Maybe it’s some sort of confirmation bias, but it seems like there’s a lot of prominent right wing people of Indian ancestry (Vivek Ramaswamy, Dinesh D’Souza, Nikki Haley). Is it confirmation bias or is this a real thing? If the latter, what is driving it other than US immigration policies excluding leftists?

        It is still considered a sub continent. Doesn’t give the whole dumb “praising capitalism” statement any credence. There’s telugu nationalism or tamil nationalism or punjabi nationalism. Chennai had a beautification drive and evicted 100s from homes by force and demolition. Huge pogroms were carried out in manipur. Hmmmm I guess both of those times they were praising capitalism. I guess they were probably only dictated by some regional nationalism.

        So which is it, they are all the same and praise capitalism but can’t be looked at anything other than sub nationalist patchwork. Or its a large ubiquitous continent and they all praise capitalism.
