Everything about India sounds so miserable, like imagine if they went communist like the Chinese did.

@jackmarxist@hexbear.net

Can you share any good or promising things about India? What I can see from social media seems very bleak.

iirc kerala is pretty cool, they regularly elect marxist communists and while it's not a socialist state by any means, they've done good things working in the confines of the liberal framework with stuff like the highest minimum wage in india and a strong protest scene

Kerala has done decently well.
The current govt has aimed at eradicating extreme poverty from Kerala by the end of the next year.

It may not be according to Western standards, but it's still a very cool initiative.

There's also the Nava Kerala mission

Nava means New in Malayalam, the main language used in Kerala.
