India Is Not A Real Place

@Akai i was

@Grandpaw Its an old lady dude, LOL fitting for you tho eh ACH-med the ded terroizt?

@VoyeurGentleSir67 incredible cultural resilience, adaptability, and democratic strength, having survived centuries of foreign invasions that wiped out other ancient civilisations. As of 2026, it is a global powerhouse with a massive population of over 1.4 billion, a rapidly growing economy, and a strong, diverse cultural foundation. unfortunately, it’s mostly the poor parts and slums that are shown. I just hope it ain’t all like that. If so, that’s a really shit existence

@SugarSlaughter293 Oh my god dude, see here you go again, ITS ACTUALLY JUST ARRANGED MARRIAGES AND FUCKING LIKE RABBITS

Yeesh dude, learn to read between the lines

@Akai "learn to read between the lines" at least I can read the lines in the first place!
While it is true that arranged marriages remain the dominant tradition in India, the reality of modern Indian family life is much more nuanced than the stereotype suggests.

Arranged marriage is still the norm for the vast majority of Indians. However, the process has evolved significantly:
Many young Indians now participate in "assisted" arranged marriages where they have the final say and a period to get to know their potential partner before committing.
Families often look for compatibility in education, socio-economic status, and caste.
The cultural philosophy is often "first the wedding, then the love," with couples working to build a partnership over time.

As for the idea that Indians are "breeding like rabbits", that is actually a common misconception that is not supported by current data.
India's Total Fertility Rate (TFR) has fallen below the replacement level of 2.1 children per woman, according to the National Family Health Survey (NFHS-5).
Modern Indian couples are increasingly opting for smaller families (typically 1 or 2 children) due to the rising costs of living and education.
India has a very large population of young people, which can give the appearance of high growth even as individual families get smaller.

However, I understand your misconception.
Certain factors contribute to the persistence of these stereotypes:
India has one of the lowest divorce rates in the world (estimated around 1%), though this is often attributed to social stigma and legal difficulties rather than marital success.
There is often significant family and social pressure to have children shortly after marriage.
Indian weddings are massive social events that can last for days, reinforcing the cultural prominence of the institution.

I feel that despite everything, India may or may not be healing from it’s patriarchal ways. I hope that to be true. I also hope that they delete the law they just made about banning transgender people, considering there’s like 2.3M trannies in India (all of whom deserve life).

Different breeding pattern- quantity over quality.
r-selected: Many offspring, little parental care, early maturity, short lifespan. Example: insects, mice. Focus on rapid population growth.
K-selected: Few offspring, high parental care, late maturity, long lifespan. Example: elephants, humans. Focus on stable populations near carrying capacity

@THETOTALGUY Except when splattered all over the road and in heavy machinery

@OriginalGooberpea They shouldn't have abused them so hard, exploited their resources for their own gain so directly, it was a damn Brit wealth monopoly,
or have been so racist, then they never woulda had a compelling reason, even the loyal serving armed forces were treated like shit, making them mass revolt

@Badboy Admittedly, same,

they had us in the first half, I NGL
