Comments by "peabase" (@peabase) on "India elections: Why Modi's BJP has little success in the south | DW News" video.
@santusanturohit4832 When India's economy is 17 times that of Germany, then you've got the Germans worried. Hint: in Europe, we think in relative terms. When a German travels to Luxembourg or Switzerland, he won't start bragging about his riches, because the average German knows full well that he's poorer than his Swiss or Luxembourger counterpart.

We think you have a funny accent.

@mayankdewli1010 I'll be sure to share your view with the next German that I come across.

Why is practically every Indian immediately outraged by even a hint of criticism from a foreign entity, while domestically you have no qualms about bringing up the very same issues and criticising them in much harsher terms? Is there a submissive colonial mindset at play here?

@lostlegend9015 You're lumping us all together, as if we could vice versa lump all Asians together. The Brits are the odd ones out, Europe-wise. Most of us have no colonial past, or a colonial past in the sense that we were colonialised ourselves. You won't hear us crying about it constantly.

@lostlegend9015 Uh, I brought up India's past colonial subjugation as a possible explanation for the ultra-sensitivity to foreign criticism. You replied to me, right?

@lostlegend9015 There you go again, lumping us all together. There's still lingering resentment over once-Great Britain lording over Europe as well, be it more in economic terms. We don't follow their lead, especially now that the UK has distanced itself from the EU, to its own detriment. You're only fooling yourself if you think otherwise.
