this is the funniest comic ive seen here in a long long time, have an award


wildeofoscar

Thank you very much.


ChadMcRad

Yeah. Well anyways should be about 5 minutes until it gets red carded for some reason.

Yup those places where the sun don’t shine


GreatRolmops

You mean Glasgow?


HiveMynd148

The sun dont shine in Glasgow cuz the sun's busy keeping an eye on the English


iEatPalpatineAss

The sun will never set on the British Empire! Because if it ever does, we shall all be engulfed in the darkness of Britannia's waves 😱😭

It's fear driving the sun away from Glasgow though...


bootrick

Glasgow? Is that the city with the statue people put traffic cones on?


oblivicorn

There’s a reason the moon is on Pakistan’s flag


SabashChandraBose

Honestly, this is the quietest we have been with Pakistan. I am ready for both sides to bury the hatchet and smoke the peace hookah. We have more in common than apart. We can help each other so much. The average people of both countries don't hate each other. It's just the extremists! Let's do a Coke Studio IndoPak


flamefirestorm

Honestly if the entire mess in Kashmir didn't exist I could see that happening much sooner, it's like fuel to the fire. Also it's quiet because Pakistan has alot going on within its own borders lol, the election debacle is pretty bad.


superfahd

It'll never happen. It's in the interests of both sides politicians for this issue to never be resolved


Fresh-Land1105

It's because Pakistan is very unstable rn. Their economy is in shambles, they have to literally beg to IMF, SA and China etc to keep their economy afloat, TTP and BLA have been wrecking Pakistani Armed Forces for many years now, also political tension between Sharif's alliance and PTI, discontent in PoK and the rift in the Pakistan Army have all weakened Pakistan to take another brawl with India. Plus India has a bigger threat in the North to tackle than worry about Pakistan.


Pantheon73

Wasn't there even a missle fired accidentally from India to Pakistan and both sides didn't make a big deal out of it?


mscomies

That's not going to happen. What we would call extremism is pretty mainstream in the Pakistani populace. There's tons of public support for the Taliban and jihadi movements in general over there

Hey, India plays both sides (except when it is it's biggest enemies) Also, I love how you addressed Canada as west punjab. (also inpendence day is in 3 days, so good timing)


AaronC14

It's hard to blame India for playing both sides given their location and history


5Im4r4d0r

I believe it's north Punjab, cause we the north


SixZeroPho

> cause we the north love our curry, and our pho, and our sushi, and our Chinese food at the mall


EpirusRedux

Yes, but when people think Canada, do they think of its Chinese food or the Raptors?^(or Drake, but that's basically the same thing)

Snow, and mountains or plains depending on where they’ve been, but mostly snow.


wildeofoscar

There are more Punjabs in Pakistan, we could refer Pakistan as West Punjab but honestly that would meant recognizing Pakistan as well.


too-lextra_159

So, west west punjab.


chaun2

See you needed to do what the Spanish did with New Mexico. New Mexico is *technically* older than Mexico, because the area that New Mexico is the remnants of a larger area the Spanish called New Mexico in remembrance of one of the native tribes. That territory was still referred to as New Mexico, once the Mexicans gained independence from Spain and formed the new country of Mexico. New Mexico lost some territory in that, and later deals.


[deleted]

There are more Punjabis in Paxtan but they don't embrace Punjabi culture and are just wannabe arabs . This is why world wide when you hear the word "Punjabi" only india comes to mind.


superfahd

Dude what the heck are you on about?!? As a Pakistani Punjabi my honor has been insulted and I insist on a bhangra duel at dawn! edit: me 4 days later: shit I should have said bhangra battle


pooch321

They’re just upset we’re the bigger Punjabis


Emperor_Quintana

Bigger doesn’t always mean *better*, though. Sorry, not sorry.


superfahd

Punjabis are awesome no matter where they're from. End of discussion!


mrkrabsfromspunchbob

There are Punjabs in India as well. Also fun fact, when India was partitioned the Punjabs were all Muslim, but they were split between India and Pakistan, which meant that there were 25 million Muslim Punjabs living in India instead of Pakistan. So instead of moving to Pakistan, about half of them ended up converting to Hinduism instead.


calmbuddhist

There's no such thing as conversion to Hinduism. Hinduism is not a religion like Islam or Christianity, it's syncretic. Unfortunately, Caste still plays a major role and no one can change castes nor get converted from or into a specific caste; you can only be born into it. No actual hindu acknowledges conversion into hinduism.


The_Lonely_Posadist

Holy shit, guess Bali isn’t Hindu.


D-0H

Bali has a very ~~strange~~ unique take on Hinduism.


