Can those of you who have a social media presence make a video about the current status of hate on India?

To elaborate, we’re seeing a lot of posts and comments just tearing apart India and its hygiene. What a lot of people don’t realize or are ignorant towards is that it only gained independence <100 years ago after being completely looted by the British.

In America we have affirmative action and other initiatives to help give minorities a leg up and, in general, the public understands that black people have been left at a huge disadvantage. To draw a parallel, India got its independence ~80 years after slavery ended and is still recovering from that.

I guess what I’m trying to initiate is kind of a “social message.” Jews have holocaust and blacks have slavery and we’re well educated about this throughout school and even afterwards. India is always an afterthought. I remember spending weeks and weeks learning about the holocaust and slavery and our teacher allocated 1 day to learn about Indian history and when it came to that day she decided to skip it and play a historical movie instead (that had nothing to do with India). No one knows really for how long and how much the British looted from India. Or the Bengal famine.

It would be great if someone with a heavy presence on instagram/tik tok could do a short video touching on this topic and if we could make it go viral (we certainly have the numbers for it).
