Serious question: how is Russia anti-imperialist while India gets branded as imperialist in online leftist discourse? Is it just racism?
I personally haven't seen India get branded as imperialist and that's even factoring in super racist Chinese and Pakistani accounts who do nothing but shit on Indians for asinine racist reasons. At best, people hate India for being soft Zionist and for Islamophobia.

This isn’t an isolated incident, it happens a lot and considering the cultural zeitgeist of open racism against India and Indians, racism definitely plays a part in it on online spaces including leftist ones
