Then there are the Indian fire crackers. I can vouch for the Hydrogen bomb, used to feel like an artillery strike when it explodes.

And no, they didn't make these for trolling. These are genuine standard stuff. USA might have bullshitted you about Saddam's atom bomb to dig oil, but we don't, we made it for him.

They all will explode and spread litter all over. Now that I think about it, they have an explosive core, and they are rolled with multiple layers of newspaper to contain the explosion so that they create a big bang.

Ironically, the Hitler one, from what I remember, used to be pretty good. People probably blow up a million Hitlers during Diwali.

People blowing up millions of Hitlers sounds so funny for some reason

Do they still blow hitlers up now?

u/ExtremeBack1427 23h ago

Must be, I don't know what the kids these days are blowing up, but considering the fact that even after 70 years that bugger is still in style somehow, I have a feeling he will be blown up for a decade or two till India tightens its pollution policies.

That said, an average Indian's understanding of Hitler is largely positive because in local conversation Hitler is an authoritarian figure who was very disciplined and brutal, so the usage of the word Hitler is associated with someone who is very strict. And so, Hitlers name colloquially get thrown around in a sort of 'it's bad' but it's respectable.

And if you talk about the Jews to someone from India who is not very inclined towards European history or World War 2 era history, the typical answer you can expect is, they don't know that fruit, so they will take the apple juice instead. Which is ironic since historically, India is probably the only country where Jews settled in and were never prosecuted. The local Jewish settlements cleared out and gradually went to Israel after its formation. This does play out in geopolitics even today, since Israel typically mostly takes India's side in many aspects.

This is actually ridiculous. I can't believe that they have dictators and terrorists on their packaging for fireworks.

I mean look at oddly terrifying too many posts there are just straight up terrifying. Although this wouldn't fit there either.

That may be used as a door breacher by the s.w.a.t unit. It's a door breach and smoke-out at the same time.
