in 1991 it is expected 11% of the Subcontinent retained the ability to communicate in English in some ways.That is a larger number than the entirety of the U.K. itself, and culturally they are only out for themselves first and foremost.Sure it seemed innocent enough when it took capital and travel time for any of those people to communicate with us, but digitalization and the increase of communication technology since then now lets these former British Asian colonies extract large amounts of wealth from all Western citizens. An actual creating your maker type moment.
Nope, the United States is.

>>18427726How can one colonial possession (with three descendant states) be so cursed?
>>18428349Four, akshually. If you count the gulf states it's more like seven.The reason is clearly that south East Asia has been cursed with ancient babylonian magic.

>>18428015>commie nehruThe most developed state in India is Kerala.Hindutva fascists are just incompetent
>>18428363Yeah forgot about Burma. Endless civil war since 1948. Thank you Rakesh and Suleiman
>>18428015>into an enemy country is beyond imaginatioNot this shit again.Because at the time, thanks to the fall of the Soviet Union, Taiwan transitioning to Democracy, the West- euphoric over their Cold War win and drunk on End of History-ism, convinced themselves that all you need to do to get to Democracy was to start making people rich and educated.And the Corporations looking to make the most money from it let these ideas float around cause they were about to get a lot of money from China.
>>18428015China wasn't an enemy country any more than India was in the 1980s. You can make a strong argument that China was actually MORE friendly towards the US than India. India and the US have a long history of being deeply suspicious towards each other. Indians saw the Americans as reckless, greedy, souped-up, pro-Pakistani Anglo Saxons (no prizes as to why they disliked Anglo influence) and the Americans saw them as potentially ripe for Domino Theory Communist expansion. China in the 1970s and 1980s was also heavily anti-Soviet and the US from Nixon onwards was quite pleased at the prospect of the Russians having to deal with a swarm of several hundred million screaming Chinamen rushing their Siberian border. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Qc8jJ0TjSY

>>18429231>What is the Korean War?a war that happened in the '50s. International scene looked quite different in about half a generation.
>>18429232What is COVID-19 and the tariff wars?
>>18429235>What is COVID-19 and the tariff wars?events that took place well after the PRC made the shift from friend during the late Cold War to an enemy in the 2010s. do people have to babysit you through looking up the date of everything that's ever happened before this often, moron?
