South and Northern Indians aren't ethnically different, but culturally different. Cutlure doesn't define ethnicity. But I'm not suprised you can't comprehend this simple concept as you probably barely passed high school

God you really are just a fucking idiot aren't you? You realize that India has over 2,000 ethnic groups right? Source You realize that culture is literally part of the definition of ethnicity Source

hey are you the guy who has been smurfing on the pussyslayer69 account recently?

You literally bought a 4 thousand dollar computer to stream and play video games all day, stop pretending you some athlete. You havn't touched a girl lol, also don't you live in Tennessee, which is 10+- hrs away from Michigan University lel

There is no winner here.

[princeofcarthage]

4k dollar comp and playing video games all day? Sounds like a rich kid

[deleted_user]

Jk, I'm the winner here.

There are 12 members of the ICC and 92 Associate members. Your argument is invalid, Unlike in football and baseball you actually need to be semi decent to be considered in cricket. Comparing basketball is also useless cos theres always one winner lmao , USA...

Most sports Americans like are objectively superior to soccer, even baseball and hockey.

lol baseball is like the worst sport I can think of after bowls and cricket. Soccer/Basketball/Tennis are world sports. Even Waterpolo which you american scoff at is played in all of Europe and most of the world. (Serbia is the best country in the world at waterpolo, just throwing that out there).

How could you possibly think cricket is worse than baseball????

Because Cricket sucks;
- Every 2nd guy has a dad bod and don't even look atheltic
- It's played by like 5 fucking countries
- Incredibly boring to watch
- A single game can go over the course of several days (which is just bs)
- I could actually watch a baseball game, but I wouldn't watch a Cricket game even if someone payed me to do so.

Cricket routinely ranks in the top 3 sports in the world by viewership popularity. (1) (2)

2.5 billion people vs an over-opinionated 15 year old from Queensland? Wonder who I will go with?

That's because India has 1.2 billion people you idiot. You don't look at by population but rather by countries. Europe has 750 million all together and 51 countries. So if China invents a sport tomorrow called (insert name) and everyone play it (1.3 million) that sport will be bigger than say a sport which all of Europe plays. There's the logic that your using, very dumb for a person that went to a "top university"

Why would everybody play a sport that "sucks", just because their country "invented" it (India didn't invent cricket, and even if it did and your logic makes sense, you have another 1.4 billion people to account for).

I never said India invented Cricket, learn to read. Bangladesh, Pakistan, SriLanka, South Africa, Australia, England. These are literally the only other countries that play this shit sport.

You still haven't explained why number of countries is a better metric than number of people.

So if there is a sport lets say called (1), and all of Europe plays that sport, 51 countries, 51 cultures, 51 differne't kind of people. And there is a different sport called (2), that only India plays but there is say 1 billion people that play this sport. I wouldn't consider that sport to be "bigger", or "larger" by any means. Even if more people play it. Because it's only 1 country, 1 kind of people. No competition aswell ofc. That's kind of how it is with cricket seeing has India, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh make up about 70% of the people who play Cricket.
Not only this but Cricket is just so dull and boring to watch. It's not your fault, you probably have some bogan father that grew up watching Cricket, and thus you did too. It's like a culture thing so I understand why you go defensive about it.

India is a very culturally diverse country, similar to Europe. Different religions, different languages, different culture and practices.

I, personally, don't watch cricket, but I don't presume to tell people what sport is "better" than others when people have subjective preferences for the games they play. It's about as silly as going on a rant about how chocolate is better than vanilla.

Unless you can put together a comprehensive framework as to what makes a sport "good", and then get everybody in the world to agree to it, you're opinion is pretty meaningless.

They are still all Indians, same people. Religion doesn't define your ethnicity, are you sure you finished uni man?
FIBA World Cup had an audience of only 800 million. Nothing in comparison to 2.5billion that Cricket hosts. But are you seriously going to argue that Cricket is a larger/better/ more played sport. No way, because 171 countries play Basketball and only <8 or so play cricket.

