Idk much about India being colonialized. What made India go from that to being one of the major hotspots in the world for spiritual tourism today? It's an impressive feat. (hexbear.net)

In the middle of posting this, someone just told me that many previously colonized countries have to outport their goods at an uneven exchange, and India has their culture as a product. Is there a lot of ~~white washing~~ disrespectful appropriation? Are there lots of cults too?

They tried but I bugged out real quick.

It is sad. Mass tourism and "expats" / retiree are taking a huge drain on the country overall. I only heard portuguese when talking to workers, nobody on the street spoke it.