The_Lonely_Posadist

because they were originally converts who syncretized it with Buddhism HARD like everyone else in southeast asia


calmbuddhist

Sorry if this is offensive, but i think not a single traditional Hindu(non-iskcon etc..) Indian temple would let in any Balinese, simply because they don't look Indian. If you're brown, then you can slip past, but you might be asked to leave if you announced that you are a convert into hinduism. Wikipedia might say Bali is Hindu, but I'm mostly sure no traditional Hindu institution even acknowledges any Hindus outside India, let alone non Indian Hindus. I'd even go as far as saying, according to traditional "Hindu" institutions, there is no such thing as a Hindu also. There are brahmins, kshatriyas, Vaishyas and the "others". These "others" are the same to them regardless of whether they call themselves Hindu or are muslim/christian etc. Just google videos of hare krishna folks being asked to leave temples simply because they don't look Indian. This is pretty fucked up, but it is the current scenario, and I think it might have always been the case as well.


The_Lonely_Posadist

Saying it has always been the case is absolutely wrong. Why do you think the Dravidian south has Hindus? Why do you think Hinduism spread for a long while to SEA?


calmbuddhist

Hinduism spread to SEA because the tamil kings conquered parts of it and established kingdoms. Subsequent dynasties of those kingdoms extended hindu beliefs, without the involvement of institutional hindu "authorities". As you pointed out, No hindu community outright rejects converts to Hinduism or any other converts. However, I'm damn sure the several Mathams, temple associations, and institutions won't even acknowledge them. They're tooo traditional and casteist to do so. Speak with a priest and verify for yourself.


The_Lonely_Posadist

lol pseudo history. SEA converted because SEA kings could use Hinduism to justify personal cults that venerated them, inspiring loyalty and also because it let them trade with Indian states


The_Lonely_Posadist

Bali has been Hindu for like decades. Sure, a lot of Hindus don’t think much of converts, but I’m a Hindu and in the communities I grew up in, converts were treated with recluctance, but nobody wholesale rejected them.


Mastermaze

Same, took me a second by what they meant then it hit me and i almost fell off my chair laughing


wildeofoscar

The comic is straight straightforward here, India loves everybody except for Pakistan. I was inspired by this [tweet.](https://twitter.com/cyanide_worrier/status/1557388848711323649/photo/1)


too-lextra_159

and ~~west taiwan~~ china


wildeofoscar

Depends on their mood honestly.


notgivinafuck

Yup, as trade partners they are very much linked But territorial issues >(


EpirusRedux

I have no idea how China can claim a whole fucking state of India's as part of it (and it's not even part of real China, it's claimed as part of Tibet), and that not send relations to Pakistan levels.


Heinrici_Mason543

China is trying to revive the Qing Empire border but no balls to reclaim lands Russians stole because of alliance.


KaiserWilhelmThe69

First time?


Vordeo

That's pretty much the story with China and most of it's neighbors tbh.


ObviouslyAnExpert

Fuck territorial issues. Does anyone really care about that little piece of unusable land? I say let China draw its borders and India draw its borders and never bring up that part of Asia again. Problem solved.


Sooryan_86

Tell that to the British back then....


hoo2doo

Britain: Having a country that is split into two by the country that is hostile to said country who were once together and the country that is splitting said country wants to reunite former colonial lands is a great idea. ​ Pakistan


EpirusRedux

India and China have territorial disputes over two pieces of land, Castlereagh. Presumably you're talking about Aksai Chin, the one in the north that's near India's disputed territory with Pakistan. The second piece of land you missed is an entire *state*. [Arunachal Pradesh has over 1.3 million people](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arunachal_Pradesh) who are Indian and who see themselves Indian, but whom China thinks are Tibetan. We're not letting China "draw borders" and force over a million Indians to submit to Chinese rule just because it makes the map simpler. They're not even actively fighting over it because there's already a ceasefire.


ObviouslyAnExpert

That's what I said lmao. I love how you missed the "let India draw its borders" part. Let China draw its borders and let India draw its borders. Everyone wins in their little state sponsored media. Nothing changes. Life goes on. Problem solved. Aksai Chin is populated with Chinese people. Let China operate it. Arunachal Pradesh is already operated by India. Let it be an Indian state, the people there are Indian anyways, so why even bother fighting over it?

>our right for self defense against terrorist attacks Has the same vibe for me like "special military operation" "Iraq has weapons of mass destruction" and "This night for the first time Polish regular soldiers fired on our territory. Since 5.45 A.M. we have been returning the fire, and from now on bombs will be met by bombs."


EpirusRedux

I know two of those three references. A.) Слава Україні B.) We're really, really sorry about that one. C.) Is that actually what they actually said? Is it an infamous sound bite in Germany or something?


Tengri_99

It refers to the start of WW2 when Germany invaded Poland


EpirusRedux

I guessed as such, since that's the only time Germany has invaded Poland since it regained its independence, and when it still had its independence the last time, long-distance communication technologies like radio and telegraph hadn't been invented yet. What I'm wondering is if that broadcast is particularly infamous in German culture, the way the Zapruder tape or "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" are in America.


HerzogTrollhausen

"Seit 5 Uhr 45 wird zurückgeschossen", yeah. Everybody knows what it refers to, and it is frequently alluded to in satire and the like.


