Great read! And totally agree. An article in a similar vein that you might like is the "The Cultural Superpowers of 2072"
"By 2070 India’s population should be around 1.7 billion. If English speaking rates increase in India from the current 12% to a more modest 30%, that means that there will be over 500 million Indian English speakers. Add that to the number of English speakers from other countries and it is clear how online culture in English will change because of this."
Great article ser. Two things really caught my attention: (1) the way you characterised and referred to Pakistan and its people (they are our long lost family indeed); (2) your recognition of the fact that India is a civilisation pretending to be a country.
Would love to connect with you sometime for a quick chat - I think we have lots to discuss! Hit me up on telegram or Twitter @p1modi
Good article and articulation. One thing I took a double take on was this assertion. “ They look at India and see a billion people who would be conservatives if they lived in their western countries, and that scares the hell out of them.” How did you come up with that?
There are already a sizable portion of Indians already in western countries. Have you looked at how they vote?
If you haven’t, let me give you an example. In America, Indians are one of the most strongest supporters of the Democrats. Looking at that evidence, I wonder how someone can assert that the west is scared of 1 billion conservatives in the making.

I’ve met lots of Western bloggers and influencers who are already being influenced by Indian trends and ideologies.
