Sweetheart go read a little instead of sitting fpr hours on BF. That might help.

How is Nepal being part of the Indian civilisation(not the country India) a made up glory?

Ridiculous to say the least!

I do not live to please you. Stop calling female members, sweethearts on a random forum if you don’t want to be called a dickwad in return.

There is no angst. Religious similarities do not magically erase hard geographical lines. If that’s the case, why isn’t the Middle East just one big blob of a country? Why do Iranians vehemently oppose to being called Arabs?

I just do not like fringe elements passing off made up theories as facts. There are a lot of impressionable minds on here. It’s important to stand up to nonsense. This is also the only reason why I called out racist comments on this thread. I didn’t see you complaining then?

Bringing up Greeks and Romans is ridiculous. Modern day Italians and Greeks are not going around spouting made up nonsense reliving past glories. They have moved on with the times. Your lot is still stuck in the past trying to rewrite history and erase the existence of modern day sovereign nations. If you still don’t get it, sit and think about why majority of the world sided against Russia in the Russia-Ukraine war.

How is stating a simple historical fact a made up glory?

National boundaries is a 20th century phenomenon.

You really need to read a up a little

But why am I even wasting my time talking sense to some random nutcase with comprehension issues on BF?

Adios!

National boundaries is a 20th century phenomenon?! I thought I had heard it all but Modi Bhakts never run out of delusional ideas.

In which part of the world was national boundaries a 20th century phenomenon? Please enlighten us, O wise one. Was the whole world just one big happy family doing the Kumbaya until the 20th century hit? It’s like all the wars over territories never existed at all?

Should I start listing the names of all the wars over territories up until the 20th century? Or would that be too much for your pea brain?

Arey baba, nation states as we know them today are a 20th century thing.

Before that boundaries were always changing and shifting. They are even today but to a lesser extent.

Please yaar, read a little.
Seriously! BF is good for a some TP but before getting into a debate at least have all your ducks lined up.

And stop with this Modi Bhakt thing sweetheart. It is getting old.Find something else.

You really do have comprehension issues.

No, boundaries weren’t always changing and shifting. You have no proof to back your claims. There were plenty of independent nations before the 20th century. Just because the Brits colonized half the world doesn’t mean every country was colonized.

I’ll tell you why you believe in this made up nonsense. It’s because buying into the right wing rhetoric of Akhand Bharat somehow validates your own existence.

Again, you really really need to read or just stick to Bollywood.

Anyway, this Modi Bhakt is done for now.

Jai Shri Ram!

I will do as I please. Patronizing me, calling me sweetheart is not going to validate any of your Hindu Nationalist beliefs. Try that with someone else.

Let us not debate pageant winners.

Pageants are marketing gimmicks and a lot of Indians win because India is a HUGE untapped market for beauty industry and grooming, English speaking, fashion design etc, the whole baggage that takes to win pageants.

Whem Indians won Miss World or Miss Universe around the time India opened its economy and around globalisation, liberalisation, privatisation, it was to tap the market and it worked exactly as corporations intended as it led to rise of gyms, fashion design courses, beauty salons, specialised hair and skin care products, make up artists, jewellery designers, English speaking, grooming classes, public speaking classes, classes to teach even how to walk or sit, cosmetic dentistry, cosmetologists, dermatologists, hair transplant, plastic surgeons etc and whatnot.

It spawned a whole industry and now even small towners and older people are self conscious about looks.

I have seen people at even ripe old age get their teeth corrected, wear braces or get hair transplant or face lift, peels and whatnot and they are not even employed, but still just wanna look good.

Hyping of Anil, Sunil, Sanjay, Hema and Rekha as icons also serves market and older, married people are also self conscious about fitness and looks now.

Earlier only ones looking to get married or for jobs in glam industry were self conscious about looks. Now everyone is.

I agree on pressure on BW to take issues or judging them based on religion or politics. That does affect content and its promotion.

However I have not seen obsession in any part of the world with Indians or Indian make up or skin care or wanting to look like Indians.

The only Indian stuff which is LEGIT a worldwide phenomenon is spirituality, meditation, yoga, and to some extent Ayurveda, naturopathy, and some practices like langar and bhandara we have here. Our religious and spiritual stuff is the only one that can be said to have a worldwide curiosity, awareness, fascination and popularity.

It gives me pride to see foreign authors, psychologists refer to Indian philosophies in their books.

Regarding Pageant wins. Yes it is a business. It is there to grow the beauty Industry amongst other things.

But it is undeniable that Indian women are outstanding in comparison to most there on stage.

Korean Skin care. So much of that is photoshopped gimmick.

Also when a 50 year old transforms herself into a 16 year old Beijing doll.. People wanna buy that magic stuff and cellotape holding the facial lose skin tight.

The food.. well if people are into wanting to eating sea cucumbers then fair enough.

But I know a lot of places really enjoy Indian meals

I think the Korean hype is more led by social media then in real life.

It's more talked about and more promoted on social media.

I do not see Korean stuff being more popular than Indian. It's more of a novelty. A new invention.
