India: It’s Worse Than You Think

Most Westerners know nothing about India beyond vague ideas about Hinduism, yoga, gurus, and maybe a dash of Bollywood. To such people, this article will be a rude awakening. ...

I had first returned to India with the idea of improving it, but after 11 years, I realized that India was a sinking ship, with worsening and increasingly shameless corruption, degraded people, and a society that was falling apart. I had never met an honest bureaucrat or politician. I applied to emigrate to Canada and my application was approved in a record three weeks.

I now advise East Asian and Western corporations on investing in India. Most of what I tell them sounds to them exaggerated, unrealistic, and unbelievable. After much dance, drama, and a great deal of lost money, they begin to believe what I tell them. However, this learning is never institutionalized because of a refusal to understand India. This is a form of political correctness, a poison eating away the innards of Western values.

When I was a child growing up in India, I learned that “might makes right.” Power was often abused, with those in control acting as if they had a God-given right to exploit and dominate others. The display of authority could be so extreme that questioning it or expecting those in power to do their duty might lead to retribution. Those in authority seemed to believe that their positions were not for serving others but for personal gain.

People who showed respect appeared to have meekly accepted a lower, subservient position. Kind people had to hide their compassion, for being nice was seen as a weakness.

In India, I have rarely seen someone in authority take the initiative to solve a problem he was responsible for. When I was at university, an underaged boy who worked in the kitchen was raped and sodomized by the janitors. I reported the matter, but not only did no one in authority do what was right — something well within their power — the authorities and fellow students threatened me with severe consequences if I pursued the matter further. Devoid of empathy, they also made fun of the boy and me.

Yes, there is an element of sadism here. There is some degree of pleasure that Indians take in the pain suffered by others. The attitude of the authorities was like that of the high-placed Delhi bureaucrat who told me that his Black Label whiskey tastes so much better because he knows that most Indians can’t afford to drink it.

This confuses Westerners. If they had power, even if they were corrupt, in a situation where there was nothing to gain or lose — no bribes to receive since both parties were poor, and no risk of offending someone well-connected — they would do the right thing and book the alleged rapist. These Indians would do nothing, not even lift a finger, unless there was a reward: money or sex. Their apathy was bottomless.


The article goes on about how incredibly low-trust India is as a society.

True? Any people from India want to opine on this?

Probably because younger Indian females are smaller making penetration easier. They get thicker as they get older of course, but I'm guessing that's why Indians are a touch rape(ish) for younger women. A small dick starts failing at 160-180+lbs woman. Hence why black women get slammed all the time. Gorilla cock.
430   Patrick   2025 Oct 6, 10:25am  

I read an interesting article a few years ago, claiming that the penis is a semen removal device.

The unusual shape of the penis head is superior to a smooth dildo-like shape in removing semen by pumping action. The argument is that over evolutionary lengths of time, it was an advantage for men to pump out the semen of the previous guy before inserting one's own semen. So the current penis shape and size was selected for.

This is also why, once you come, you lose the erection. It doesn't make sense to work against yourself, pumping out your own semen.

But the size advantage was useful only when fucking women who had been fucked by some other guy a few minutes before. Women who were under strict control by their husbands were not a reproductive problem in that way. So in cultures with very strict control over the women, men did not need as large a penis to reproduce. And what is not needed for survival and reproduction tends to go away.

I think it could well be true that men in cultures with well-controlled and/or non-slutty women have smaller penises. Maybe India falls into that category, and China.

Black women are notoriously slutty. Sorry, but it's true and there is plenty of evidence about that. So black men would have needed to evolve larger penises to compete with the other guys who had just fucked a woman. Whites are in the middle, between Asians and blacks.

It's also true that testicle size varies in the same way. Guys who need to compete with other men who just fucked a woman were better off with bigger balls which produced more sperm. And measurements show the same ranking. Black guys have the biggest balls, then whites, then Asians.

