    I kinda feel the opposite. Seen as some backwater third world country 30 years ago, to the most populous country in the world, a democracy aligned to its own goals forming a third pole in the global order apart from the US and Russia/China.

    Even their reputation as scammers comes from the insane growth of English-language tech work that is now focused in India.

    With the exception of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Islam is currently responsible for a majority of the war happening in the world and has been for the last two decades.

    The world would be a better place without Islam.

        There sadly are even more countries that are completely under control of religious leaders. Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Iran, Afghanistan, … Vatican City (they even have something like their own military).
