Um, we make fun of our authority figures but also believe the worst of them
How do you behave with them when you face to face with them? i.e., How do you communicate with them? Behind backdoors, things are normal here too (i.e., we don't respect them, unless they are a charismatic politician)
no joke dude, I hate this. Indians (including me) become slavish when we encounter authority. I need to change this in myself or leave! This is too fucking gloomy! It's like our bones melt and we become liquid! ughh...!
hard working but not especially skilled
Terrible education and bad priorities doomed this country. Having a billion people is useless if they are not well-educated. I know this tale way too well, this is the reason why people who can leave this country do leave it and most who can send their children abroad for education do send them there.
Fuck! who am I kidding, I will make sure my kids study abroad, the education in this country won't improve anytime soon.
edit: Good observation there!
I don't understand why people are downvoting you, you are right!
I don't like people taking credit for something that happened in the past (they had nothing to do with it) but you are right in stating that.
hav darr yhou!? tbh I am working on improving my English much much more, I love the literary works and the poetry and I don't want my English to be a constraint while trying to read those works which require a higher level of English knowledge.
It felt predatory. I didn’t feel safe, I felt uncomfortable, I felt I was a freak and an oddity
I feel no connection to this culture whatsoever, I would happily follow your cultural norms if ever am lucky enough to visit the West, so you are not offending me, and I appreciate the honestly too :)
Talking of tech support, I must mention that your McAfee subscription has expired and at a low cost of $40 you can get lifetime access :)
such as how much of the world is making sacrifices to stop buying gas from Russia but India’s just undermining their good intentions for profit
I might disagree with most things this government does, but I can't deny the fact that's something overwhelmingly popular with Indians (including me)
We literally have people suffering from malnutrition in this country, people who still die of hunger, you can't expect us to not buy cheap oil from Russia. Sorry, we will buy oil from everyplace where it is cheap, we can alleviate suffering of our own people by money and we will try to do it as best as we can.
I know there is innovation but nothing major springs to mind
There is NO INNOVATION. There are no discoveries happening here. R&D budget and the budget for education is peanuts, there isn't much innovation happening in India and the innovation that does happen, happens in handful of universities by students who could not afford to move out to a better country which would fund their research.
a product of John Oliver.
that guy is almost always biased as hell and lies to make people he disagrees with seem bad, but damn, he went wayyy to easy on modi even though he dislikes Modi! Idk why!?. He attributed things to modi which weren't his own (like rations and the economic progress) and generally was misinformed. Terrible research team! I could have given him better points! and his delivery was subpar! The last Modi episode was better, maybe he was trying to gain a wider audience in India as otherwise we would have banned the show (We love Free speech here in India)
it's the culture, it won't change even if it supposedly changed in the law.
