  1. @andrewboyd6517 Indians, Pakistanis and Bangladeshis are three different groups. They're nationalities. Indian is not an ethnic group.

  2. @andrewboyd6517 Indian is not a race. 💀

  3. There's no need to be upset just because Sikkim doesn't let Nigerians into their state. I'm not from India but I'm sure other states in India let Nigerians visit.

  4.  @conradchong2155  "India" wasn't even a thing until the British arrived, they were separate kingdoms and then they became three separate nations in 1947.

  5. It's so sad that all that anti-India hate has people thinking the whole of India is like that.

  6. I think there are so many issues in that part of the world. I read that China has a history of refusing Indian pilgrims travel to the Hindu holy sites in Tibet but let's Nepalese and other non-Indians visit those sites. It's like tit for tat, Sikkim in India doesn't let Chinese visit Sikkim in return. I think the issue of geopolitics and the threat of a diplomatic crisis at any moment is why there are so many restrictions. The Himalays: for such a tranquil part of the world, it seems sad the idea of a diplomatic crisis breaking out at any moment.

  7. I googled it and I couldn't find anything but I learned that there is a history of Nigerians committing crime in Sikkim, dating back to at least 2011. The other countries on the list make sense cause there are diplomatic and territorial issues with those countries but Nigeria seems so out of place because it's not even in Asia. So it's probably because of the criminal activity.

  8.  @Paconennation  It's no different. Lmfao at this man trying to tell me Kenya is better LOLOLOLOL.

  9. Sikkimese people are ethnically diverse. All people living in Sikkim migrated from somewhere. All of the people that lived in Sikkim are also found in Nepal and Bhutan, none in Tibet. These borders are only modern, they've all been living there for centuries.

  10. No, Buddhism is not a branch of Hinduism but it is a Dharmic faith however.

  11. That is a perfect way to describe it, yes just like Dogtown.

  12. She has an Indian accent cause she's actually an Indian and not from China.

  13.  @Paconennation  When you asked, "have you ever visited Kenya?". Investors, goods... again how is any of that different to India? Well the whole world knows that it's the Kenyan-Asians that power y'all's economy. So again, I ask you how is it any different to India? Both of y'all are the same.

  14. ​ @Paconennation  They have extreme income inequality where the top 10% hold like 40% of the country's wealth. Kenya has extreme wealth disparity too. Less than 0.1% of Kenya's population own more wealth than the bottom 99.9% of the country according to Oxfam. I'm guessing most of that 0.1% are Kenyan-Asians. So like I asked before, how is it any different to India? My facts are straight, I'm not delulu. I don't need to go to Kenya to see that there is no difference. Both are developing nations but there's a difference here because a delulu citizen from Kenya somehow thinks his country is better than India when there's literally no difference.

  17. He was born Hindu but he did not agree with the Hindu casteist life which is why he became an ascetic.

  18.  @Randomyj  Yes but that doesn't mean Buddhism is a branch of Hinduism.

  19. As someone who is neither Chinese nor Indian, I think putting blame on one side makes no sense because clearly both sides have faulted each other. Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan being listed there separately makes sense as they all have their own separate passports whether PRC likes it or not. The fact is that they have their own passports. Tibet wasn't listed as a country, so idk why you said that. Finally, I remember reading that China has a history of barring Indian pilgrims visiting sacred sites in Tibet like Mount Kailash. So the idea of Indians not letting Chinese into Sikkim doesn't seem so strange. The only reason why this stuff happens is both those countries continue to argue with each other over territory, Tibet, Dalai Lama and so on. If all of this was resolved, none of this would be an issue.

  20. Politics always complicate things. That whole region, which is traditionally always peaceful, is always on edge because of the growing geopolitical issues in Asia... such a shame.

  22.  @DrGaryGreen  You got sick from Indian food in Malaysia that is not KL or that you went to India and got sick? Anyway, Malaysian-Indian food is different to North Indian food.

