crawls in on my hands and knees indchu is so everything to me. it’s so tragic romance, it has so many themes that touch on colonialism, agency, fate, power etc etc. They’re friends to enemies to friends to enemies and back again and one of the things that drives me really insane was how England used India to grow opium to poison China and deployed Indian soldiers to fight for the British against the Chinese in the Opium wars, but simultaneously, that long history of anti colonialism and pan asian collaboration between Indian and Chinese scholars during the 20th century before independence finally, finally came and the promise of a new world order and the Non aligned movement they could enjoy *together*, before 1962 happened and that hope of what they had before, before the europeans and the modern era, crumbled to dust. i’m so normal about then
homie, you managed to fill my heart with joy, sadness, dread, joy again, and agony and I thank you for it. their history is so unmatched by anything I've ever heard of.
oh to picture their closeness before colonialism, when it was just them two.
OH, to think of how they have lived so near one another longer than any other personification could, and to have it all change in such a short amount of time, that beautiful romance now just a husk of what it once was... and everyone walks by them not having a clue... it's only a pain and sadness only they understand, only they experience... I think I need a break
