r/marvelstudios - Did anyone else not know that Pakistan used to be part of India before watching Ms. Marvel? Or that it’s only 70 years old or so?

Incredibly sad that so many people in the imperial core can only learn about history when their superhero entertainment slop barely mentioned it. Watchmen had a scene showing the Tulsa massacre and millions of white people were like, "Wait, that happened?" I guess we need Spider Man 9 to have a scene detailing the Iran-Contra scandal for most people to realize that Reagan wasn't a great guy.

    I legit wasn't taught about that in school either, even in world history classes. The closest mention of the India-Pakistan split came from I think a movie of the life of Gandhi. Yes, fucking movies were a significant part of my education. American education is a straight up joke

      Lol this is how I learned about it too. I think watching theGandhi movie was the only teaching we were given on modern India/South Asia
