No political axe to grind here, but in India, the easiest way to discredit a public figure is to insinuate that they are rich, or have sex, or drink alcohol. Gandhi's spiritual shadow is so long on India's history that if you deviate from his ideals, you are irreparably corrupt.

Bal Thackeray is the only exception I can think of.

India is a de facto vegetarian country. Most Indians including non vegetarians see Meat as something dirty, something to be hidden in opaque bags. Filthy Guthka and street urination has more approval in India than meat.

@annkitroy They're probably not the actual teachers.

In many states, educated women pass the exams to become a teacher but they won't go to remote areas - so they set up a local person as proxy, pay them peanuts from the amount they get from govt, While keeping the rest of money to enjoy.

@rajatpaliwal319 @annkitroy They might be proxy workers, not real government employees

@Yohana3313_ @IndianTintin_ Goa has a lot of litter. Even non-touristic residential areas populated by local Goans are full of litter. We didn't even have garbage collection in our area until after covid, and we live 3km from the capital. People just burnt garbage, even in the most posh colonies.

you know people like to say Americans have no culture but my German neighbors are throwing a party tonight and i can hear their music from my living room and almost every song on their playlist is American. you are all fish that don’t realize you’re swimming in water.

@Shayrad_Azavan My mother has always wanted one, but we have never had consistent water supply. I believe this is also why semi-automatic washing machines are still common in India, despite being obsolete in the West. They can be used without running water.

Indians have a low bar for many things. Our protests for clean air and liveable cities did not rattle politicians. But Indians are hysterically serious about their children. And, the present is just a temporary holding place for them to shine in a place called the “future”. Any threat to the future is grave. They can bring up their children in filthy air, let them dangle from unsafe trains and travel on dangerous roads, but they will not tolerate that terrifying thing called an uncertain future. Of such a future, the BJP has become a mascot.

@DecadentPuff @yuanyi_z My (Indian) great-grandfather studied law in Europe and was given a choice, either become (and remain) a barrister there or a judge in Portuguese India. Chose to return.

@Rustum_0 Other points are valid, but I would also add that sun exposure can cause hair bleaching, especially in coastal communities that engage in fishing, water sports and other sea adjacent activities.

Sketch of the temple complex of Śrī DēvakīKr̥ṣṇa Ravaḷanātha at Māśel, Goa; sketched in 1868 C.E. by Portuguese illustrator-traveller António Lopes Mendes.

This is one of the very few places in India that worship the mother son duo Śaktisvarūpiṇi Dēvakī & Kr̥ṣṇa.

Lebanese people are merchants first and foremost. Merchants don’t care too much about national or ethnic affiliation. They will go anywhere in the world and adopt a new language, names, clothing, customs and even race in order to succeed financially.

There’s many other groups like this: Gujuratis, Tajiks/Central Asian Persians, Goans, Marwaris, Memons, Khojas, Venetians, and Jews (to a certain degree),

I don't know if this is bait but this is basically how the vast majority of regular people treated religion for most of human history, especially in diverse regions. Laypeople being upset over religious syncretism is a recent phenomenon, especially outside of Protestant Europe.
