We also have something unique here in India. Like when you go through towns or cities here you will see big banners or poster with lots of faces on it just to say happy birthday, happy anniversary, condolences for death of some local politician, or powerful person

@mur2501 @thor Oh so that's what those are about. I've seen them in India, but I always thought it was political posters?

@loke
They do are somewhat political (but not in the European sense). Mostly Indian culture is about pride, respect, power, etc so having posters of you around the town saying you happy birthday shows your dominance over the region.

@mur2501 @thor I see. I thought they were posters relating to some specific local election.

I never really noted that they can be found even when there is no election in progress.

That's why I said this is not in the European political sense. Here politics is beyond just elections, they relate to culture, religion, communities, etc.
