Agreed , Americans are bigger snakes.
what if this Bharatphobia of Americans has their hatred for native Americans at its core.
There are too many similarities between how “native Indians” of murica were portrayed a few centuries ago and how “Bhartiya Indians” are protrayed now.
Few of them are as follows:
- both are protrayed as tribalistic violent savage heathens.
-the aspect of warring between tribes or communities is heavily publicised
-the aspect that both need to be divided and conquered, hence the focus on sub nationalities
-both are highly sought after for Christian conversions by whatever means necessary
essentially it looks like there is an attempt to equate us with Native Americans, which in turn makes it easier to view Bharat as something that needs to conquered(not necessarily physically) in american psyche.
this could also be the reason behind having zero scholars of Bharatiya origin in Native American history domain, but there are tons of Americans studying India.
