USA worse than India; Used foreign bogeyman to unite the country

[Kamikaze Pilot]

It maybe true that Pakistan is being used as a common foreign threat to unite Indians. But it is conveniently ignored that USA played dirtier in this game.

A dirty secret undocumented in USA history is that they conjured up an external enemy to preserve unity. The bogeyman in USA's case was the native American (Red Indian). The dissent in USA didn't end with the end of civil War. The rebellion was simmering and looked dangerous even after civil War was over. Remember Abraham Lincoln was assassinated after the war.

So USA came up with this idea to divert attention of all Whites. They basically said, "Look! There's a jackpot up for grabs. Why are we fighting among ourselves? Let's go get the wealth by taking the land of native Americans."

India is merely maligning Pakistan and poisoning the ears of people. India is just exaggerating the doings of Pakistan. There's a germ of truth in Indian allegations of Pakistani hand in attempts of destabilisation.

USA, on the other hand, exterminated entire population of natives.

Which case is more unethical?

USA had to unite a fairly homogenous population viz Whites. They never needed to bother about black population because blacks could be easily controlled.

Whereas India has to unite various states that are ethnically, racially, linguistically, culturally and economically different and dislike each other.

In the exercise of nation building, USA had negligible problems of foreign interference. They were a separate continent. So meddling by foreign countries was difficult.

On the other hand, India has to contend with interference of several formidable countries - Pakistan, China, Bangladesh, many Western countries (links needed for the unacquainted) etc.

Given all factors, India has been a saint. USA wiped out entire indigenous population.

THere is nothing called red indians. Its just indians - they were called indians - like any brown people whose identity europeans did not care for.

Funny how the whites in America call every other non-white as African-American, Hispanic-American, Chinese-American, Indian-American and also call Natives as Native-American but whites don’t call themselves European-American. There is no such thing as ‘Native-American’, they are Natives.

I've heard many whites say that blacks go back to Africa and Asians go back to Asia. But these white people never said that the white people go back to Europe

I always wonder why ISI wouldn't exploit cracks in indian society, hack even a false WhatsApp forward makes indian kill each other. Why wouldn't ISI do the dirty work like India doing against Pakistan? all ISI need is a spark, rest indian society is itself a petrol bomb.
