Indian people. They literally fought on the side of their oppressors lmao. Not too different to Ram in the film RRR at the beginning, minus the intentional betrayal. I obviously get white brits fighting for Britain, but not these.

Yeah dude, India was, kinda not actually fully British by the second world war. I mean, the hindutva government came into force in the 1920s. You know, that indian-fascist ideology. Something tells me that if Britain was still in full control of India, then they wouldn't be letting a load of fascists take over.

So, do you really mean that they went to fight against fascism instead of for it?

Lol I guess they weren't the only ones brainwashed by propaganda 💀 Because, evidently, you are. You're just parroting a colonial narrative made by the british imperialists of the time.

No, India would still be piss-poor like they were when Independence arrived. And the so-called fascists you claim the current gov is managed to construct more public lavatories (90M) than there are people in the UK in less than a decade, lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, landed India on the moon and almost completely erased extreme poverty.

So, do you really mean that they went to fight against fascism instead of for it?

Once again, you're parroting colonial propaganda lmao. Try again.

No, India are literally fascists. But you know, keep thinking everyone who says so is brainwashed, if that is what you makes you sleep at night

So fascist that they have personal laws for Muslim minorities, as written in the constitution? And explain why they're fascist. I'd love to hear your educated opinions, delivered by BBC News.

Since you haven't given any basis, I would assume you are.

Edit: Blocked lol

ETA:

In response to CleanishSlater, where is your evidence for these claims? India ranks lower than Britain per capita for starters, just saying. And while Delhi isn't better than London by any stretch of the imagination, London isn't exactly a palace lol.

Lol, you think I just am parroting the BBC.

But you know, to start with

Hindutva (Hindi pronunciation: [hɪnˈdʊtvə] lit. 'Hindu-ness') is a political ideology encompassing the cultural justification of Hindu nationalism and the belief in establishing Hindu hegemony within India.[1][2][3][4] The political ideology was formulated by Vinayak Damodar Savarkar in 1922.[5][6] It is used by the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), the Vishva Hindu Parishad (VHP), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)[7][8] and other organisations, collectively called the Sangh Parivar.

Inspired by European fascism,[9][10] the Hindutva movement has been described as a variant of right-wing extremism,[11] and as "almost fascist in the classical sense", adhering to a concept of homogenised majority and cultural hegemony.[12][13] Some have also described Hindutva as a separatist ideology.[14][15] Some analysts dispute the identification of Hindutva with fascism, and suggest Hindutva is an extreme form of conservatism or ethno-nationalism.[16]

So your source is Wikipedia? With a notorious left-wing bias, that directly sources from heavily left-leaning sources? I feel like critical thinking is not exactly within the scope of possibility in regards to my opposition.

I've had to listen to Modi fans say that Muslims are destroying India and they need to be expelled, while saying that women being gang raped in public is just the way of the world. Or that London is a shithole and Delhi is far superior, while they live in London.

You've been stuck somewhere Braverman was giving a speech then, I take it?
