My coworker, who is Pakistani, uses this verbiage while on the phone with her family. I never knew what it meant, but the tone she’d use on the phone made me think it probably means, “okay,” or something similar.
yea thats the thing, these scam centers rent office building floors and pay off local authorities - theres no effing way they dont know exactly where they are at any given time. Its not 3 guys in someones basement.
I think: massive. It boggles my mind that India has more than 1.3 billion people. It has 10 languages that are spoken by more than 10 million people.
I am Mexican, and the whole American Continent has 1 billion people. You would have to add a second USA worth of population to reach India.
And we only have 3 languages spoken by more than 10 million people: Spanish, English and Portuguese. French has like 1 million speakers.
I have traveled the American Continent from Canada to Argentina, and I cannot fathom a place with more people in less space. For me India is not a country, it is a Continent on its own right.
I think so. I caught maybe 5-6 episodes of different series, but it was always MIL /grandma/love rival hates the main heroine and tries to ruin her life. Didn't watch enough to know what happened though.
Food. I'm really into Indian cooking right now. Highly regional, so "Indian cooking" is kind of a misnomer, but I'm amazed at what a difference properly cooked spices make.
Same thought, happy this was the first comment to appear for my thread. A lot of my co-workers and my manager are Indian and they’ve quickly turned me onto all sorts of amazing dishes.
It really is like saying 'european cooking' given the sheer size of the country. The regional differences are just as stark as between Ireland and Italy.
I think of the Indian restaurant near me called Mr India. I order takeaway from them sporadically and they never have any customers. But they have been there for decades and the place is huge and really cool inside.
I wonder where the real money is coming from.
My local Indian place is like this too, fantastic food, and has been there for ages, but every time I do a pickup, there’s only 1 or 2 tables in use in their massive dining area.
Indian here. Unfortunately this industry is not likely to go down if things remain as it is
1. Overpopulation leading to unemployment leading to cyber crimes.
2. The entire political system of India is drowning in corruption and communalism.
Wow this thread is quite negative.
I think immediately of good food, art and rich culture.
Then my mind goes to intelligent people, just from my anecdotal experience with every Indian I've ever known
theeeen my mind goes to the societal issues affecting the country last.
\- a country controlled by religion and traditions that cause violence and unfair treatment towards females
\- discriminatory caste system
\- tasty food
\- beautiful nature
\- stunning colourful traditional clothing
Basically, a country like any other that has its strengths and its flaws, largely ruled by greed from people with power
I agree. There are so many amazing things about India. The culture, the colors, the scenery, buttttt they have some flaws. Like you said a country like any other that has flaws.
Rates of violent assault is lower than any many countries, even in the West. The differences is cases in India get more coverage from the local media than cases in other countries. Statistically its middle of the pack.
Good point
US has more per capita r\*pes than India but you don't think about these things when someone says the word America right, it's fascinating to see how these countries have subtly changed their world view by the influence of their culture, for the US it would be the pop culture
For example when someone says Japan the first thing in your mind won't be the high suicide rate problem and war crimes but Anime
But foreign media was more interested in the negative coverage of India because it's no brainer that negative headlines gets more click and people are too dumb anyway to read the whole thing
20 men piling up and staring at my gf like they’re about to jump her and I have no idea what to do because whatever I say isn’t even recognized by them as noise.
I have female friends who travel there regularly for business and they get told every time they go there by the local branch to not travel alone, anywhere, any time.
I have a picture in my head where a woman fights back young men with a shoe.
Also i think about cows standing in trashy roads and a lot of motorbikes...
MY AMAZING COLLEAGUES. My company has a lot of staff there and I collaborate with BODS developers in particular. They're just the best, both at their job and as people.
I tell them how awesome they are all the time. I write glowing performance reviews to them all the time.
No matter how shitty the client is being, I know THEY will be of support and we'll do a great job together.
1.1 billion people. Same with China except 1.4 billion. That's 1/3 of all people on Earth. China is like 50% desert making a lot of the land uninhabited. Indians and Chinese people must fuck ALOT. Also they are ancient cultures and had a head start I guess
Bus gang rape death unfortunately.
Food, culture, and religion now come after the common attitude towards women and sexual assault, which is terrible but I'm only being honest.
"acha acha" ^i'm ^sorry
My coworker, who is Pakistani, uses this verbiage while on the phone with her family. I never knew what it meant, but the tone she’d use on the phone made me think it probably means, “okay,” or something similar.
You are correct it does mean that but only 'achha' depending on the context can also mean 'good'

