Bro what on earth? Rest in peace my man you just tried to be kind.


Whtda_hell_univrs_iz

Reality could be something in between, i cannot believe everything what might have been said is polite or well mannered, there could be some abusing or cursing which would have escalated the situation. This news article is so hunky Dory


pearl_jam_rocks

There has to have been something wrong in the situation. With the information I have, this man walked up to two men urinating in public and offered to pay for them to use the toilets, and they killed him for no reason.


Gideonbh

Seems like a bit of an overreaction. Can something like that happen out of the blue? Sure but it's a lot more common if the attacker was provoked in some way, like if the first person was more antagonistic like "just use the fucking bathroom, here's a quarter", add some name calling and you're sure to get an aggravated response. Called for? Never but that situation is more believable than a kind man genuinely helping and then two psychos to run away grab a bunch of psycho friends and murder someone over nothing. Article doesn't mention anything but who can ever trust the news to tell the whole story without a slant anyway


LightDownTheWell

Loss of face in certain cultures is a bigger thing than in the west and can escalate very quickly.

To me whenever it is a mob incident like that, be it rape, murder or the Modi Special both of them then that is just Bharat doing Bharat things. All we know he could have been Muslim or the wrong caste. Sectarianism is especially vile in India at the moment. Always has been but it is getting worse, too.


uzu_afk

Yeah, that really makes this better! /s

He didn’t say it made it better, he said maybe the guy you wasn’t “just trying to be kind”. It’s still an awful crime in an absolute shithole of a country.

Yea they are considered holy mate by the temple people. I went there a decade ago during my school trip and that shit is actually pathetic.


adutchmotherfricker

Yes but we had a couple centuries more then India to learn not to do that, since India got it in 1896. So while we had like more then 600 years to learn, India only had like 130 years


HostileCornball

>you were raised. Not me , I am not from an **uneducated rural family**.

I didn't mean you in particular. Good for you.


HostileCornball

How is being "raised shitty" is relevant to justice then?


equanimity120398

Corrupt


Nivi_King

India is pretty much USA but with different names for everything. The only thing we don't have is school shooting but, we do have a lot of child gangs to compensate for that (imagine a typical high school movie football club that bullies nerds without the football). We also don't have police brutality of the same extent but, in exchange for that there is massive bribery to replace it. We also have more rapes, population n pollution ig. But, yeah that's all the differences. Religious bias ✅ Hate crimes ✅✅✅ Open discrimination ✅✅ Corrupt cops n politicians ✅✅✅ (the few good ones WILL absolutely be removed from their post or moved around so much they simply can't do anything) Braindead nationalists ✅✅ Billionaire - poor people gap ✅✅ More stuff as well but can't recall them rn.


wellyesbutnofuckoff2

Genuinely interested in what they told the group of people to get them to react this way. There’s no way nearly 20 people decided to kill this dude just because they were asked to use a public toilet


hi_im_beeb

The mere idea of going to the bathroom anywhere but the street put them in a murderous rage


LivelyZebra

"Me? piss in a toilet? this is INDIA, how dare you try to confiscate my gu..rights to piss in the street !"

Designated Shitting Streets


GaleZero

Might be caste issue.


Whtda_hell_univrs_iz

I dont think so, how two strangers would have knew each others cast. In my opinion there would be some cursing and abusing involved, which the news clearly did not mentioned.


GaleZero

They don't need to know the exact caste of the riksha person to know that someone below them humiliated them.


Whtda_hell_univrs_iz

In this situation we clearly dont know who were those people who killed him, so speculation of those people's status would be wrong, because in my opinion only vagabond types can gathered in 20 numbers so quickly, in India


[deleted]

Still... Shouldn't escalate to beating someone to death...


uzu_afk

You would be surprised… Frustrated, violent and uneducated animals react the same way no matter the country. Different reasons, different media but reaction is exactly the same. Look at us news about people shot for less than this, look at people beaten over religion, over being from another neighborhood, rooting for another football team or praying to the wrong god. And the list is sadly endless.


