One of the major yearly exams got leaked in India last month so the BJP has been trying to suppress that news for some weeks now.

So they've launched a racism campaign against China where Indian bot accounts have "discovered" a secretive caste system in China which apparently is worse than the Indian caste system.

They're using two things to support their claims:

  1. Four Occupations System which has not existed for centuries
  2. Hukou system which is the Soviet Internal Passport system

This is just 100% cope to feel good about living in a failing state that is India.

It's nice(?) of them to try and pin Bri*ish accents solely on the landlord class

[–] plinky@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

when you hear landlord with norn accnt you (a podcaster from london) immediately know: that's a fine working class lad.

I think this needs a CW for using a variation of the n slur

Also I thought these nazi freaks hated Muslims

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 30 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Don't worry they are also hating on Muslims alongside the Chinese.

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, copying the Uyghur maneuver from amerikkka

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No they're bashing Pakistani and Indian Muslims instead. Haven't heard a squeak about Uyghur stuff because they want to exterminate Muslims worldwide. So they won't bother to speak out against False events occurring against Muslims.

I saw this post and started wondering what the tick-like bugs trying to bite my legs have to do with food vendors.

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 41 points 2 months ago

This is very much Hindutva stuff. They get extra racist whenever the Indian state embarrasses them or when China does something impressive. India went fully capitalist road and now ethnonationalist so there's a lot to cope about.

[–] Monk3brain3@hexbear.net 41 points 2 months ago (1 children)

This is such a fucking embarrassing fail lmao. Just take one look at India vs China and see who is running their country better

"For today's experiment, we will take two massive countries that have just thrown off the chains of their colonizers, make one capitalist and one communist, and see where they are in 75 years."

Average person in China: Each person in my family is significantly wealthier than their forebears, who are wealthier than theirs. I own my residence and just got an electric car, though the trains are actually better for daily use.

Average person in India: If I let enough white people abuse me over the phone today then maybe my family can afford enough cooking oil to eat this week. This is how I can afford to keep them from catching cooties from an untouchable.

Fascists trying to distract from problems at home that they are causing by telling people to hate a foreign people? I'm absolutely shocked. Gobsmacked even.

India has such an incredible, rich, and beautiful history spanning thousands of years, with many different peoples and cultures within what is even impressively known as "the subcontinent," and a powerful anti-colonial history to boot, and yet BJP and capitalism cause this to be one of their primary outputs I see on social media. It's pathetic, RIP Bhagat Singh, there was another path and I hope the commies there will soon overthrow this cucked lapdog empire

Why are Indian nationalist are this unhinged? Idk the internal racial dynamics of the India, but every time I see a nationalist Indian they always make an insane remark about other people.

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 35 points 2 months ago (3 children)

Living in India is hell and these people can't cope with it. So they start believing that India is an utopia and other countries are inferior to India. Then they just go insane with Hindu nationalist fervor.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's actually incredibly depressing because the conditions in India are dire and the collective delusion among a subset of the populace (ie Hindutva) makes one want to pull their pubes out. It's a unique psychosis, a group of people swimming in a sea of poverty insisting they're actually doing really well. Hard to even compare it to MAGA or the settler state of Israel. The only silver lining here is that it's not particularly harmful to just the vulnerable minorities, in that these people manage to fuck over a vast majority of all Indians instead.

They ruin it for everyone, diaspora and other South Asians included. A communist revolution in this country is needed. I am more optimistic than most because the vast majority of India's online presence is composed of the type of people who'd get overwhelmed by a Maoist style revolution should the peasant class in India be mobilized.

[–] Snort_Owl@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I remember facebook being absolutely huge there as well. I always wondered how much it plays into propaganda cos my indian family before I cut them off would just spam me with random facebook bullshit that was utterly unhinged.

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

Facebook and WhatsApp are what drives the BJPs propaganda.

[–] asdasd201@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 months ago

So the situation is your average Global Southern nationalist trying cope with their situation, but since India has a way larger population we see their weird takes more.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I've met an Indian nationalist with such nazi brainworms that he tried explaining to me that white people are superior because of bigger brains

Insane amount of nationalist propaganda in the media and school like national anthem before every movie screening by law, films glazing the military, if you cricise the military the average liberal and conservative will both yell at you "our soldiers shed blood on the border for us" it's like script everyone has memorised. Also nobody gives a shit about the social sciences.

[–] asdasd201@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 2 months ago

Ditto from my other reply.

It's particularly fun that, instead of finding an actual problem in China, they went with "you know that one specific social issue which infamously our country is perhaps the worst for? Yeah, they're secretly even worse and we only just noticed"

[–] Feed_el_Castro@hexbear.net 13 points 2 months ago

It's always projection. For western libs it's "look at how poorly they treat Muslims in Xinjiang", for India it's "they totally have a caste system hidden in their society"...

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Explain the exam leak thing pls

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 45 points 2 months ago (2 children)

India's medical entrance exam was leaked before it's scheduled date. So it was canceled and a re-exam is scheduled on 21 Jun. The government has taken no responsibility and are denying that there was a leak in the first place. People have been protesting against it every other day as well. Multiple kids have committed suicide as well because of the insane pressure.

