Everything about India sounds so miserable, like imagine if they went communist like the Chinese did.

Can you share any good or promising things about India? What I can see from social media seems very bleak.
iirc kerala is pretty cool, they regularly elect marxist communists and while it's not a socialist state by any means, they've done good things working in the confines of the liberal framework with stuff like the highest minimum wage in india and a strong protest scene
Kerala is run by a Communist Party and they're the most literate state in India. Plus communal harmony is also the best in Kerala.
And their maternal mortality rate is lower than it is in many U.S. states (Georgia, Texas, etc.)
Lmao us dont be evil and bad challenge
Kerala is unironically the best state of India and unbelievably based

By the 80s, they'd begun a full transition to neoliberal governance.
while we're asking questions where can I find a historical materialist examination of the whole Operation Blue Star incident and the leadup to it.
Are you asking this from the point a tourist? Or generally in terms of the direction the country is headed in?
If you wanna travel then I don't good advice but Kerala and the Himalayas are very beautiful, though the latter spills over to Nepal.
For the other question I would say the outlook id overall pessimistic.
The latter
India has been electrifying almost its entire railway network!
Nothing is cool about India except Kerala and some states in the north east. North India is a shithole.
Why was this removed by mod? Im just trying to learn and be less ignorant
Like if jack was mad my bad
Idk why it was removed. I praised Kerala and gave my opinion on north India.
this is like saying europe is a shithole because europeans in america shoot up schools
whites try to know anything about the world at all (challenge impossible ik)
also 3 of those top 13 cities are european and one of them's even in italy lmfao (despite having 80x the GDP)
