I had headcanon Kabru as black initially (as I tend to do when someone vaguely resembles me lol) but now looking into his name, he might actually be this fantasy world's equivalent to Indian or South Asian ethnically.

Mana, located in Uttarakhand's Chamoli district shares a border with China. The Border Roads Organisation (BRO) placed a signboard at the border village of “Mana” in Uttarakhand, declaring it to be the “First Indian Village.”
It is in the beautiful Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, situated at an altitude of 3,200 meters. It's a special place because it's the first village on the way to the Mana Pass, just 26 kilometers from the border of India and Tibet.
Mana is more than just a village; it's a place rich in culture, closely linked to the nearby Hindu pilgrimage site of Badrinath, only 3 kilometers away. The people of Mana are proud of their traditions, which are connected to the spiritual importance of Badrinath.
The journey to Mana is as beautiful as the village itself. Travelers travel along National Highway 7, which offers stunning views of the mountains and valleys. As they near Mana, they see traditional wooden houses. Hindi and Garhwali language is used over here . The village also serves as a starting point for exploring other amazing places in Uttarakhand, making it a must-visit for those looking for both natural beauty and cultural experiences.
📍 LOCATION: Chamoli district of Uttarakhand, India, near the border of India and Tibet.
Shein controversies are so fucking wild. I'm making a PPT for my seminar and I have no tension about reaching the minimum slides requirements. And I wonder why people still use it. I understand the “cheap” part. But what about the harmful chemicals and lead in the clothes? Or forced labour? Or design theft? Etc…. There are many other cheaper and more sustainable alternatives. I would use them.
And those “influencers” who buy Shein in bulk and then throw them away?! And now making “sheglam” famous. In return for what? Your own health? Those poor labours’ life?
