India Would Have a Bigger Population than China

[MrMan]

If India had not split up into Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India, it would have a population estimated at over 1.6 B (assuming not splitting hadn't changed the course of history and resulted in more deaths or less reproduction). That is higher than China's estimated population of 1.4 B.

This map divides the world into four sections of roughly equal population.

Yeah but unlike China, India is worse when it comes to finding attractive quality women. Plus Indian women especially in major cities are like british women, were bitchy and bossy, not feminine like Chinese women are.

I have not spent time in India. Just from the ones I've encountered, there seem to be about as many of them with attractive features as Chinese or Anglos. But maybe immigrants tend to be from Brahmin classes, which may look a bit more like white women with darker skin.

I get the impression that some of them are interested in feminism, but I also hear a lot about women being raped over there, daughters in law being terrorized or injured, etc. I would imagine these are the rare shocking cases that make headlines, not representative of the day-to-day life of Indian women. A few hundred years ago, wives were burned with their husbands at their husband's funerals, so the traditional culture must be somewhat patriarchal. But we could say that of Anglo culture minus the wife-burning.

Are the upper class women bossy, but lower class women more submissive?

Divorce rates are low there, but I would imagine a foreigner breaking into their marriage system would be hard. Maybe some of the westernized ones--who might tend to be more feminist-- could marry expats, but traditional ones would probably be more tied to cast, and I would imagine expats do not fit into the system well. There is also the issue of religion. There are Indian Christian, including areas where a lot of them are Christians. There are Muslim areas also, and there are a multitudes number of Hindus. I wonder if the Christian groups are more open to non-Indians marrying.

I knew a Chinese-American man married to an Indian who looked Chinese. I don't remember the ethnic group, but it seems to fit Nagaland, since she looked like she could be Chinese and I think she was from a Baptist background. That region has been fighting the national government's pressure to try to force them to let women into government. It is apparently a male-dominated culture. I don't know the dynamics of my friends marriage. He was a mild-mannered man, but I did not pick up on any cues of his wife being domineering.
