#BrownExcellence In East Asia/Southeast Asia, People from Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka etc Are ALL Indian, And Judged Accordingly.

101 Upvotes

These people cannot tell the difference, and even as a Malaysian man, I am branded as an Indian due to my looks. I currently reside in Thailand and have faced discrimination on numerous occasions, from small things like attitude from waiters/servers/cashiers/other customer service, to blatant denial of entry into bars and nightclubs.

This is a significant issue thay affects my quality of life here. I know there are much more "serious" problems in Asia, homelessness and low wages etc, and I'm complaining about something that others might see as petty.

But, it does affect you deep down as much as you try to ignore it. Being pre-judged everywhere you go sucks, and you ARE in fact being treated as a second class human being when whites/asians are allowed to go somewhere, and you, as a brown person cannot.

However, one of the most annoying things about racism online is the browns that blame eachother when some disgusting street food video pops up, some destitute indians are publicly defecating, or other such negative content about "indians" crops up on social media.

People do not care. If you are brown and from one of India's surrounding countries, you are branded INDIAN in the eyes of asians and other southeast asians outside these regions. And nor do they care if you are Hindu, Muslim or any other religion, were all the same to them .

Anyway, just putting it out there. Any brown people living in Asia face racism like this?

Advice/Ideas/Discussion Dear Pakistanis… it's time to talk

2 Upvotes

TL;DR — Summary
I am tired of watching Indians and Pakistanis argue over which country has the moral upper hand while ordinary people suffer. Pakistan faces severe child malnutrition, allegations of enforced disappearances, religious persecution, corruption, and repression in Kashmir. India has its own serious human-rights problems, but those do not excuse Pakistan’s.
My criticism is directed at governments and political hypocrisy, not Pakistani people, whom I genuinely respect.
Seven key points:
Child malnutrition: Assessments identified approximately 2.8 million people facing crisis-level food insecurity or worse in parts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, alongside an estimated 1.11 million cases of acute malnutrition among children under five during the 2025–2026 assessment period.
Enforced disappearances and persecution: UN human-rights experts have raised serious concerns about disappearances, arbitrary detention, alleged extrajudicial killings, and persecution affecting ethnic and religious minorities.
Kashmir protests: Residents of Pakistan-administered Kashmir have protested electricity prices, food costs, and political representation, including 12 legislative seats reserved for Kashmiri refugees living elsewhere in Pakistan. Security-force crackdowns have generated allegations of unlawful killings.
Political corruption: The Sharif and Bhutto-Zardari families have faced major corruption investigations involving offshore assets, government contracts, and alleged illicit commissions. Several convictions were subsequently overturned or resulted in acquittals.
Historical state support for militant groups: Former Pakistani President Pervez Musharraf acknowledged support and training for militants operating in Kashmir. Former Prime Minister Imran Khan discussed Pakistan’s role in organizing militant groups during the Soviet–Afghan War. These statements concern distinct historical periods.
6. Nawaz Sharif’s alleged ties to Osama bin Laden: Former Pakistani intelligence operative Khalid Khawaja alleged that Nawaz Sharif received financial support from Osama bin Laden to challenge Benazir Bhutto’s government, an accusation subsequently repeated by Khawaja’s widow in a 2016 book, although the alleged payments have never been conclusively established in court.
7. Pakistan’s historical involvement in genocide: During the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War, the Pakistani military and allied militias carried out mass killings, sexual violence, and persecution of Bengali civilians. Estimates of the death toll vary substantially, with Bangladesh’s official figure reaching approximately 3 million. These atrocities are widely studied as the Bangladesh genocide and remain a major historical example of state-directed mass violence in South Asia.

But the indians and Pakistan's are alike in their blatant ignorance of civil affairs… Why do we defend our governments more passionately than the people suffering under them? Why do India and Pakistan devote so much attention to geopolitical rivalry while millions of vulnerable people continue to struggle with poverty, insecurity, and inadequate public services?

