I have some devastating news for the hindutva fascists (not Indians in general): you will never be white or part of the west. Union carbide will dump chemicals on your land, Cargill will sell your farmers one time seed, metro PCS will make racist ass commercials about your accent. The only reason they are pumping you up is so you go fight china for them. You are part of the global south, embrace it. You are one of us.
Pakistan , India and bangladesh can never truly integrate into anti colonial and anti imperialist movement due to various reasons , specially the religious fundamentalism embedded into our culture.
That sort of attitude was ingrained into these places by the British, do you really want to just do what the British want you to do?
its a wrong theory and ahistorical. Religious tensions was there and it will be for many years to come. Religion brings problems and anti materialism which is a false consciousness
How so? Or maybe I'm not making my point clear. The British didn't invent these tensions, but they did exacerbate them as much as they could, and the modern situation is a result of that far more than previous tensions.
I agree that religion is as anti-materialist as it gets, but people are religious and will fight for their religious beliefs, you can't just make people stop being religious overnight. I can't imagine a truly communist society having religion really, but it's a process that takes generations of people slowly losing the need for religion in their lives, the USSR's attempts at suppressing religion were ultimately unsuccessful and those same religious leaders would often work with enemies of the communists to undermine and overthrow them because they saw them as a threat to their power. Unfortunately it has to be done delicately because religion is such a powerful force for reaction.
USSR was very successful in their attempts. I recently watched a video from Uzbekistan in 1970s there was neither islamic fundamentalism or closures of mosques. Don't iterate the liberal propaganda that campaign against religion was a failure in USSR. The return happened due to the capitalism and chauvinists in every region of ex USSR states.
Bro there was saint Kabir, Meera, sufis etc. In their poems they always had written about the animosity and hatred between hindus and Muslims. British just sparked the tension in 20th century by aligning themselves with Hindus and Muslim fundamentalists. But obviously the partition was inevitable. There was either of the chauvinism, it's Islamic supremacist or Hindus. It was just a good moment in history of India that Nehru was socialist and secular oriented. Even his colleagues were pro hindu chauvinists like Sardar Patel and etc.