Who fucking cares? India doesn't need apps. It needs decent sanitation and streets not filled with mud and shit.


Thank you molotov for your concern about india n other human beings with more melanin than you. Almost all indians would agree with you that sanitization, n muddy road needs improvement. Also not sure why you are concerned about indian dick. if you are gay, n want large dick go to Africa.

India has monsoon, which means it rains 3 months, roads become river, so some road are going to break. India has surpassed the United States to become the country with the world's largest road network, reaching over 6.6 million kilometers. For a smaller sized country thats impressive.

India has installed 90 million toilets , though they can be better and people need to keep clean. I agree that civic sense needs improvement.

India has installed 90 million toilets , though they can be better and people need to keep clean. I agree that civic sense needs improvement.

Can you flush toilet paper? Or do you have to throw it in the waste basket? That's what you do in Costa Rica which is semi considered a first world country. It's gross and unsanitary. I highly doubt India's sewer system can handle it.

When my kid was a toddler he threw an entire roll of TP in the toilet. I wasn't fishing it out and flushed it, the whole roll. It went down without issue. I just laughed and said America. Comparing India to America is like rotten plums to fresh apples.

90 million toilets doesn't mean it's sanitary or nearly cracks the issue. I currently have 6 toilets for 5 people. 90M toilets vs 1B people clearly is a shortage. Sure there were probably existing toilets, but as a country to be sanitary you'd need at least 3-4B toilets when you factor in public establishments. So I wouldn't boast about 90M toilets. And this again assumes you sanitary sewer system can handle it. I also have the ability to access about another 6-8 public toilets in my small town. That's a 1:12 ratio of human to toilets in my house or within 1 minute.

You mention monsoon season as well. I highly doubt the storm water sewer system is up to par. So any piss and shit on the streets is getting flushed into streams, rivers and lakes. That means the water is filth and a lot of it gets into ground water.

Not claiming to be an expert, but in my wife's line of work these are the types we hang out with and i pick their brain because it interests me. I've met Aussie's, Dutch, Brits, Germans, Italians, etc. at national conferences. Never have seen or met an Indian at one. So by anecdotal default I have to assume Indians don't care about sanitation. Same for Chinese and African countries so I don't seem biased. Certain countries just don't care. Dislike my take but it's my experience and reality.

Despite small pockets in cities that I despise, if you live in the US, it's a top 3 country sanitation wise. Smaller Euro's might do better, but that's a scale thing. Let me know when India does this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7wQNKEiQxTE Love or hate Chicago, it's a marvel of the engineering world that people from all over come to see.
437   KgK one   2025 Oct 6, 1:53pm  

Most city n middle class alredy had toilets. They built 90 million extra toilets in 10 years, guiness book of record. Except for poor areas, this problem is solved. More are built as money comes thru.
City malls are amazing. They get bidet, n toilet paper choice. Most of Asia uses bidet, way cleaner.

No one wants to see or use public places to such.

Poverty is the root cause. You may not notice but sanctions, tarrifs, cia espionage, 800 us bases in other countries or us puppets are used to keep poverty in other countries.

Excuses. Does India have a problem with illegal immigration? H1-B type visas? Student/tourist visa overstays? My guess is no. The US supports a lot of population that wasn't born here and did nothing to build it. Stay home. Build your own country. Don't steal from us.

And again 90M toilets in a 1B plus county is a drop in a mostly empty 5gal bucket. It was a world record because of population density. Nothing to do with better sanitation. They use bidets because they cannot build proper sewer sanitation. I don't mind bidets, but Indian sewer systems cannot manage TP in the pipes and if they even have treatment plants.

Yes india has illegal immigrants. 20 to 30 million Bangladeshi n other come to india. They are stealing their jobs lol

Steal from us? Are you native american -guessing no. Let's not get into who stole. whole usa , australia, newzealand..stolen from native. Usa continously steals oil n minerals by installing puppet in small countries. Usa wasnt magical as you were told, ww1 n ww2 made industry to come to usa n it became prosperous. Even today 60% people live on pay check to paycheck.