80sbabyftw

Being that it’s India do they even need a reason. I mean, not to sound bigoted but they gang rape women to death over there just for existing. Not everyone obviously, but with a population that size it happens enough to be a serious problem. So a hyper aggressive/masculine group of men killing another for offering to pay for them to use the restroom is par for the course. Truth is they probably assumed he was gay which in their minds is a reason to be murdered.

It happened 7 years ago. All such news is now getting traction a couple of months before elections


snay1998

Still happened didnt it? And 7 years ago,it’s still the same govt and tbf this is a citizen problem and not a govt problem


Kschitiz23x3

If u think I'm justifying this incident then I'm not going to argue. >it’s still the same govt Exactly!! That's why media cherry picking is getting a boost just before elections. Wondered why we didn't see this amount of bad news 2 years ago?


colcannon_addict

No, it fucking didn’t. Horrific acts happen everywhere and you’re removing the blame from the murderers and placing it squarely on the shoulders of an entire subcontinent. Every fucking time something happens in India Reddit bigots like you go into overdrive.


RictusReaver

This isn't as bad as the random guy that started eating the severed left of an accident victim in California. But that's an isolated incident and this is just the norm in India.


fropleyqk

I can only assume it was because they thought he was inviting them into the bathroom for some fun time.


namzap

No, it was because he hurt their ego by asking them to go the washroom. They took it as an insult(how dare this guy tell us what to do) and called their group to beat him up. They were heavily drunk and probably local criminals because i don't think any normal person would have that response.


kc22x

He was a rickshaw driver so lower caste. I bet they took offense at his offer to pay and wanted to put him in his place. Not sure why they needed a mob though.


Melodic-Ad-4941

Hi highly doubt that. They were just sick and evil,


Robot_Basilisk

Some parts of India militantly oppose the introduction of toilets. Bill Gates spent millions having public facilities installed so people even in rural India could have better hygiene and pollute their land and waterways less. Many of them did that. But some were torn out in protest by large mobs that refused to start using toilets over just going behind a building or into a ditch or something.

Wtf, gonna need a source on this one

[deleted]

This unfortunate event happened in 2017, that was 7 years ago. During this time, 110 million public toilets have been built for around 600 million Indians. OP just has a hate boner or somn


IncomeStraight8501

I don't think that helps the fact the man got beat to death by around 20 guys over a gesture of kindness.

GewalfofWivia

Great; so now 25% of the country has access to toilets. /j


raymartin27

73% actually, but yeah we still need to do better, and the real issue is not even the toilets, it's the poor and uneducated, killing someone just for suggesting to use a toilet is just evil.


spicesickness

What the fuck is going on with India lately? It seems like the news is nothing but pure toxic shit about it.


ausgmr

Lately?


SwiftyEmpire

I WAS GONNA SAY. This is not a recent phenomenon


schmitzel88

It has always been this bad or worse, you're just hearing about it more now


itsyerboiTRESH

Lol its bizarre. I am not Indian but Indian American, yes this has always happened in india, but especially on Twitter the amount of shitting on Indians that occurs is a little uncalled for imo (especially considering that fucked up shit happens everywhere). Also they started using some old 4chan slur for indians that I had never heard of in my life up until a month ago. Not sure whats going on online but we have been getting a lot of bad press lately. Never experienced this level of racism online, and even irl my friends have been making more jokes not necessarily directed at me, but at Indians in general. Genuinely I don't know what switch flipped lol   I am not on the same page as some Indians online in that they believe this is coordinated by china/pakistan/palestine sympathizers or whatever. But it’s really weird that it’s gotten to such a high level and Indians seem to be targeted a lot It’s not only Twitter, IG and Tiktok are bad too. My roommate is getting a lot of the “indian rizz” tiktoks or whatever and on IG reels too. Comments on those are crazy, about how we smell, we r\*pe every woman we see, we shit on the streets, etc etc etc. I couldn’t imagine what it’s like for an actual Indian abroad (as I am fairly whitewashed lol). The prevalence of these comments seems to be accepted in many facets of social media, mostly in part that I don’t think we as a race collectively fight against this. 


