From Thailand to Texas, Indians are the new colonisers

Global migration numbers have officially crossed into “did I accidentally microdose before reading this or are these stats actually real” territory.

According to recent dispatches, the United States is currently home to over six million Indians. Canada is sitting well past three million, and the UK is pushing close to 2 million. Then you look at Australia, where the Indian diaspora is nearing the one million mark. For a nation of only 28 million, this transcends a simple demographic shift, and judging by Narendra Modi’s impending visit, there is more come.

Yet, one country has been entirely spared this particular export. That country is Pakistan, India’s direct neighbour and historic adversary. It’s in the highly fortunate position of having absolutely zero Indians to deal with. At the same time, however, Pakistan is in the deeply unfortunate position of being 100% populated by Pakistanis.

But back to the global scale. The prevailing expectation is that we’re supposed to look at the numbers, nod along approvingly, and repeat the familiar line about diversity enriching our culture. The moment we reject the script and start looking at what’s actually happening, however, the multicultural fairy tale goes completely off the rails. This brings us to an obvious and important question. Is this massive, hyper-accelerated influx actually a good thing?

Southeast Asia offers the answer. Take Thailand, for example, a country legendary for its pathologically polite, non-confrontational culture based on the concept of jai yen, or keeping a cool heart. Currently, the local patience there is being tested to its absolute limit by a massive wave of Indian tourism and expat settlement. Walk the streets of Bangkok or Pattaya (as I have), and the resentment among locals is palpable.

Thai service workers, long accustomed to a way of life rooted in basic decency, are routinely subjected to aggressive, high-decibel dressing downs over the smallest inconveniences. They face an obnoxious, assertive sense of entitlement that completely steamrolls Thai social norms.

Roving groups of young men prowl the streets, creating an atmosphere that feels less like a vacation destination and more like a territory being actively claimed. Step by step, local businesses are bought out and rapidly transformed into crude, Indian-themed bars and clubs that explicitly cater to their own.

The Thais are watching their neighbourhoods get systematically dismantled, and their unhappiness is entirely justified. But you don’t have to be a local to see the pattern.

For decades, the West has rightly worried about the compatibility of Islamic fundamentalism with traditional liberal values. We read the gruesome reports, debated the failures of integration, and watched the madness play out in European cities.

But while everyone was staring at that particular horizon, a massive blind spot formed right in front of us. The uncomfortable truth is that dominant strains of modern Indian culture are proving to be just as fundamentally incompatible with traditional Western values.

And we aren’t just talking about a bit of loud music, spontaneous bursts of manic dancing for no reason, or driving more suited to a demolition derby. The reality extends far beyond mere public nuisance.

Take Texas, where entire towns and tech hubs have been effectively colonised by massive influxes of Indian nationals, fundamentally altering the local landscape.

Or look at major European nations, where a shockingly bad immigration system transformed entire neighbourhoods and, in some cases, fostered parallel communities.

A major consequence has been the rise of transnational organised crime networks stretching all the way from Montreal to Manchester. These are large, extensive networks that have fundamentally disrupted public safety. In fact, intense gang warfare tied to these factions has openly spilled into the streets of both Canada and Portugal, exposing local populations to levels of gun violence more commonly associated with third world countries.

This threat is made exponentially worse because Western legal systems have become a laughingstock, easily weaponised and exploited by international fugitives. As noted by Martin Purbrick, an expert on organised crime, the presence of a large Indian diaspora in the UK makes the country an attractive destination for many individuals fleeing criminal investigations or prosecution in India, as they find it easier to establish themselves within existing social and cultural networks.

And once they put down roots, what kind of culture are they bringing with them? To answer that, you only have to look at what they left behind.

India struggles with a relentless wave of brutal sexual violence and high-profile gang assaults that regularly shock the world. I am talking about the most savage acts imaginable, including the rape of toddlers, a crime so horrendous that it defies human comprehension. Furthermore, the targeted violence against religious minorities, particularly Christians, by Hindu nationalists is well-documented. One needn’t be a Bible-thumping preacher to recognise that Christian values largely shaped the West. So, when an influx of people enters with a deep-seated contempt for those foundational values, what exactly do you expect the outcome to be?

When migration occurs at a rapid, unchecked pace, attitudes toward women and public behaviour don’t simply disappear at the border. They come with the people who hold them.

Thailand has already seen this firsthand. Others should start paying attention.