Limiting yourself to - at times - arbitrary political borders ignores the cultural similaries / differences that occur within a region. In that measure, I think it would be very interesting to look at cultural diversity in India versus Europe (it may not be as different as you think).


Number of official languages spoken in India: 22.

Number of official languages spoken in Europe: 24.

If you include unofficial languages, India has far more.

On ethnic diversity, India is the second most ethnically diverse region on Earth.

India has more than two thousand ethnic groups,[9] and every major religion is represented, as are four major families of languages (Indo-European, Dravidian, Austroasiatic and Sino-Tibetan languages) as well as two language isolates (the Nihali language[10] spoken in parts of Maharashtra and the Burushaski language spoken in parts of Jammu and Kashmir (Kashmir).

Further complexity is lent by the great variation that occurs across this population on social parameters such as income and education. Only the continent of Africa exceeds the linguistic, genetic and cultural diversity of the nation of India.

In fact, there's a lot of data suggesting that ethnic diversity in Europe is not particularly significant.

Studies of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have suggested substantial genetic homogeneity of European populations,[24] with only a few geographic or linguistic isolates appearing to be genetic isolates as well.[25] On the other hand, analyses of the Y chromosome [26][27] and of autosomal diversity[28] have shown a general gradient of genetic similarity running from the southeast to the northwest of the continent.

An Indian from the West or South which have different cultures, nice. But they are still Indians.

....? I recommend you read the whole post before responding.

You don't understand, in the mind of a nationalist like sirmusket the only thing that really matters is national origin. It doesn't matter that someone from northern india is often going to be culturally and ethnically identical to someone from southern China, and isn't going to be anything like someone from south India. "But they are still Indians", thats the only thing that matters.

South and Northern Indians aren't ethnically different, but culturally different. Cutlure doesn't define ethnicity. But I'm not suprised you can't comprehend this simple concept as you probably barely passed high school

This is factually wrong.

They are very ethnically different. In fact, there is far more genetic diversity between a South and North Indian than between a Serbian and Italian.

Read the sources posted dozens of times in this thread. You just make up shit as you go. I've never met anybody as mentally incapable of logical thought than you.

It's like you get overwhelmed by sentences longer than 5 words and just repeat the same crap with no sources and add on a personal insult because you think it sounds witty.

We don't even need to compare life outcomes (you have none since your 16). The fact that you can't have a single discussion with anybody on this forum without devolving into petty and personal insults (and that nobody likes you) is a testament to your awful personality.

Many people in the US go out of state for university. It is not even remotely uncommon.

[Gichtenlord]

Using kek in 2018. Did you just find 4chan for the first time and finally being able to relate yourself to other people?

Before anybody accuses me of cherrypicking photos - I picked, literally, the first photo when googling "Serbian / Italian / South Indian / North Indian Woman"

It's more of a fun thing for us to do since your behaviour is very predictable.

[Ashvin]

I'm an Indian and you guys know shit about india, esp SirMusket.

PS: I don't like cricket. Does that define my nationality? Could you please not count 1.2 billion all fans of cricket? Also ethnicity point was the most bs of all.

[momuuu]

Cricket sounds almost as boring as baseball. I tried to watch a baseball game once, like to enjoy it. My god, that was such a waste of time. Though I must say football can be kinda boring too, actually most sports can be boring to watch. Gimme some sweet SC2 GSL action.

[Ashvin]

Actually, everything is boring for an individual unless it is interesting to them.

[InsectPoison]

Cricket is definitely not boring to watch if you know whats going on and it is definitely not boring to play. My favourite sport after football is Cricket but i guess it comes down to the individuals preference.

[Ashvin]

Like I said it's not boring if you're interested in that thing.

[InsectPoison]

Like I said it's not boring if you're interested in that thing.

Which i also said

[deleted_user]

I don't think a thing is boring if you're interested in it i.e. cricket

I prefer a BO35 snooker match over 3 days.
