Have always seen Indians been mocked, but India is not as bad as it is portrayed on Blind.. A proud moment... https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-asia-india-46028342 Edit: All farmers have been compensated and even given land at a different place. These protests are staged by the opposition political outfits. Rest of the country is very proud of this achievement. After all do you expect BBC to write good about India. Haters gonna hate, but who cares. Inspite of that we welcome you with folded hands to see this engineering marvel :) Namaste !! _/\_
You spent $430m in a... statue?
This is tourism infrastructure. It paid for jobs, companies, skills. Future tourists will repay that investment and allow small businesses to survive around this. What else do you want them to do? Give massive handouts and tax breaks like Trump?
Well, you could sponsor freedom fighters somewhere or invade a country or two
I heard the local people there are outraged that your government wasted about half a billion dollars on a statue that's taking up farm land
Dumb as hell. Seems like their priorities are not where they should be
Never mocked Indians before but after seeing this post...

India has entire communities living without proper electricity or water or internet access. And the government just blew half a billion. But hey, at least you got a statue.
Yes a statue that will generate tourism for the country, and income for the locals. A long term investment.
It's just a fucking statue. Nothing to be proud of.
Proudest moment for the rest of country? What a load of shit! There are a million of things that money could have been used for and may be would be useful. God knows my tax money is going to tatti. Don't start with "..its gonna generate revenue like statue of liberty" nonsense. There's a reason it generates that kinda money on tourism. Instead of blindly believing whatever BS you heard next time, just think. But no, you namo bhakts dont have that
But yeh it will generate tourism and long term investment .. that’s all BS.
India is worse than ever portrayed anywhere.
Lol what do you mean bad as it is portrayed? When was last time we had kids shot dead in a school by another kid? When was the last time a cop pulled a trigger on innocent person of color? When was he last time you saw racism so blatant that fairer skin would call cops or threaten to kill a non white person? ... If you feel us is so great why don’t u move to Oakland and stay there with ur family? May be all American citizens their are fun loving and caring!
India has its own problems, probably worse than any other nation: They don’t shoot kids but they certainly have killed 10s of millions baby girls, that is probably the largest genocide by individual citizens of another minority. (Shaming Holocaust) The cops certainly don’t pull the trigger on innocent minority but they do atrocious things, there is no such thing as “innocent until proven guilty “ they don’t have guns so they use sticks, kicks and spits to treat innocent people like criminals. Several cases where cops have severely abused system. At least in US cops are afraid of their safety because citizens can carry weapons, but in India they know citizens are unarmed so they abuse their powers. You don’t need to move to “specific city-Oakland” in India to feel the violence. EVERY town, village and city is a sanctuary for rapists and gang rapists. No woman, girl or babygirl is safe, in the entire country. Capital Delhi is infamous for being a “rape capital” what is more shameful than that? Talk about racism? Indians invented that shit, The Untouchables, Dalits etc... Gujjus hate Biharis, Marathis hate UPs, South Indians despise Northerners. Still youth kill themselves because inter-caste love/marriages, not to mention classic Hindu-Muslim hatred. More later...
That’s why MARA - make America racist again
