Never thought I’d see the words “Uttar Pradesh” on the fediverse… For the unknown- Uttar Pradesh is the Ohio of India. A lot of weird and bizzare shit happen there.
You’re not kidding. I realized this when I heard about a 22-year-old woman who was killed by being pushed into a boiling vat because she resisted her assailants.
Well, Mumbai is the top metropolitan city in India. It makes sense you don’t want to visit Uttar Pradesh or any the other “hell states”. And, If you live in South Mumbai, you’re probably part of the top 1% or 5% of the country. So yeah, it makes sense overall.
I quickly went through your profile and saw you frequently post about U.S politics. May I ask why? I don’t mean to come as offensive, I’m just really curious. Have you immigrated or are you an international student?
I’m not the person you asked, but my guess is for the entertainment, but also because it’s something fucked up that has real-world implications. To me, it’s like watching a slow train wreck. It’s just as horrible but endlessly fascinating and a tiny bit cray cray.
I also want to point out that US politics tends to dominate in foreign news outlets, so it probably gathers a bigger audience than one would expect from inside the States. Trump may say the US has no exports, but it’s clear their biggest export is infotainment.
I mainly post ‘leopard ate my face’ kind of things.
Other than that I don’t think I’ve posted much about US politics. In fact, I’ve added Trump and Musk to filtered keywords because I’m sick of hearing about them.
That news was likely the mass cremations of people who died of COVID. Uttar Pradesh had one of the highest mortality rates in the country in the wake of the pandemic. A lot of them were low-income folk who died on the way to (or right outside) public hospitals that refused to accept them due to overcrowding, lack of equipment and supplemental oxygen, and gross mismanagement
The economic strata that is the majority of the population, is also the majority in hospitalization? Is there a useful point there?
refused to accept them due to over-crowding
Oxymoron right there.
And, if this was the scene in a Western nation, you would have used the correct word: “full”, instead of the motivated “overcrowding”.
How much more crass can you be at this? People close to me watched people die in queues outside hospitals, as they too waited with their F&F. Hospitals weren’t “overcrowded”, hospitals and staff were overwhelmed.
I’d like to know how you’d have done better. You can’t conjure up oxygen or great management in the disaster that it was.

But isn’t Taj Mahal located there?
I’m from Mumbai and you can’t pay me enough to visit Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, or Jharkhand.

Nope. Been a long time since I visited that part of the city.

Do I? 🤔

Incorrect. Uttar Pradesh is the Florida of India. If you hear of some fucked-up shit happening in India there’s a 50/50 chance it’s in Uttar Pradesh.
Uttar Pradesh Man is Florida Man’s Indian cousin.
I remember reading some COVID-related news from there, though that wasn’t on the fediverse because I wasn’t on the fediverse yet at the time.

This is classic third-worldliness porn.

Oh…oh no… Containment has been breached, Ohio is spreading.
I like that it’s Ohio, but not quite Florida.