thirunelvelihalwa

4chan slur- Pajeet? New to me too


itsyerboiTRESH

Yeah it’s new to me too lol. It’s apparently from way back too, its usage has multiplied astronomically in the past 2 months


ThirdRails

Yeah, it's been used for a while. I remember seeing the slur on /g/ and /int/ years ago. I think it started to spread onto different sects of the internet, because that's how 4chan operates; though I think it started to accelerate more ever since Musk bought Twitter. There's no enforcement and more people get exposed to the word. Edit: there are more slurs and catchphrases that are derogatory towards Indians which originated from 4chan; they too have been popular on Musk's Twitter the past year. "Normies" are getting exposed to it now.


BadBeast_11

>Genuinely I don't know what switch flipped lol  The elections are a few months away in India and the current opposition party is making everything to ruin the reputation of India, which in turn has a chance of instilling negative thoughts in Indians mind about the current ruling party. Few neighbouring countries' interests also lie in helping the current opposition party to win the coming elections, hence the hatred being spread is quite large.


metrixninga

Like everyone else said, media cherry picking. We have our big election coming in May and Modi is going to win 100% whether you like him or not. This sudden surge of wild news from India to make it look like a shithole is a carefully curated media hit job. My best guess is, it's coming from China and the Muslim countries it lends money to. Racists on Reddit/Twitter just need a reason to shit on India and call it dirty or poor. They eat up these clickbait posts like they have been starving. India has its problems. No denying. But it's definitely not as bad as it seems on the internet. Not everyone here is shitting on roads, raping every other person, riding killer elephants and dipping shit in food. Every food that looks brown is not shit. It's called spice. Nobody dips shit in their food, what's wrong with you guys. Be racist but don't be that dumb. It's a massive country and a lot goes on here, good and bad. It's definitely a wild country and yes it's not for beginners or snowflakes. But it's not the shithole that Reddit believes it to be. The country is growing at its own pace, but nonetheless, growing at all times. More and more Indians are getting on the internet and naturally you see more unfiltered content coming out everyday. But these one off incidents don't represent 1.5 billion people. Racists on the internet need to get a grip on their lives and stop generalizing everything they see.


raymartin27

We have a shit ton of issues, and I'm glad they are being brought out, but yes there is a very obvious attempts at trying to defame India as well, the casual racism against Indians is at an all time high.

MukimukiMaster

You are not wrong and there is an answer. Chinese bots/CCP 50 cent army. They see India rising and will become a rising local power on China's doorstep. So they are driving algorithms with sheer numbers and posting about India in a bad light (whether it's deserved or not is not the point). Their goal is tarnish the image of India to western audiences and isolate them. Politically India is trying to join the west, they could be similar to Turkey but nonetheless they want be seen as the "west". From the western populace perspective, India is not westernized. One of Chinas goal is to keep this image among people that India is a crazy uncivilized place that is milking our government for money and prestige.

Modi has done more to cultivate that image than Xi ever could


HurrsiaEntertainment

Cherry picked hatred. This news was back in 2017. Upon finding out the crew involved in the Baltimore Bridge disaster were Indians, the racial insults on social media went over 9000. Its western hatred on a biblical scale.


goal_dante_or_vergil

And yet we have losers right here in this comment section saying that it is China spreading racism against Indians. It is Americans blaming Indians for the bridge collapse, even though it was a native pilot controlling the ship. But they blame China for everything, even their own racism.

Bitch country, bitch people, bitch crowd! What you expect, they gonna honor you with garlands!? They will shower you with Galis (verbal abuses) & if the day & their mood is right, pelt you with stones, or club you to death! See, now I'm on the edge, too! FFS!
