Was India ever great?

I've spent significant time in India. It is a total shithole and the people suck. Was it always like this?

>Was India ever great?
Yes

Well the whole world used to be like that, but gradually everything improved around India.

It was probably seriously fucking cool before the muslims showed up.

This.

Most aesthetic borders

Open a book faggot

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_India

We invented the numbers you use today, white devils.

India is basically only relevant in relation to greater powers. We talk about them as that place alexander went to and fucked shit up before his troops forced him to leave. We learn about them from their interactions with the Chinese and muslims, and most think of them as "that place a British company easily conquered and then felt sorry for and left after WW2"

They're basically only relevant in relation to actual relevant people's because of their isolation and general lack of anything meaningful to share with other cultures other than their religions. And even then they're only relevant for being of cultural relevance to other peoples

The Indus valley civilization was pretty cool

>most of it was in modern day Pakistan

>they're only relevant because they were relevant to other people
yeah no shit

>It was probably seriously fucking cool before the muslims showed up.


You do realize that street-shitting is an overwhelmingly hindu phenomenon, right? Even among the more educated and wealthy ones are way more likely to shun the porcelain altar than muslims.

Sorry, was meant for

>It was probably seriously fucking cool before the Muslims showed up.

T. retard who thinks Muslim history begins after 9/11

no, other people are relevant in themselves like europe and china. India is only relevant by nature of influencing others culturally because nothing they ever did was worth noting. Europe and China accomplished things and moved the world forward, India just sort of sat there behind their gigantic mountain range and continued being irrelevant until the british came. Meanwhile relevant nations are out inventing and conquering and shaping the world, India is only relevant in its influence on others but has nothing relevant to show for itself.

He's an idiot for not bothering to look it up and still say shit, but Muslims did fuck that place up hard. Temples, monuments, etc. Muslims tore it the fuck apart, especially due to the polytheism, which is a big issue with Muslims. They hate polytheists like nobody else, and also harbor hate for it since the Arabic polytheistic past is seen as an era of ignorance and shame that they need to make up for by being even stauncher with the monotheism.

>Being this big of morons

The muslims literally annihilated the place and brought absolutely nothing even remotely close as a replacement.

Sorry that your goat-fucker religion is nothing but a scourge on this planet.

>calls me a moron when I made the same point you did

here. You need to learn to read, you triggered faggot.

India was so bad that it produced Buddhism, a religion that teaches people how to stop existing. Imagine being so tired of being surrounded by poverty, sickness, filth, and horror that you meditated your way to oblivion, then everyone thought you had the right idea.
Only in India.

No, seriously, as bad as Muslims are, Hindus are utterly worthless human trash, which is why open defecation is predominantly Indian and not anywhere else the Muslims came along and smashed shit up.

>A large number of recent studies document socioeconomic status (SES) gradients in health and survival, across countries, across SES groups within country and within groups over time; for a survey see Cutler et al. (2006). Previous analyses of health inequalities along ethnic or religious lines tend to start out with a differential consistent with SES differences, as is the case, for example, with black-white differences in health in the United States. While it has been recognised that unhealthy behaviours like smoking or drinking may vary positively with SES (e.g. Rogers et al., 2000, p.245), these are seldom large enough to alter the raw differential in favor of the lower-SES group. The case of Muslims in India, is, in this respect, most unusual.
>By age five, the Muslim survival advantage over Hindus is as high as 2.31%- points, which is about 17% of baseline mortality risk among Hindus. Restricting the comparison to upper-caste Hindus, who enjoy unambiguously higher social status than Muslims, the differential is 1.30%-points, or about 10% of baseline mortality risk.

Hindus literally shit in the open so much it kills their children, and they do not want this to change.

>the wonder everyone thinks of when they think of india was made by hindus, oh wait

>was it always like this
If you're talking about living standards, the whole world was like this, then after industrial revelution and french revolution it started getting better in europe, reaching a good standard when world wars started. including japan and new world(including south america). Somehow japan kept getting better but south america deteiorated, and then other eastern and south asian nations started getting better after getting independence.
Answering your subject question, india has produced tremendous amount of culture and influenced south east asia and east asia immensely, gave middle east their math when they started their invasions, and then even somewhat the west when independence movement was at its height, its effects could be seen as emergence of hippie culture.

And after indepence it was very difficult for india since its vast wealth was almost completely depleted and it also had to get new people get accostomed to new administration and system which was designed originally to enslave the people.

Anyone else kind of surprised the Muslims didn't genocide 95% of the Hindus and Buddhists in India?

I know there are circumstances where Christians and Jews are allowed to live in peace if they pay a tax. But I thought Pagans were insta convert or die

You cant rule a kingdom if you dont have anyone to rule over.
They did tax non muslims and it was their plan to do the usual thing and slaughter pagans when muslim population reaches a critical point.

>Well the whole world used to be like that

lol nope. What are you talking about? India is massively overpopulated for one, so the world couldn't have been like that in the past

you invented the numbers, we invented higher math. You used them for accounting for your curry trades

Outrajeous

Was Chilli invented as a way of keeping the brown man down, like the Jews giving us feminism or us giving disease?

Funny enough, the muslims don't streetshit.

Oh wait that doesn't fit my /pol/ memes.

>higher math
now try doing that with roman numerals.

Also this. Pre independent Old Delhi had a lot of muslims living in it's surrounding areas and the place was a serious hotspot for rioting. The population transfer ended up changing it's demographic to a large extent, giving us the disgusting cesspit of a national capital we have today with loud punjabis playing crash-carts with their SUVs.