[–] Chana@hexbear.net 32 points 2 months ago

And they banned Telegram for being a source of leaking while saying it wasn't leaked lol

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago (2 children)

That's a minor problem, A) why would you kill yourself over a rescheduled exam and B) What the hell does China has to do with this small "scandal" ?

[–] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

A) They were probably extremely stressed out and at their limit studying, only to find that literally everything they studied for is going to be rewritten since the exam got leaked and they just couldn't deal with it.

B) Fascists try to foment racism and discrimination as a distraction whenever they fuck up.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago

only to find that literally everything they studied for is going to be rewritten since the exam got leaked

They didn't knew the questions before the leak, they are just gonna get a slightly different set of questions but now with a little more time to study but yeah they were clearly at their limit

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago

The exam is completely ass and people prepare for years because you can't get into the medical field without it unless you're rich. The mental pressure is very bad and kids don't receive support.

China recently held the Gaokao without any problems and that triggered the inferiority complex of BJP supporters.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_occupations#Misinformation

Following discussions surrounding the alleged NEET 2026 examination leak, comparisons emerged on social media between the Four Occupations (Shi, Nong, Gong, and Shang) of traditional Chinese society and the Indian caste system by Indian netizens. Indian right wing started spamming misinformation about the Four Occupations in order to justify the rigid Indian caste system. This spamming drew responses from several Chinese scholars, who argued that the two systems were historically distinct. According to scholars, attempts to characterize the Four Occupations as a caste system overlook important distinctions between occupational classification and hereditary social stratification of Indian Caste System. Scholars further suggested that such comparisons are done deliberately to deflect attention from the prevailing social inequalities of the caste system in India itself. As one scholar summarized the sentiment, "If we drag everyone else down to our level, our own mess doesn't look so bad."

Scholars participating in the discussion generally emphasized that the Four Occupations functioned primarily as an occupational and ideological framework rather than a rigid hereditary caste order in India.[179]

This ain't the first bloody time.

I have recalled Mr Modi has referred to China's mining incident while people in India die in storms.

I have recalled that an Indian academic has coined the debt trap myth of China in Sri Lanka, before the West picked up on it

All to detract away from the bigger pitfalls in India

[–] manuallybreathing@lemmy.ml 16 points 2 months ago

Please consider censoring slurs when sharing this kinda stuff, even just write 'SLUR' over it or something

[–] AssortedBiscuits@hexbear.net 14 points 2 months ago

One of the major yearly exams got leaked in India last month so the BJP has been trying to suppress that news for some weeks now.

I was wondering about the timing.

[–] lil_tank@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

I tried to read stuff on the Hukou system, western media is spinning this as a, I'm not kidding, "apartheid" system between peasants (who were FORCED to produce food according to Wikipedia) and urban populations. Then when the reform came the ones registered with an agricultural hukou going to work in shitty western factories were treated just like immigrants from colonies in the West (trust me bro China colonized itself bro it's fucking crazy). No mention of the fact that if you lose your job in town you're literally entitled to land.

They admit it prevented reckless urbanisation and slum formation since the beginning of the opening up phase, and that they improved on issues afterwards though. I think Palestinians would love if they had this instead of what they currently have.

[–] jackmaoist@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

Xi himself is rural Hukou lol

Indian here, uh the BJP govt sucks - I still have hope for this country though, just one reddit ss, wouldn't sum up what you are saying, the BJP govt is not trying to suppress the news I don't think instead they are doing stupid shi like banning telegram lmao. I would say India get a lot more racist attacks in the internet, whenever I say I am from India, people have this kind of "disgust", I don't know why people just hate the country so much, yes it's not developed, yes the our leaders are doing the dumbest thing(fun fact, it's not just the case of India anyway lol) , they win elections because they support the beloved religion followed by the majority of people in this country, but that should'nt be a reason for targetted attack on everyone living here, there are somany good people here too , trying their best for making stuff better you know.

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago

I don't know why people just hate the country so much,-

Burgerlander here. A lot of it is coming from plain old ignorance and the few experiences crackers have with Indians being negative.

Imagine living in a place that is basically white with some redlined black neighborhoods. Everyone around you is almost a copy+paste of each other culturally. You don't know of any Indian people personally but the news tells you they are replacing office workers. Then you know your mee maw almost got scammed by some phone call where the person on the other end had a thick Indian accent. Easy to be casually racist when this is reality for a huge chunk of America amerikkka

[–] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The four occupations thing is so hilarious 🤣 like that shit was already outdated in the Song Dynasty

I almost feel bad for these hinduvta types because you can just tell that all of these comes from an intense sense of self loathing reinforced by the insane amounts of open racism that euro-americans love to spew at South Asians

[–] AF_R@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago (2 children)

India is going to cease existing in literally like 10 years, I wouldn’t waste too much mental RAM on it

It is literally too hot for crops to grow on the Indian subcontinent, like, right now. In a few years there will be widespread crop failures. Hundreds of millions will die.

I just hope China is ready to handle the humanitarian disaster that will show up to their borders as a result.

[–] LeeeroooyJeeenkiiins@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I hope that that doesn't happen but also that if it does they're very chill with the whole we have nuclear weapons thing but i guess at that point whatever we're so fucked anyway

[–] WokePalpatine@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The chill nuke-haver.

I have already depicted my self as the chill nuke-haver and you as Israel. I win.