[deleted]

>Is that actually what they actually said? Is it an infamous sound bite in Germany or something? The Germans staged an attack by poles on a German radio broadcast and then started to "retaliate". That's was the beginning of WW2


Saransh6

On pak creation day, my hostelmates literally want to cry " neem ka patta kadwa h, pakistan bhadwa h." Which roughly translates to "neem leaves are bitter, pakistan is a bastard" .


a_small_sad_potato

I was filling out a form for the Indian govt, and it had one of those character and fitness sections. First question: "Are you Pakistani?" Second question: "Have you committed genocide?"


DellM2005

Please tell me this isn't a joke


i_am_a_good_god

I have filled a few forms related to some public services and the first one is real, just in a more formal way


holycrab702

And guess who's Paki's best friend.


wildeofoscar

India’s other arch-enemy part-time China.


flamefirestorm

I love how Paki is a slur but you wrote it in such a way that I'm not upset in the slightest. It's just a short form a Pakistan.


freedompolis

Well, "Paki" is only a slur on an island off the coast of Europe and its former territories. Other places may not have an idea that it is a slur. I think it's because of the preponderance of people of the indian subcontinent on the British Isles. It's also why they meant Indian peoples when they say "asians", unlike the US.


flamefirestorm

True although the term certainly spread across the Anglo-sphere. But yes in the comment I was replying to it's said innocently so I think it's fine.


HippoNebula

wait Pakistan is a slur?


flamefirestorm

No just Paki.


nilesh72000

remember that time when a BJP official said bad things about Islam and arab countries condemned it, then Modi and all the Indian leaders apologized to the gulf countries. Pakistan asked for an apology, and then the BJP told them to fuck off, funny stuff.

God, that's messed up and hilarious at the same time. Mostly because they're both right about how bad the other one is with religious bigotry.


nilesh72000

Yeah, India has cow vigilantism while Pakistan has blasphemy law kangaroo court.


Fresh-Land1105

Didn't the BJP official only quote texts from the Islamic Hadiths about their prophet? Why are muslims so insecure that even reciting their own texts makes them triggered?

Cricket matches between India vs Pakistan in 90s were akin to war. People used to close shops to watch cricket and celebrate in the streets with fireworks when India won.

India could have been the Asian Switzerland if it wasn't for two of its neighbors


wildeofoscar

We already got an Asian Switzerland, it’s called Bhutan.


loicvanderwiel

Isn't Bhutan more or less under the protection of India? Also, to be an Asian Switzerland you would need to 1. Not have a problem with any of your neighbour (i.e. no ongoing war, no territorial dispute, etc.) and have a policy of neutrality 2. Not be a micro-state (because that's cheating) 3. Be filthy rich Bonus point if you managed to avoid a few major conflicts in your vicinity. Does anyone qualify in Asia? I had Singapore in mind but they're about the size of Andorra so it does not really count...


FUZxxl

Most countries don't accidentally invade their neighbours every once in a while. But the Swiss...


Comrade_Derpsky

Only constant vigilance can protect against the Swiss threat.


SKarlet312

Turkmenistan is trying really, really hard to be the Switzerland of Asia. They might need to work on the dictatorship stuff though...


loicvanderwiel

Also, they're missing the "filthy rich" part, even if they're doing better than most of their neighbour. Someone suggested Oman but they're also not extremely rich, especially compared to other countries in the vicinity.


Woutrou

Oman also works


YouKnowTheRules123

Bhutan is based tho, follows the no-china policy


Sooryan_86

Not anymore Oman isnt my on my based list \[A girl from Oman rejected me :( \]


sorenant

oman, that's hard.


Bazookagrunt

Doesn’t Bhutan have an active border dispute with China though?


lovelyfurball88

Can’t have a border dispute with china if you don’t recognize china


yx_orvar

Everyone around China has a border dispute with China.


Bazookagrunt

I know, but I recall some serious confrontations went down between Bhutan (backed by India) and China over significant portion of land a while ago.


Saransh6

Doklam conflict, probably. It was all over the news. (Bhutan is the 30th state of India.)


Viend

Everyone in Asia has a border dispute of some form with their neighbor.

d4ng3r0u5

I think it would be nice if the various Commonwealth-balls had been more closely integrated all along.


EpirusRedux

Given that the Commonwealth was basically just a plan to preserve what little of the old empire's structure was left, and that France tried the same thing, the fact that it still exists and does stuff and people know about it is already a monumental achievement.


AnyNobody7517

France's is a little different and held on harder. The commonwealth was a lot more useful right after decolonialization since the leaders of all the nation had a more of a shared experience + the UK shifted more towards europe.


EpirusRedux

Exactly. Which is a credit to the UK, since they didn't try to hold on the way France did. I have some idea of the complicated mechanics of the British colonial administrative structure, which is already pretty convoluted. But it still didn't prepare me for whatever the hell French decolonization of Africa is.
