I’ve noticed that outside of the West, liberalism at most has a cult following or people are actively hostile to it. People are very tribalistic and view the world in those terms, or at absolute best they have some kind of universalizing religious belief. When I say the West too it’s even narrower than that because it’s just Western Europe and America. Even in places like the Balkans (which I love) liberalism feels pretty embattled and like a foreign implant.

"liberal" is a slur in India so this checks out. 'Oh you must be one of those human rights types.' 

Ok man.
