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.

    It was not part of “India”

      Yeah I made sure to specify. After all India is named after the Indus river which doesn't even run through the nation of India save for contested Kashmir. So acquiescing to the idea of a nation state of India as possessing intrinsic borders based on the sub-continent is weird