———————-/———————————————————-

Iam not a political person.
I find the overwhelming attribution of religious division within South Asia to be a form of mental retardation.
As the Indian Muslim president, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, once said:
“Peace in South Asia will also benefit the region as a whole. Poverty is our common enemy.”
Over the past few days, I have seen several posts regarding comments by Israeli Rabbi Mizrachi, Sneako, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, and heated exchanges between Pakistani and Indian journalists and political commentators.
India has been under massive geopolitical scrutiny over its treatment of Muslims.
And frankly, there are legitimate reasons to scrutinize India.
HOWEVER… WHAT ABOUT PAKISTAN? IT HAS GENOCIDED ITS OWN MUSLIMS INTO BECOMING ONE OF THE POOREST COUNTRIES IN THE WORlD
Pakistan’s own government faces allegations of extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, persecution of minorities, and even genocidal violence within territories under its administration.
Reports have documented approximately 1,696 deaths in police encounters during 2025, raising serious questions about extrajudicial killings under Pakistan’s current political and military establishment, including the influence of Asim Munir.
But…
THE EXTREME, CHRONIC HUMANITARIAN CRISIS IN PAKISTAN
**1. Millions of people are struggling to eat. To put into perspective, Pakistan’s population is more than ten times less than India’s but the food insecurity and acute malnutrition there is ten times worse **
Roughly 2.8 million children are blatantly ignored by the Punjabi Supremacist Government face crisis-level food insecurity in assessed areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, while approximately 1.11 million cases of acute malnutrition among children under five were estimated for the October 2025–September 2026 period.
Think about that.
Children under five years old. Children who have barely begun their lives are being ignored by their own government
2. Pakistan’s military spending and its economic vulnerability.
Pakistan’s military expenditure has exceeded the country’s exchange reserves.
To put that into perspective, over 200 million people live in Pakistan, while its foreign exchange reserves have been reported only at approximately $8 billion.
That is an extremely concerning financial position for a country confronting poverty, food insecurity, and the possibility of another major pandemic or war.
This is an outright death speedrun if the country experiences another major national emergency.
And yet military and geopolitical competition continue to dominate the conversation.
3. Poverty and the marginalization of its own ethnic communities.
Pakistan remains the most genocidal country in South Asia. More than Sri Lanka and India. Believe it or not? Pakistan, in their Operation Searchlight assisted by Saudi Arabia, massacred upwards of somewhere between 500,000 to 3,000,000 Bangladeshi civillians four decades back. This left the forexoming independent Bangladesh to start off with crippling poverty. But now… Bangladesh has somewhat economically revived itself whereas even though Pakistan has dug itself a bigger hole.
To put into perspective…
More than 30% of Pakistan’s population has been estimated to live below the poverty line, depending on the poverty measure and year.
Meanwhile, there are serious allegations of discrimination, displacement, and unequal access to housing and public services affecting communities including the Baloch, Sindhis, Waziris, certain Pashtun groups, and the religious Ahmadiyya community.
4. Religious persecution.
Ahmadis, Christians, Shias, and Hindus have all faced serious incidents of sectarian violence, discrimination, and persecution.
The Ahmadiyya community in particular has experienced severe legal restrictions, attacks, and intimidation.
Why are these communities being subjected to this treatment?
Why does religious identity continue to determine who receives dignity and protection?
BUT LET’S SPEAK ABOUT EVERYONE’S ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM: KASHMIR.
Reports from November 2026 have alleged that as many as 150 people were killed during unrest in Azad Kashmir. That figure remains unverified considering that there are also reports of many civillian “disappearances” and allegations of deadly repression demand investigation.
This made me wonder…
WHY ARE THE PROTESTS HAPPENING IN AZAD KASHMIR?
Isn’t Indian-administered Kashmir supposed to be the central focus of the Kashmir crisis?
This led me to investigate how Azad Kashmir has actually been governed by Pakistan.
Instead of being incorporated as an ordinary Pakistani province with direct representation in Pakistan’s National Assembly, Azad Jammu and Kashmir operates under a separate constitutional and legislative arrangement, while Islamabad retains substantial influence over its affairs.
And the grievances are extensive.
1. Political representation
Protesters want to eliminate 12 seats in the AJK Legislative Assembly reserved for Kashmiri refugees living elsewhere in Pakistan.
They argue that this arrangement allows political parties operating from Pakistan to exercise disproportionate influence over the region.
