The comparision with chinese is not appropriate. Indians can be compared to any ghetto dwelling population that is jealous of the others in the ghetto when one improves or progresses everyone else
hates him and tries to keep him from leaving the ghetto . I might be giving an indian american view
don't know about canada? but this jealous competition/rivalry is even stronger in the kids in USA;
It reminds me a lot of the Indian soap operas it is viscous and malicious.
As much of a paradox it is, i am no expert ON Indians. I have astringently mostly avoided Indians growing up precisely dueto this crab in a barrel mentality and i am only even in solid touch with just a few cousins ( i am no lafraa guy, but i will cut you off if r lafraa and toxic type to me).
I hate the fact that i have only met like 5-6 indian aunties who want to talk about what i THINK than talk about my creds and work and accomplishmnts and then turn convo into some contest-fest with their kids and ask me to help out or brag in front of me.
Yes, that may be another aspect as to why Indians suck at not just diaspora but overall unity-we are too dehati crab in the barrel mentality gao-walla mentality people as a culture.
Cant stand success of others.
Like i got told one of my cousins apparently got instantly jealous and has hated me ever since coz i outshone him academically by a country mile. Wot de foc. he didnt even fail. he has a good job.Forget my cousin sis outshining me, i dont even feel bad when i see an acquaintance go become super duper successful and hit jackpot. I guess i am not wired that way.
But then again, maybe why i am also such an oddball bong- my dad was raised in andaman and he is bong who hates bong and only has ever lived in bongistan as retired rich bong shut-in with his crowd of people.
Anyways, i cant solve India or hinduism or Indians - i have empirical proof that heriditary caste is bullshit, because by caste i am brahman, kuleen brahman no less, but by nature and by accomplishment i am kshatriya and i am completely useless trying to scratch my beard fixing hindu or india issues, but i am blood good at fighting our enemies and cancelling them out. Heck, forget being an actual karma-brahman, my knowledge of hinduism ITSELF is 1/100000th of what a brahmin whos done puja should be and i know less of hinduism than 90% of kattar hindus, regardless of caste. So much for 'muh caste by birth' nonsense, as by that logic i am world's shittiest brahman or in contest for that maybe.
But in terms of ground work, in terms of doing something for logistics, for funding, for intel, etc. i am there- so maybe i am karma-kshatriya? karma-vaish for hinduism ? i dunno.
So that is what i focus on. I can tell this is what Chinese are mucho better than us at and how their mechanics work, how they are better at xyz. I have no plan or idea how to make us better, that is the job of the real karma-brahmans amongst us, as i am by karma, kshatriya, not brahman.
I guess my spirit-guru is Parashuram- never thought till now lol.