  23.  @TitB1199  You've been brainwashed by Twitter because it's insane how people think that country is all the same and I feel really sorry for the people from the developed parts of India like Kerala and Sikkim, who have their own culture and language, who are tarred with the same brush because non-Indians refuse to understand their country.

  24.  @DrGaryGreen  Malaysia is a lot more developed than what it was in 1989. Maybe you can visit again.

  25.  @jacku8304  So Malaysia is more developed except for the street food stalls that are owned by Malaysian-Indians, is that what you're saying? How can one get "Delhi Belly" in Malaysia? Malaysia is NOT Delhi. You must be under the impression that "Indian food" in Malaysia is just like North Indian food found in India or something, it's not. Malaysian food is Malaysian food, there are Malaysian dishes that are influenced by Indian dishes from India but it's not "Indian food". I swear atp it's all the racism against Indians these days that has people even thinking Malaysian-Indians are no different despite the fact that they have been living in Malaysia long before the nation of India was even created.

  26.  @Paconennation  Aren't you from Kenya, how is that any different?

  27.  @Paconennation  Politicians focusing on the wrong issues, open defecation at a rate of 6%, corruption an all sorts of issues and yet he's here telling me Kenya is different. Mind you, the Kenyan-Asians are the ones holding the economic power in the country. Please be serious.

  28.  @WaMo721  I think there should be a difference noted between the Gorkhas who are from Sikkim and other groups found in Nepal like Limbu - who are all Sikkimese and any newer immigrants, if there are any. They've all been living there before modern borders were drawn.

  29.  @anirbanbhattacharya2146  Idk why y'all say this, sucking up to them. You do know they don't like your people, right?

  32.  @Radee1989  What are you talking about? Go look at the ethnic groups that form the Sikkimese population, all of these ethnic groups are also found in Nepal and Bhutan. Do some research before spreading lies.

  33.  @Radee1989  I know but that doesn't change the fact that all of the ethnic groups in Sikkim are also found in Nepal and Bhutan

  36.  @dianbb  I feel the same way actually but there are other areas of that country that have a better standard of living like Sikkim and Kerala but it's probably better to wait until it develops more, which is what I'm doing.

  37.  @tarunika983  Y'all need to get the BJP or something to put pressure on Big Tech and stop allowing them to boost anti-India posts online on Western social media. The damage those posts have done is tragic because I've seen other videos from India like some of the new smart cities in Gujarat and Noida and the southern states that look really amazing also all of your metro train stations and trains but people always see poor regions in Uttar Pradesh or something and think that's how the whole of India looks like. I think India is a beautiful country, please just do something. Y'all deserve so much better.

  38. The Buddha was born in Lumbini, in what is now modern Nepal. It was part of the Shakya Janapada (Shakya Republic) at the time, which is now part of modern India and Nepal. There is a mythological story that the Buddha visited Sri Lanka but there is no credibly evidence for it. The depiction of the Buddha with blue eyes is an art style only common in Himalayan regions like Nepal and Tibet and associated with the mythical 32 marks of a great man.

  39. Was she speaking in Nepali or was it Hindi?

  40.  @MrinangoCHAKRABORTY9103  What does that mean? So do Sikkimese people speak Hindi too?

  43.  @precise-w3y  Hinduism isn't an organised belief system. So he can't leave anything. He just simply wanted to understand the world beyond the worldview presented to him through the varna system.

  46. It was against Sri Lankan Tamils, not South Indians...

  47.  @ABO-Destiny  Omg that's so sad. I have a positive view of Hinduism as a Buddhist but I must say all that Hindutva/Hindu nationalism stuff is not nice to see. I always think of Hinduism as a way of life but the nationalists make it sound so rigid and strict.

  48.  @ABO-Destiny  He was critical of it which is why he became an ascetic. That is the truth. Buddhism would've never formed had he never disagreed with casteism.

  49.  @ABO-Destiny  He didn't agree with casteism and wanted to understand the meaning of life after seeing the reality of the world outside of the palace that belonged to his father.
