What do you think of the greatest indian empire ever?
>>1172392
Disappointing

It is an empire exclusively within India therefore it is an Indian Empire
Remove yourself from here

All I know is that their failure in Total War creates the biggest menace the world has ever seen.
Hindus truly become unstoppable.
>>1172392
But modern day India is the greatest Indian empire ever.
>inb4 pictures of people pooing in streets and hanging off the sides of trains.
India is fucking rad, but still has a long way to go.
>>1172428
Of course not.
>>1172483
It's not an empire though. It is a democracy.
Besides which the Raj was larger.
>>1172483
Every country's ministry of foreign affairs urges their countryment to take vaccines before they go.

They seemed to have pretty great aesthetics, what went wrong?
>>1172501
Yeah but the Raj wasn't Indian, it was a British entity that ruled the entirety of India.
In the Raj you were also liable to starve to death or get shot by British soldiers.
>mughal
>indian
nope.
>>1172483
If your country is literally the country with the most suffering and pestilence and dirt on earth, you are not fucking rad and getting there, you are hell on earth.
even in africa, nothing can compete with india at its worst, wild animals fight over the right to eat dead infants in the street, everyone has some disease, people have no concept of not shitting where they eat and perhaps worst of all, their source of art and entertainment is bollywood
>>1172534
India is mid ranked in HDI and while the high level of street defecation is disgusting saying " people have no concept of not shitting where they eat" is just /pol/ style shitposting.

>It's not an empire though. It is a democracy.
So the British Empire wasn't an empire?
>>1172608
Touche.
But modern India has no monarch, which is a prerequisite for being described as an empire.
>>1172534
Oh, India is poor as fuck. But it's always been poor as fuck, the great thing about modern India is they seem to be making some progress away from this. By now their economic growth has even surpassed China.
>perhaps worst of all, their source of art and entertainment is bollywood
Don't you shit on glorious Bollywood, bro.
>>1172617
To be fair neither did the Third Reich yet people still call it an empire.
>>1172624
>To be fair neither did the Third Reich yet people still call it an empire.
Who?
>>1172622
India isn't poor at all, it's got plenty of money. Don't confuse people being poor with a country being poor. Not that Indians are particularly poor anymore, huge expanding middle class.
>>1172632
Do you not know that "Reich" literally means empire?
>>1172534
>perhaps worst of all, their source of art and entertainment is bollywood
How can you hate on this?

It does.

>>1172667
It is an accomplishment.
China's growth is still huge, the fact that India has managed to overtake it means that they're definitely doing something right even if it's taken them a while.
>>1172665
Median PPP wage is a far better indicator than HDI and in that area India is bottom 30%.

Reich doesn't have a precise English translation but 'realm' would be closer than 'empire'.
>>1172657
>Canada
>not an Empire
>>1172679
In English it's invariably used as a synonym for empire, thus why it's referred to as the "Third Reich" which is half in English and half in German.
When English speaking people say the "Third Reich", they never mean "Third Realm".
>>1172674
Nigger the only reason it overtook China's growth is because it slowed down.
>>1172683
Yeah but the population of Canada is fucking tiny.
There's a reason why Canada wasn't an empire during the British empire, yet India was.
>>1172689
Reich isn't used at all in English except in relation to Germany. You never hear the Third Reich described as an empire.
>>1172689
No it is not synonymous with Empire in english.
>>1172696
because canada is newly settled while the landscape that comprises india is composed of many previous kingdoms, which is usually what qualifies you to be an empire?
>>1172704
Except India is literally not an empire.
>>1172715
no of course not, but it was.
>>1172698
Yes you do.
>>1172700
Yes it is, we also call the Holy Roman Empire as such when in German it was called "Heiliges Römisches Reich".
Everytime "Reich" is used to describe an empire of some description it is always translated into English as "Empire".
>>1172728
No it is not.
It is interchangeable with a number of words. There is no direct official translation of reich.
>>1172392
Even at their height they lacked the relative strength that earlier Indian empires had.
The Marathas put up a much better fight then they did.
But the modern Indian Republic is much stronger and more united than any of its predecessors.
>>1172484
Curious, are Indian Muslims just as dirty as Indian Hindus?
>>1174144
They are literally the same, and every bit as autistic.

>>1174156
I always wondered if Salman was the dude in the right or the left, and if he knew that Asif had this autistic shit in mind when taking the photo.
>>1174144
Funny you ask.. there's an actual study called the "Muslim mortality "paradox that concluded that Muslims in India have a longer lifespan than Hindus despite having less income because they are less likely to practice open deification
>>1172622
You do realise the bigger your economy the smaller you grow right?
> There is cause to worry about China’s economy, but this special report will show that there are plenty of reasons to be hopeful as well. Growth may be sagging, but even if, as many believe, it is only 5% today, that represents more economic output than the 14% seen in 2007 because the economy is so much bigger.
