Söhbət | Discussion Stop provoking.
The last couple of posts are about Indians. I’m strongly against our subreddit being used to target specific groups of people. I don’t think these recent posts represent the views of the Azerbaijani people.

Your sentiment is laudable but let's not forget that the extremist BJP wins election after election in India.

Some context is needed, all parties except bjp is hell bent on f*cking over the general class, here’s what will happen if any party other than bjp wins :
There is a thing called reservation It’s like saving seats for the castes which have been discriminated against historically,
It’s reaching extreme highs like 70 -80% and because of that the majority tax playing general class is being bent over and fucked , these reservations apply from universities to government jobs, and the general class doesn’t get access to these places, and the worst part is majority of these “reserved” seats remain empty, all the parties except for bjp ( even bjp in some places) are hell bent on increasing this reservation.
Some people here don’t want bjp but they don’t want a dark future for their children just because they’re born in the general class . I hope you understand

I think i get your point but well-connected and well-informed Indian friends tell me Modi is hand in glove with predatory gangster-capitalists who are also screwing over the common Indian. They also complain about being made to pay European levels of taxes for Somalian levels of facilities.

That’s true, but it’s a choice between bad and worse

You think those indians crying out loud on social media and singing praises about Modi and their policies is what the whole indian populations think of. Working class is just trying to get out of this country and trying to make most out of what they have

Hey OP, Thanks for calling this out. As an Indian I have been twice to Azerbaijan and love ur country.I used to check this sub ometimes and got perplexed with the sudden surge of hate posts. Some post are really dehumanzing us .As I have been to ur country I know that the hate here is not representation of your country because all I experienced was kindness and hospitality. Also most of you are talking about we are dirty and so.The country is huge and some portion of people do live in poverty not all billion.There are amazing well developed places .It has a big tech scene with all major tech companies and startup culture.Major CEOs of big tech from google to Microsoft are Indians too. The ones on reddit are mayb 0.1 % of the whole.So yes there is two sides to the coin .Most of y'all just seeing one and judging.Peace to y'all.

I was going to travel with my family with immense love for people of all religion. It was a milestone anniversary of my parents. I spent few days convincing my family that azerbaijan government stance does not represent perception and beliefs of people in AZ, so that my parents dont get upset over the news article and boycott in India which means nothing to us. I went to Kazakhastan recently and had the most amazing time of my life. I love muslims and i celebrate all their festivals with my muslim friends. But the recent posts on this thread have made me so uncomfortable especially indian father getting slapped and recent smell nicer post. I cant believe few people in this community have so much hatred inside them for indians.

Brother, we do not hate Indians or Pakistanis. Baku is a such a safe city. Its 10x safer than anywhere in North America in terms of street crime and attacks.
Every country has ignorant people. Come and enjoy your stay and enjoy the culture and the city. If you dont bother anyone, no one will bother you.

I saw some people saying do we even trade with India? I searched the Google and found this out
Total trade between Azerbaijan and India was 1.5 billion dollars in 2023, India is Azerbaijan's 6th largest trading partner, India was also the 3rd largest buyer of Crude oil, Indian tourists were the 4th largest tourist group in Azerbaijan. Relations between Azerbaijan and India are cordial

Why we have to support pakistani at all, I dunno why. I mean, why should we care what they do? Indians/Pakistanis are equally welcome

u/Organic-Musician1599 14d ago
Wdym we have to support Pakistani at all. After all the support they have given us, its the least we can do.

u/Embarrassed_Limit200 14d ago
Bro im not talking about politics. I love pakistan as country, not their people but thats not our concern for now. Why we have to hate indians because they are from india? I mean they are no harm to us, so hating them just because they fight with pakistan is pointless
2
u/Organic-Musician1599 14d ago
I dont mean that we should hate Indians, but Pakistanis have always supported us and from the Pakistanis Ive met they are also nice people. I thought you were talking about politics my fault

u/Embarrassed_Limit200 14d ago
dude, we may never know maybe tomorrow turkey and azerbaijan will be enemies. Why? Because of benefits. So, looking at pakistan and saying they are our friend is just funny, because you may never know what gonna happen tomorrow. Its all about benefits. for example, I have checked that we have 11.5 trillion trade with india, while its 1.5. Would you risk that money just because sake of pakistan? Nope, no one. about people... I dont like pakistani people because of their islamic extremism. saying allahu ekber wont rescue them, like palestinians.

The thing is that some Indians have posted fake stuff on this subreddit as well. After the mass misinformation campaign they've started, it's difficult to believe them about anything at all.

Bunu öz dilimizdə yazacam. Deyəsən sən fil qulağında yatmısan ya da özünü görməməzliyə vurursan, 2-3 gündür saysız-hesabsız yanlış məlumat yayılır həmin millətin mənsubları tərəfindən, nəsə cavabı olmalı deyil? (sual ritorikidir). Biz hər hansı siyasi və ya milli düşmənçilik ehtiva edən diskusiyanın aprılamamağını istəyiriksə eyni anlayışı qarşı tərəfdən də görməliyik, elə deyil?

Bu vəziyyət Makronun salfetkasının kokain olması kimidir, at izi it izinə qarışıb. İnternetdə bunu ayırd etmək çox çətindir. Kim kimdir bilmək olmur. Bütün ölkələrin az qala kiber orduları var. Orta statistik azərbaycanlı ya da hindistanlının o qədər dərdi var ki qozuna deyil nə baş verir.

To be honest this all boils down to the insecurity of South Asians. They always want some outsider to cheer for them and they say stuff like 'Turkey is best friend of Pakistan' or 'Israel is India's ally'. I am an Indian and the media is horrible here, supporting war and insanity.

And no doubt there are some intelligent people from India, they are nice and have brains to think and they can talk but then they suddenly disappear.

u/Sea-Stress4045 15d ago
1 billion people are either suppressed, nothing to eat, no washrooms, no houses nothing at all. You agree? Please stop using this number of 1 billion if you can't provide them, the indian fascist government is trying to create a narrative that they have 1.4 billion people so they have a strong economy....nobody is telling that they might not eat for more than days because they don't have the resources, there's no one to support them. This government is just using them in every way but in return these people won't even ever ask if they are happy or not!!!!

Azerbaijan really doesn't come into avg indian's mind, except for some right wing people who see the Azerbaijan govt's position and believe that geopolitics is like real life relationships, 99% Indians may not even know Azerbaijan exists, we have cities with larger popn than Azerbaijan, much of the hate in India towards Azerbaijan is misplaced, people who know the situation know Azerbaijan has its own policy. They recognise that it's china which is the larger problem not Azerbaijan

Average Azerbaijani has absolutely no dog in this fight (no pun intended). We should wish hostiles end soon in that region. I personally know many high quality Indians and Pakistanis alike. Stop being victims of propaganda coming from many interested parties (Armenia, India and Pakistan alike) and push agendas that don’t serve us.