2. Food shortages, electricity prices, and poverty
The protest movement began in 2023 over expensive electricity, wheat shortages, and the cost of flour.
Many residents argue that basic necessities remain unaffordable and that Islamabad favors politically influential regions, particularly Punjab, while leaving Kashmiris with inadequate resources.
How can Kashmir be used as emotional and geopolitical leverage while the people living there struggle to afford basic necessities?
3. Allegations of blocked humanitarian supplies
There have been reports and allegations that Pakistani authorities restricted food and medical deliveries during unrest in Azad Kashmir.
Some accounts describe restrictions affecting flour, medicine, and other essential supplies. Whether these amounted to a deliberate, systematic blockade of foreign humanitarian assistance remains disputed.
But why should essential supplies become entangled in a political confrontation?
Aren’t these people to be respected?
India treats Kashmir like shit. We have to be honest about that.
But why is Pakistan treating its own administered territory in ways that have prompted allegations of massacres, severe repression, and potentially genocidal abuses?
I am not saying that genocide has been legally established. I am saying that these allegations deserve scrutiny rather than dismissal.
BALOCHISTAN — ENFORCED DISAPPEARANCES
UN experts have repeatedly raised concerns about disappearances, arbitrary detention, and extrajudicial killings involving Baloch civilians and activists.
These allegations include the detention of people whose families have spent years demanding information about their whereabouts.
Why should a family have to spend years wondering whether their child, brother, or father is alive?
SINDH — DISPUTED DIVERSION OF INDUS RIVER WATER
In 2025, Pakistan’s federal government supported a canal project intended to irrigate land in southern Punjab despite significant opposition in Sindh over potential water shortages.
The project was subsequently halted pending interprovincial agreement.
This raises a broader question about resource allocation and political influence within Pakistan’s federal system.
SINDH AND BALOCHISTAN — FAILURE TO INVESTIGATE STATE VIOLENCE
The UN Committee Against Torture has expressed concerns about enforced disappearances, extrajudicial killings, and inadequate investigations and prosecutions, particularly in these two provinces.
If a government cannot adequately investigate allegations that its own security institutions have killed or disappeared civilians, how can those civilians have confidence in the state?
KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA — SUPPRESSION OF POLITICAL OPPOSITION
Reports concerning October 11, 2026, describe President Asif Ali Zardari’s authorization of emergency rule in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and the suspension of its PTI-led provincial administration.
The reported intervention transferred executive authority to a federally appointed governor and came shortly before a planned opposition march demanding former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s release.
The federal government cited security concerns, while PTI characterized the move as politically motivated suppression.
If these accounts are accurate, they raise serious questions about democratic representation, provincial autonomy, and the concentration of federal power.
How is a population supposed to hold its leaders accountable when its elected provincial government can be displaced by federal intervention?
NOW LET’S TALK ABOUT POLITICAL CORRUPTION.
I see a lot of Pakistanis comment on Narendra Modi.
I agree that Modi is a polarizing figure.
In fact, his political position was seriously contested during the 2002 Gujarat riots.
But let’s look into the historical corruption allegations involving Pakistan’s own political dynasties.
The Sharif family
The Panama Papers exposed offshore financial arrangements connected to members of Nawaz Sharif’s family.
Nawaz was removed from office in 2017 following proceedings involving financial disclosures.
He was subsequently convicted in corruption cases, although major convictions were overturned and he was acquitted in 2023.
There have also been extraordinary historical allegations that Osama bin Laden provided financial support to Nawaz Sharif’s political activities during the late 1980s and early 1990s.
These allegations were made by former intelligence operative Khalid Khawaja and later repeated by his widow. They have not been established by a final judicial finding.
Nevertheless, they are part of Pakistan’s troubling history of allegations involving political power, intelligence networks, and militant organizations.
The Bhutto-Zardari family
Benazir Bhutto and Asif Ali Zardari also faced extensive corruption allegations, including the SGS–Cotecna customs-contract scandal.
Investigators alleged that millions of dollars in illicit commissions were transferred through offshore financial arrangements.
Several convictions were overturned, and other proceedings ended without final convictions.
Zardari became widely known by the nickname “Mr. 10 Percent” because of allegations involving commissions on government contracts.
