  • I grew up in India’s abusive ex (UK). My impression was that people have a

    Most people have no problems with Indians and British culture is pretty heavily influenced by India (or at least more so than other countries). Most Brits like Indian food and everyone drinks tea. Vindaloo is especially popular with people who are very drunk, and also happens to be my favourite meal generally (they might ban it in Denmark soon). My experience is that Indians are pretty chill people.

    All the news we get from India paints the north as being full of insane zealots/rapists. Stories about whole villages pinning a man down so they can saw off and steal a man’s “holy leg” or young girls getting brutally gang raped etc. I know this probably isn’t the whole story but you need a decent pr team.

    Narendra Modi is a twat.

    Indians are stereotypically seen as either doctors or corner shop owners. Indians are typically seen as hard working. All tech support and telemarketing is outsourced to India and people don’t typically enjoy those things.

    That said the UK does have it’s fair share of racist morons, who will always have a problem with Indians, but that’s because they weren’t raised right.

    The caste system and arranged marriage are terrible. It doesn’t strike me as a good place for women.

    Two part question:

    What are you prepared to put into a relationship and what do you want to get out of one?

    If each person wants what the other is willing to give, then the relationship is more likely to succeed. Not much else really matters that much.