Yes immigrants built this country Chinese did railways, many other.
Usa market cap is mostly top 10 IT companies and indian contribute significantly more for being 1-2% of population. Doctors ,hospitals, shipping containers, pharma colleges professors they contribute lot more. Even taxes they pay lot more than average usa person. Lot of contribution.

Let's not get into redneck whites , n AA population contribution. Also significant amount of us drug addicts are whites.

I agree to you point that if there are no jobs for us citizen we don't need to import. But you may not like it but h1 was created n used due to shortages. Due to elderly, there is upcoming nurse n doctor shortage. Farm laborer is another one, lot of crops will go to waste n inflation will grow so u have to import Mexicans. Those Mexicans land was originally taken by Spanish n then usa took Texasn other land from Mexico. Kicked out Mexicans, another stolen land.

Tell me there hasn't been huge political battles and demonstrations about this in India. I know there has.

Also, many of the Bangladeshis fleeing the country recently are HINDUS, so there is co-religion feeling.

But some are not, and they have been turned away or expelled by authorities (not that I blame India for expelling Muslims)

Just like Americans prefer to take in South African Protestant Boers rather than Pakistani Muslims or Haitian Santeria-Voodoo Cat-eating CINO* types.

*Catholic In Name Only

India is a worker-exporter, not worker-importer country, so it wants their workers abroad sending in remittances, and knows that so few foreigners are ever hired in India.

If India was responsible for all the world's IT, Indian Employers and Politicians would fight to keep Indian IT workers at home, to keep their competitive low-wage advantage. By encouraging them TO work abroad, it basically acknowledges it does not have the capability to hire them all.

But the few times India has experienced an influx, it hasn't been without major reservations. There are many Pakistani Muslims sneaking back into India and nobody wants that.

It is the concept that the fruit of a man's labor is his and his alone that built the Western World.

Also, because when one is a serf, all productivity is taken by the overlord and increasing production just makes the ruler increase your quota.
445   Patrick   2025 Oct 7, 8:39am  

Yes, the cause of poverty is always some form of corruption by the elite imho.

When people have a fair chance and can keep what they've worked for, societies flourish.

Some ways people get fucked by an elite and give up:

- Communism. Doesn't matter how much you work, the elite take everything.
- Highly concentrated land ownership. Doesn't matter how much you work, land rent will take everything. India may have this problem.
- Debt slavery. Doesn't matter how much you work, interest will take everything. The key is to stay out of debt.
- Mafias. Doesn't matter how much you work, the mafia will take everything. Russia was like that until recently, maybe still is.
- Foreign military conquers the country and makes everyone serfs, paying "tribute" back to the winners.
- Replacement by a more desperate population of workers and/or outsourcing of your job to a place with more desperate workers. The US right now.

Leaders who fight against those things are risking their lives because they are messing with the unjust profits of the elite.

Caesar proposed land reform and debt forgiveness and got killed because of it.

Trump is working on deportations and tariffs, and got shot because of it.

Disagree with HeadSet.
India was not poor even till 1820, so much evidence to prove this.

Alexander barely conquered what is now pakistan(king porus). His horses no match agaist elephants, he turned around n died on the way back. Next kingdom was 10 stronger so would have not survived.



Here is map of world gdp, india had hugh portion till 1820 till british started stealing industry, gold, diamonds. Taj mahal was built using indian labor n money. Queens crown jewel is indian, gifted by india wink wink.

I want to understand this white man's history.

India was the most egalitarian society in history of the world before the advent and spread of the Abrahamic religions.

In india when wars happened no one touched the ordinary citizens.

While wars were happening traders continued trading. Farmers were farming few feet away from the battle field. That was the reason they didn't understand how evil muslims and christians were when they attacked and occupied their lands.