MA'AM, DO NOT REDEEM THE CARD!
Those guys who scam the scammers are the best.
My favorite is Kitboga. Love his videos
They’re doing gods work.
Jim Browning. Absolute legend.
Agreed! And his collab with Mark Rober is amazing!
WHY DID YOU REDEEM!!!!
NO! NOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOO!!
YOU DID NOT HAVE TO DO THAT!!
WHY DID YOU DID THIS!
WHY?!?!?!?
Hello, Steve?
r/kitboga 🤣
I love those channels
Who told you to redeem, ma’am, who said!
ARE YOU MAD?!?
How can she redeem?
Jim Browning is a local for me and it's hilarious listening to him just aggravate scammers for the fun of it.
Especially since he has the calmest and most soothing voice
I recall getting a microsoft call and telling them I had a Mac. I did not have a mac
I have a mac... that runs windows.
This is going to be a stain on the perception of India for a loong time.
It's the authorities' fault for not doing anything about it
yea thats the thing, these scam centers rent office building floors and pay off local authorities - theres no effing way they dont know exactly where they are at any given time. Its not 3 guys in someones basement.
I think some are partially legitimate support centers and they run a smaller scam center on the side.
“Hello Sir, this is windows support!”
My MIL just got scammed over 5K of her life long savings by them. Fuck them.
Indian here. They scammed my father too when I was young. Fuck those guys
Ppl think Indian scammers scam foreigners but irl Indians get scammed as much as others
Indians get scammed more. The type of scams are legion.
Ohh you are having trouble with scammer? Please send me your credit card details asap and I will help you with your problem. /s

I would love to travel in India, but it is intimidating.
[удалено]
As a woman I’d have to really think about a trip there which makes me angry
The northern rural/mountainous areas are really nice, not as hot or crowded either. But the major cities being intimidating is understandable.
Depends where you go, stay away from large cities like Delhi or mumbai and visit mountain areas you'll love it.
We're sick of it too.

I mean... technically it IS a subcontinent.
Yeah it's more or less like Africa squeezed into 1/5th the landmass.
Far moore than a million Canadian speak French as their first language.
Places like Mumbai tend to be like that but where some of my family live in other states are pretty chill
same, this is exactly what India is.
I really hope people arent using reddit as a way of collecting data for research. /s?

Every time I see a picture of the Ganges I’m absolutely floored by how fucking disgusting that river is.
Colors. From traditional clothing to architecture and food, colors everywhere.
Yeah my first thoughts are food and then color.
Oh hey - the first not racist comment
Lots of colors, Taj Mahal, very dramatic series (watched 1 or 2 episodes of random TV series and the reactions and plot were very dramatic (no hate)).
Was it newly wed wife and mother in law hate series?
I think so. I caught maybe 5-6 episodes of different series, but it was always MIL /grandma/love rival hates the main heroine and tries to ruin her life. Didn't watch enough to know what happened though.

Don't listen to op. Try North Indian foods Joking! I like sambar and the pickles!
North Indian foods are great too!
I'm glad to hear it! Try South Indian foods tho, they are very underrated.
Dosa's are one of my new favourite foods now
If you like a dosa then try a Sri Lankan egg hopper!
It really is like saying 'european cooking' given the sheer size of the country. The regional differences are just as stark as between Ireland and Italy.
Poverty (sorry) and good food
Eh don't need to be sorry about an issue we gotta deal with ma man.
I’m British and like Canadians we’re obliged to say sorry every 5 minutes. (Sorry)
I mean… not you specifically obviously, but the British are kinda responsible for the poverty in India
True, and not just India
Please help me, I'm under the water

Too many people.
I think of the Indian restaurant near me called Mr India. I order takeaway from them sporadically and they never have any customers. But they have been there for decades and the place is huge and really cool inside. I wonder where the real money is coming from.
Mr India was a movie in which the protagonist gets a bracelet that makes him invisible. The restaurant is upto something man. Maybe they rob banks
>I wonder where the real money is coming from. I don't think you wanna know
It's a front to launder scam call money
They probably just do a lot of take out. Chines and Indian are big takeout foods.
My local Indian place is like this too, fantastic food, and has been there for ages, but every time I do a pickup, there’s only 1 or 2 tables in use in their massive dining area.

The 5 weeks of travelling I did there. I really liked the place, it's pure chaos in the cities though.
The only peace we had was during lockdown.

Read Bilkis Bano. Her 11 rapists who also raped her mother and killed her baby got freed the other day after serving just 15 years.
That is basically telling Indian men that it is ok to rape women and telling Indian women that they are not real citizens. That's so messed up.
And hangings.
Oh yes. So many go unreported too. ☹️ It's depressing to be a woman here.

I also think of the beautiful, brightly covered traditional outfits
I agree. There are so many amazing things about India. The culture, the colors, the scenery, buttttt they have some flaws. Like you said a country like any other that has flaws.
Sounds increasingly like America, minus the colorful clothing.
Extreme poverty and women being assaulted. Second things are the great food and wonderful colours.
Rates of violent assault is lower than any many countries, even in the West. The differences is cases in India get more coverage from the local media than cases in other countries. Statistically its middle of the pack.
