Hindu caste system.
