Without resorting to racism can anyone actually explain what causes this difference?Why is there such a stark contrast between the cleanliness in public spaces of Sri Lanka and India?
Probably Buddhism. Buddhism rejects caste and that makes them reliant on themselves to clean shit up instead of leaving everything to Dalit slaves.
Indians are the ancestors of gypsies.This should explain everything.
>>218238775I think that's too simple of an explanation
isn't sri lanka owned by china
>>218239017>It's not that gypsies are Indians it's that India is basically a country of 1.5 billion gypsies.MEIN GOTT, now I really get it. Holy shit.
>>218239041Maybe China should start owning India then.
>>218239018Religion determines so much of how a place works even subconsciously so maybe not.
>>218238775Also no cow and dung worship.
>>218239097maybe they will at some point. they debt-trapped sri lanka, they're doing the same with pakistan, they coup'd burma. india is surrounded by chinese vassals
>>218239017Sri Lankans are literally the same people, like the genetic difference between Indians on average and Sri Lankans is not even noticeable
>>218238701From what I've heard from Indian themselves it's because corruption is rampant at all levels so no one is there to punish it, people in power just fight to get their share of the cake.So obviously there isn't much money left to build roads and shit.Doesn't help that getting money illegally is seen as smart there, not shameful theft of your fellow countrymen. Izzat explains it.
>>218239274anon I'm Indian I've never heard of this concept of izzat and no other Indian I've ever met in my life has either before some chud discovered it in a dictionary or something it wasn't a relevant aspect of Indian culture whatsoever if you want to critically discuss issues with pride or whatever in India do it directly because some random bullshit word is not helping your case. I really don't get it
>>218239333benchod bloody poo in the loo
>>218239333Izzat is just a meme but it's popular here so many people know what it means and imply.In this case, an official in power that could get some bribes and refusing them would be considered a retard. He'll be proud to get this money and think it was the smart and honorable thing to do.Now imagine the results when it's what people think from top to bottom without anyone even thinking to denounce it.
>>218239017the one time you can sayno those are dalits not brahmin
>>218239333saaar do u think u are smart ??? do u! bloody son of basterd bich
>>218239265Nah. The sinhalese and sri-lankan tamils (mixed) cluster together genetically, but they're distinct from actual mainland tamils, and obviously by extension the wider Indian gene-pool.It's just that they look very similar.
>>218238701>what is 2+2? and don't give me that 4 bullshit
>>218239700smarter than you yes
India is a superpower but living in a superpower is not always fun
>>218239729this is total bullshit and you know it every single sri lankan, literally EVERY SINGLE person in the country, would not be questioned whatsoever as a native indian if they moved to india. there would be absolutely fucking zero cultural or even economic change if the entire fucking country moved into india overnight
Corrupt guberment means we cant clean the streets ourselves o algo
>>218238701Clean left a bit more and it'll pass as a first world street, remove the signs and you can pass it off as a Japanese street.
>>218238701>racismNigga Sri Lankans are like, Dravidian and shit. It's the Aryan DNA that makes Indians shitheads
>>218239274>>218239333Third worlders destory every country they come to. It's not an Indian-unique thing.
>>218242577it's actually quite impressive how clean sri lanka is despite crippling poverty
>>218238701Hinduism.
>>218242757Anon Naples and all of southern Italy is populated by Africans larping as Italians. I take your point but you could have used a better example.
>>218238701>Without giving the actual reason, can anybody explain this?
>>218238701It might have something to do with the fact that Sri Lanka is a physically smaller country. Also location matters quite a bit. A lot of countries prioritize development around their capital city because it's also their largest and most economically productive city and the center of their tax base.Where I live in California a lot of towns don't have sidewalks everywhere. Instead development is concentrated around the town hall and downtown areas.>>218239945I tried looking in Thoothukudi near the Basilica of Our Lady of the Snows and lost immediately. I figured a coastal community might be cleaner than somewhere in the interior.
