ch*tiya is not sexist, it is a synonym for calling someone epic proportions of an idiot or buffoon.

Yes, using a group, or their attributes to weaponize them as a slur, is bigotry. Misogyny is a type of bigotry where women are targeted. And besides, the direct translation of chut*ya is c*nt. C*nt is a misogynistic word. These are gendered slurs.
Well, l*wda is also sexist and misandrist, and used just as often, and so are mixed slurs like bkl or mkl. Every culture has these kinds of slurs. And it will be decades before that changes in India, or any country, because “westernisation” will no longer gain cultural traction, as it is beginning to hurt many people brazenly.
chatiya? chetiya? chitiya? chotiya? chutiya?
Why are you censoring yourself? I’m not sure that word means anything in English.
Hindi. Hindi happens to be one of the top 5 spoken languages of the world.
That may be, but most Hindi speakers are quite concentrated in one area of the world and IIRC make up less than 10% of fediverse or something.
Many Indians simply type English on the internet, because foreigners cannot understand Hindi. However Indians among themselves often use Hindi, just like Chinese, Russians, those who speak Spanish, Esperanto or Portuguese (Brasil). That does not mean those languages have less speakers, they are just not visible on “western corporate” internet.
