People can both like soccer and dislike the british? What are Indians banned from being doctor who or rail fans now? Cricket is like the most popular international sport in India and English is the closest thing to a truly univeral language in India (most people in south India don't know Hindi). Turns out when the UK invades your country you get to keep the things they leave behind that you like lol

I would argue that the british are responsible for the modern idea of an Indian state in the first place by invading the entire thing and giving everyone there a common enemy by treating everyone living there so atrociously. India would probably be like 3 or 4 smaller countries if the british hadn't forced them to unify for better or for worse

People do actually care about the World Cup in India, one of my friends’s parents are from India and they specifically mention that’s one of the things they remembered watching on TV in India growing up. It’s not a big political thing like India vs Pakistan cricket because Pakistan generally also doesn’t qualify for the World Cup lmao and people just vaguely root for Argentina Mexico or any other team that does well

That is true and the way that the comic generally portrays men and women is a huge shift from the past, but it is also true that the writer is horny lmao

It’s about the breakdown in traditional gender roles. In a “traditional” marriage the man goes to work and the woman does household stuff.

Put another way a traditional western household needs both a man and a woman, and it actively doesn’t work if you don’t have both because a woman would not have been able to go to work and make any sort of reasonable wage capable of taking care of a household and a man would not have been able to respectably take care of a household. Victorians would not have considered two men or two women living with each other a household or a marriage because part of their definition of a marriage, men, and women are their social roles.

Gay/lesbian marriage only makes sense in a world where some semblance of gender equality exists and these kinds of social roles aren’t so gender exclusive. The original comic is fearmongering the possibility of a more equal social order where it’s even possible to consider women being able to become enough like men that they could marry other women.