>>218242544>every single sri lankan, literally EVERY SINGLE person in the country, would not be questioned whatsoever as a native indian if they moved to indiaJust semantics baradar, without question they will fit in (but so will burmese, tibetan, uyghurs, balochis, etc), but talking about genetics they do have a different genetic profile and composition of AASI, Iranian neolithic and steppe pastoral_mlba. Sinhalese are more western steppe-shifted and less AASI, oweing to distinct ancestry and gene-fllow from bengal and gujrat. And it can anecdotally be somewhat observed from their phenotypes.
>>218243687>>218239945alright then anons, tell me. would you personally find there to be any difference between sri lankans and indians?is this a sri lankan or an indian?
>>218244302the difference is inside the head.
>>218242598Huh. That explains the US dismal record overseas (Flipland, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Cuba).
>>218244302he looks Mexican
>>218238701Two cherrypicked images to drive a narrative. I'm sure the real India is nothing like that.>>218239945Here, a random google street view from India.https://maps.app.goo.gl/wn574mhVxSq6pbjR9As you can see it is very clean, no trash whatsoever, no street dogs, no fallen building rubble blocking half of the dirt street.
>>218238701If you really want something to think about, look at street videos of India from the 1980s or earlier. Much less garbage and shit on the roads too. Overpopulation is a factor but that alone can't explain why they love shitting on the streets and throwing trash everywhere.
>>218239265The streets say otherwise
>Why do the people who worship feces and rats live in such squalor?Gee I dunno such a mystery
>>218238701My belief is that India's central government has prioritized keeping India together over all other concerns, like improving it in any way. By keeping it together I mean preventing ethnic and religious populations breaking away to form their own countries and self-govern.The reason these ethnic and religious groups want to do that is they think they can manage the specific problems of their specific people in their specific region better than a central government who doesn't understand or care about their problems, people and region. That seems like very sensible autonomy to me.But the concept of "India" the very idea of it is inherited from the British colonial project of bringing together all these foreign weirdos purely to extract money for another distant society. So any "Indian" person who believes in "India" is just perpetuating a system that was only good for pacifying a huge bunch of retards so a small group of elites could sail off with wealth, except the British elites (who had a clear goal and sober priorities) have been replaced by the retards themselves (who don't even realise the purpose of their fake nation).So this Indian "elite" operates like a cargo cult, just mimicking the procedures of British colonial government without understand why it was done that way in the first place. This has resulted in India being a pathetic failson country after independence.This blind idiocy has then filtered down to all stratas of society. Any sensible, moral Indian would want to create a coherent, autonomous country to represent their own people instead of sending poop tithes to this Kafka-esque central government. Any sensible, immoral Indian would do anything to leave.So the only "Indians" who are loyal to the government or the concept of a combined Indian country are retards.
>>218245124The concept of an Indian state is so ancient that it existed before written history did even 2000 years ago someone in the Indian subcontinent would recognize themselves as a member of the loosely organized region, would probably call everyone in the region some form of "Hindu" that follows the "righteous way" or the dharma. And they would be correct. Just because kingdoms have risen and fallen in that time does not change this identity. The British did bring land/people into the Indian realm but it wasn't land local to India. It was the Middle East and Burma, which were administered by the British raj. Burma at the time was very rich. They actually did see themselves as Indian before the collapse of the raj and wanted to maintain their status in the nascent Indian federation. The middle eastern princely states (Dubai, Qatar, Yemen, etc) never did see themselves as Indian, so it is an interesting historical quirk that they had Indian citizenship and passports for almost a century.
>>218245124pseudo intellectual garbage changindian states are interdependent most industries exists in chennai ,bangalore ,Hyderabad ,mumbai kanpur,noida region but the raw materials minerals necessary for manufacturing mined from regions like chattisgargh bihar,jharkandthsts why communist upring exists in this tribal regions because these tribals believe they are not compensated properlyall these industrial cities employ bimaru migrants as workforce, bihari and bengali workers are employed in mumbai,chennai ,bangalore etc
>>218245124>Any sensible, moral Indian would want to create a coherent, autonomous country to represent their own people instead of sending poop tithes to this Kafka-esque central governmentIndia now is so thouroughly mixed by caste, race, religion, etcthat no attempt at racial division can even be taken seriously at this point. nothing like the partition will *ever* happen again besides that, your point is incorrect and stupid.
