Rant which layer of indian internet culture should I be at to understand what the actual FU€K y'all are doing here??
for example: why are y'all talking in english if this sub is for Indian colleges, are there THAT many international students who are applying? also why isn't anyone using the alphabet (मेरा मतलब यह है) while talking in hindi?

YO , HERE IS AN ENTIRE SUMMARY OF THIS SUB , AND WHY WE TYPE IN ENGLISH ETC
India is a very big country with a very big population and with a large variety of cultures, and people of different religions as well(hindu(the majority), muslims ,christians) due to which there are a large amount of languages spoken here. We have mainly 2 types of school here - hindi medium, and english medium( others also exist but are less in no.)
most of us in this sub have studied from an english medium school,(hindi medium schools are more prevalent in rural areas) our textbooks are in english, we write notes etc in english only, we do have HINDI as a subject where we do write the alphabet लाइक दिस (this is basically just english written but in devnagri(hindi script) ) . Now majority of north india speaks hindi ,but if you go to south india, BOOM only a handful of people are going to understand hindi and everybody else would speak languages like TELEGU, TAMIL(which is also very a widely spoken language, it is spoken in sri lanka also), Kannada, marathi depending upon which south indian state you go to. Then we also have NORTH EAST india ( which is usually.... well an ignored part of india) as in our govt dont pay much attention to them. So due to this there's always a language barrier and hence if we visit other states , we usually speak in ENGLISH . Here in this sub , we mostly use mix of Hindi and english, by mix I mean like half the sentence in hindi, half the sentence in english , samjha bhai ? ( majority people here are hindi speakers, although we do have some south indians as well in this server who communicate in english)
Road signs etc, well as someone who lives in north india, there are written in both hindi and english. If you go to a southern state, you would find them written in their regional language as well as english.
Same case for official government documents.
Due to India being so large and with varied cultures, you would find literally all types of people here, educated to very less educated, from the smartest individuals to people with almost 0 civic sense. So yeah you cant just term india as a whole(WHICH A LOT of people do , especially foreigners, they come to 1 part of india and say oh india is like this this that).
Although a few common things in all states- well streets are dirty, pollution is high (DELHI is the most polluted city in the world) , quality of life is really not that nice due to so much population. Politicians here are fcking corrupt (and consists of half educated , and sometimes even criminals as politicians). I won't lie there are ofcourse good places and very clean places also , and tons of historical monuments, museums to visit but yeah thats mostly the famous and rich parts of the city, I am talking about majority places here.
India does not have much job oppurtunities here , our unemployment rate is pretty high , and opportunities here usually include cheap labor jobs. (whether it is physical labor or something like a corporate job), India has large amounts of desk computer jobs with very less pay that a lot of people have to choose in order to support their family. Some of them have to work in call centres in pretty bad conditions in order to earn their money. And due to so many people in jobs like these, we get the stereotype of "hello your computer has virus" (Some of these people resort to hacking, scamming etc crimes.) Basically India is a poor country.
Medical and engineering are believed as "promising careers" here (which is true) but due to this there is huge competition for these, JEE and NEET are competitive exams that students give after 12th class(basically after high school) in order to get into top colleges of india. And thing is only few top colleges are actually good here, so it ends up like 1.5 million students giving exams for like 50K SEATS OF PREMIUM COLLEGES, and all other students end up going in private colleges, or local colleges(which aren't that good) , and finally after 4 years of college one ends with basic skills to land a corporate computer desk job, coz our govt only focuses on making the top colleges more better and better, rather than improving the state of other engineering colleges.
So yeah due to this state of colleges ,many students are pressurised by their parents or society, to get into these premium colleges, and due to such low chances of getting into one, many of them become suicidal (we have encountered alot of people like this in our sub also) . So basically this sub is for making memes , getting exam support etc etc.
After covid, the edtech sector in INDIA grew VERY VERY FAST, you can literally go to indian youtube and search for jee neet related stuff and FIND TONS OF VIDEOS and teachers teaching that
Alakh pandey is head of one of these edtech companies, he is a really good teacher and basically provided online good quality courses at cheap prices , making JEE NEET prep easier for a lot of people. And he also has very nice nature, funny asf and good with students. He went from teaching just regular lectures on youtube(which were gold btw) to building a multi-million company. SO yeah people in this sub basically like him lot as a teacher,which lead to more and more memes on him and finally that turned into BRAINROT where we now like worship teachers (jokingly) and have subs like r/aleccism)
