Re: Why is everything a conspiracy for desi folks ?
I've said this before, but in Pakistan, conspiracy theories have become a psychological coping mechanism for the social anxiety that people experience on a daily basis.

Many desi folks abroad also believe in one or more of those conspiracy theories.

What goes around in our country, people find it difficult to digest and have to fall back on conspiracy theories to get some kind of solace.
True.
But seriously there is all sorts of weird stuff that goes on too. Raymond Davis for one, we have about 700 of these CIA agents in the country, no one knows what they're up to and naturally people come up with all sorts of conspiracy theories. American drones violate our sovereignty and strike innocent people everyday, again what do you expect. In a country where misinformation is rife, education is scarce and journalists get abducted and killed by unknown agencies, there are bound to be conspiracy theories.