bhudism vs hinduism
>>218239333>I've never heard of this concept of izzatPretending Izzat doesn't exist is one of the core tenants of Izzat
>>218238701They unironically don't have the money for new construction. As you can see, 99% of that pile is construction rubble and materials that people throw on the side of the road for projects nearby
>>218246592And that's supposed to be a bad thing? Indian construction is so low quality I think it actively makes peoples lives worse. Seeing Indian construction could make anyone into a NIMBY
>>218244576waiting on the saar hunter for this one
>>218245887When were Middle Eastern protectorates/possessions administered by the Raj? Google isn't helping me find this but that's interesting
>>218244576SAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
>>218246867Listen to this podcast episode: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/empire-world-history/id1639561921?i=1000720614181During the time of the British Raj, the Middle East was SUPER poor, like virtually no economic activity was happening there (this was before oil was discovered) These princely states were British protectorates. The British, being obsessed with social status, had a system of shooting off guns every time a region's leader arrived at a British capital...The nizam of Hyderabad at the time was a "21 gun salute" - the highest offered to any world leader. The Sultan of Yemen was a ~2 gun salute, he'd be worth recognizing as a leader but not a significant one. (This is because the British port of Aden was quite significant to the empire) And the sheikh of Dubai... was offered zero. It was a less important region than Yemen in the late 1800s! That podcast goes into a lot of detail about the status of the Middle East during colonial times, but the craziest story is that the British actually offered the ENTIRE middle eastern region to India before Indian Independence! This was in the 1940s, literal years before Dubai exploded in wealth from oil. The Indian congress (Gandhi, etc) turned down the Middle East because they thought it would just be an expensive drain on the new country lmao. Imagine the world today had they not done this. >When were Middle Eastern protectorates/possessions administered by the Raj? I'm just paraphrasing Gemini slop to be clear but here's the answer: So it turns out Aden (now Yemen) was directly administered by the Bombay residency (India) starting in 1839. The rest of the Middle East formed the "trucial states" and were protectorates, who reported to the British government of India in Delhi / Shimla starting in 1858. So since the mid 1800s, the vast majority of the Middle East used the Indian rupee as currency, and likely received an Indian passport if someone there had need of one.
>>218246867Of course, it would've been kind of retarded for India to continue to administer the Middle East even if they had accepted the British offer for transfer of power, and if I had to guess would probably have failed at some point. The failure to keep Burma as a part of India is a much more unfortunate result of the mistakes made by the Indian delegation during the 20th century, and I personally think Burma would be better off today as a part of India
>>218246833>>218246885he was being sarcastic you retards
Indian culture does not value civic duty. Their people are all preoccupied with having petty disputes about caste, religion and ethnicity. They all blame each other and never take any responsibility. Their holy river, Ganges, being descretated with human filth is an indictment on how rotten their culture has become. The funny part is that even the indians here refuse to acknowledge that their society is fundamentally broken.
>>218246867It has to do with the fact that the British had employed so many Indian sepoys to keep India in check that they began using their forces all over the Indian Ocean to justify the cost of recruitment. In the Opium War against China many of the rank and file soldiers were Indian sepoys. Even in East Africa it was routine for the British to use Indian sepoys.
>>218247197Cool to know! I think I'll check out the podcast later
>>218238701>1.5 billion individuals vs 22 milliongee i wonder where you can make sweeping changes striaght to the bottom most strata
>>218239073>1.5 billion gypsiesIt is over
Is dey culcha
broken window theory
>>218244302We had a Tamil guy in our class in school and he was so dark he mostly got away with claiming he was black, therefore I vote Indian Anyway he went on to study engineering and was mostly chill (never pooed on the street either) so clearly there is some sort of difference between Sri Lanka and India
there are many foreign factory workers from sri lanka in south koreathey look exactly like indians and have the same accent, but they are embarrassed to be mistaken for indians Tthey say indians are dirty and low quality peopleare indians in south asia in the same position as chinese in east asia? it seems like no one in that region likes indians
