like i legit have never seen any images from the past couple years with that many hammers and sickles and communist imagery in one place, like MAYBE north korea. I'm not really educated on india rn, and idk if anyone has any kind of grasp on the situation there so i figured i'd ask here lol

    Probably not. Trade Unionism doesn't usually lead to revolution. At best, we could hope for a leftist victory in the next elections, but that's a long shot. Even then, they'll probably be neutralized in power.

    India doesn't have enough natural resources relative to its population for a petro-welfare state, like we often see in elected leftist governments. They need investment to grow the economy, and that means concessions to capital. And no, China won't step in to save them.