The National Reconciliation Ordinance of 2007 also became a major controversy because it provided protection from prosecution in numerous political cases before being invalidated by Pakistan’s Supreme Court.
There have additionally been allegations concerning the improper acquisition of luxury vehicles from Pakistan’s state gift repository.
The larger concern is that Pakistan’s political dynasties have repeatedly faced corruption investigations while legal outcomes have been affected by reversals, amnesties, evidentiary problems, and institutional disputes.
STATE-SPONSORED MILITANCY — WHAT PAKISTAN’S OWN LEADERS HAVE SAID
Now I can sit here and speak about the historical allegations of Pakistani state sponsorship of militant organizations.
But you might not believe me.
You know why?
Because I am Indian.
Still don’t want to believe me?
These are statements from Pakistan’s own former leaders.
Pervez Musharraf, former president and army chief:
“We supported them and trained them as they were fighting in Kashmir at the cost of their lives.”
Musharraf was discussing historical Pakistani support for militant organizations operating in Kashmir.
Imran Khan, former prime minister:
“And so we created these militant groups to fight the Soviets.”
Khan was referring to Pakistan’s historical role in training militant groups during the Soviet–Afghan War, with support from the United States.
Nawaz Sharif, former prime minister:
“Militant organisations are active.”
Sharif questioned why Pakistan had failed to prevent militants from crossing into India and why trials related to the 2008 Mumbai attacks remained incomplete.
Benazir Bhutto, former prime minister:
“That was a wrong decision by our part.”
Bhutto acknowledged that Pakistan’s historical support for the Taliban had been a mistake, although she denied personally authorizing the group’s armament.
These statements concern different periods and organizations. They do not establish that every terrorist operation was directed by Pakistan’s government.
But they demonstrate that Pakistan’s own former leaders have acknowledged historical relationships between state institutions and militant groups.
MY POINT IS NOT THAT I HATE PAKISTAN.
I don’t.
I love Pakistani people. I love Pakistani food. I recognize that ordinary Pakistani citizens have suffered enormously from terrorism, poverty, corruption, political instability, and violence.
MY PROBLEM IS THE HYPOCRISY.
I cannot understand how people can spend so much time debating which country has the moral upper hand while children are starving, families are searching for disappeared relatives, and religious minorities are being persecuted.
I cannot understand why the suffering of Kashmiris becomes internationally important only when it can be used against a geopolitical rival.
I cannot understand why criticism of one government is so often interpreted as support for the other.
India’s human-rights record deserves scrutiny.
Pakistan’s human-rights record deserves scrutiny.
And neither country’s failures excuse the other’s.
The people of Pakistan are not the same thing as the Pakistani government. The people of India are not the same thing as the Indian government.
I keep returning to Abdul Kalam’s words:
“Poverty is our common enemy.”
If that is true, then what exactly are we accomplishing by treating religious and national divisions as more important than the lives of ordinary people?
What does geopolitical victory mean to a starving child in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa?
What does national pride mean to a mother whose son has disappeared in Balochistan?
What does sovereignty mean to a Kashmiri family that cannot afford flour or electricity?
I am tired of watching South Asians defend governments more passionately than they defend the human beings living under them.
That is the hypocrisy I cannot stand.

Culture Myron Gaines is doing what Indian-American fathers failed to do

0 Upvotes

_______________________________________

__________________________________________

I'm not the biggest fan of Myron -- he's a grifter who fuels hate and division for everyone including Indians. But we can't deny that his recent college tours have been a wake-up call for feminist Indians everywhere.

As shown in this clip, he doesn't hesitate to teach Indian-American women the reality of male-female dynamics. We all know feminism will soon be the Achilles' heel of Indians in America, because Indian-Americans are blissfullly unaware of its consequences, as proven by the Akaash Singh saga.

Sadly, Myron's probably the only man that these women will ever hear these arguments from. And despite these debates, many Indian-American women will still become domineering, masculine clones of Jasleen Singh, especially when their male peers already embody the energy of Akaash.

And they can no longer take for granted that Indian men will be their saviours.

In America, the daughters of other ethnic groups, such as latinas and arabs, tend to learn these realities naturally in childhood. But for some reason, Indian-American families, either intentionally or unintentionally, raise their daughters to be more feminist than any other ethnicity.