I dont want to repeat myself but Britian looted 45 trillion$ according to some estimates. So how did you come to the conclusion that Indians were poor?

Bullshit estimates. It's always easier to use Britush colonialism that ended 77 years ago as an excuse to remain a Turd World shithole instead of addressing the real causes and deal with them.

India has been fighting islam since 700s. 1200 they actually started taking over State by state. around 1650 they took it back from islam. There were still constant attacks by Muslims. And now pakistan is still attacking, funded by west. So it was not ever without war. Then from Southern coast around 1600s British , French, portugese n Dutch switched from trade to colonization. So now you have multi front war. India had 550 kingdoms so they also were infighting. Weakened india made it easier to take over by British. Even under British, lot of kingdoms were semi independent.

After independent india had one gandhi family ,who are like democrats, sold the country to muslims and simultaneously keeping india poor. 70 years one family rule n fake democracy.

How long do you think the EIC took to occupy whole of India?
I am not sure why you think British were occupying force fighting the locals? They were fighting the muslim Invaders hence locals helped them in Bengal area of India. Once they had the foothold the used the Indian forces with better artillery to take over whole country.

Also EIC was funded by Indian traders because they didn't know they will become their rulers:

And you concur that population dont care who rules them. So why are you guys crying about caste system if it was prevalent in feudal system?

The difference between white feudalism and Indian feudalism is that population was not forced to join the fighting troops.

British left India 78 yrs ago. Yes. But India got complete freedom in 2014 when it stopped being anyones dog.

Indian air force was controlled by British officers until 1955.
Indian secret service was reporting to British until 1970's.

There's no excuse. India is a shithole due to India's fuckups, nothing more.

Singapore got its independence in the 1960s. Hell..it was thrown out of Malaysia. It started out as poor as India was. It started going its own way twenty years after India did. With practically zero natural resources.

What happened? Did they shit in the streets and blamed the filth on the Brits? No.

The colonialism victimhood card just doesn't fly. Its why your cities are shitholes and will continue to be. You blame the Brits so you can deflect from your own shame.

As of 2025, India's nominal GDP is estimated to be $4.19 trillion, making it the fourth-largest economy in the world. This positions India closely behind Germany and Japan, which have nominal GDPs of approximately $4.74 trillion and $4.18 trillion, respectively.

General accounting standards. A business is worth about 2-3 times its annual income, for example. Not the total income it ever made or sold to one customer.

And for nations, even less so. The wealth produced in the past doesn't reflect the present or future at all, by itself.

But India didn't. The Brits built it. And the roads. And whatever damns, canals, etc.

You don't want to face this harsh truth so you engage in all this projection and deflection that defies logic, mostly. You are even quoting a minister doing the very same. Right now.

And for nations, even less so. The wealth produced in the past doesn't reflect the present or future at all, by itself.

I am sorry man. This just looks like rant instead of making any point. I asked you a simple question. Do you believe UK drained 45 trillion$ worth resources from India or not. I dont care if you think India was rich or poor in this regard because there is no way I can change your beliefs about this.

MolotovCocktail says

But India didn't. The Brits built it. And the roads. And whatever damns, canals, etc.


Where did you get all this information. Are you really a white american. I rarely see or interact with white people who have so much "authority" on what british did in India? Did you study Indian history in your schooling years?

Now coming to your point about railways.The first commercial railways was built in 1826. How would "India" would have built it if it was under british rule?

Indians should have killed the 100,000 white men


It's fair to fight the British military for independence, but massacres based on race are always wrong.

I'm half Irish, but do not support massacring all the British who occupy Northern Ireland.

Do you know how singapore became so rich while making nothing? It was because of tax breaks and having a port at important location for trade routes.

No, it isn't. You just proved it by laying out what Singapore did. And the 'tax breaks' did build clean streets, either.

More like: You can't handle that the UK is not responsible for India being a fucked up nation for 70 years.
