Hindu metaphysics is much superior to any work done in philosophy in the West. But I suppose it's too difficult for you to understand as all you have done in life is read NYT and watch CNN. When you see Hindus, you see caste and what not. When you see Americans you don't see slavery. That's how your mind has been whitewashed.
- sumedh 8y agoAh yes the classic finger-pointing excuse.
- no1name 8y agoBetter than steamrolling the debate by mentioning 'sati' and 'widow burning'. How'd you feel if to every achievement of Western civilization that you mention I said 'brutal slavery' (which actually finished the African civilization) and 'burning of witches'?
- KozmoNau7 8y agoSlavery in the US ended ~150 years ago and a couple of decades before that in Europe. Similarly, the last known witch trial and execution in Europe was ~200 years ago. And outright witch burnings stopped long before that. By contrast, witch hunts still happen in India, as well as gang rapes and mutilations, on a level completely unheard of in the west. And the caste system is still in effect, although not officially. I trust you've seen the massive protests, and I hope it's a sign that something is being done. Based on reports of political corruption and indifference from the population, unfortunately I don't have much hope for it.
- no1name 8y agoWow man, I appreciate your persistence. I am yet to hear of a scandal of the scale of Telford and Rotherham in India. I heard that thousands of white young working-class girls were kept in grooming gangs by Pakistani men. It'll be really better for you if you peep in your backyard rather than using italics in a passive-aggressive way to educate me about India. Also, I see no protest about these grooming gangs and in fact Tommy Robinson who was reporting on it was thrown in prison! This is the state of Western world, the harbinger of liberal democracy!!! And I'd really really suggest that you come out of the toxic bubble your media like NYT and CNN and WaPo have put you in. It's really depressing to see that you have taken zero efforts to learn what's actually going on. I guess you should use social media more actively and listen to and talk to people outside your political spectrum to curtail your arrogance and extreme lack of knowledge.
- KozmoNau7 8y agoPersonal attacks are absolutely uncalled for.
- no1name 8y agoUsing passive-aggressive tactics to defend your flimsy 'arguments' is absolutely uncalled for. This is really not good if Western world has come down to this. I'd suggest you urgently pay attention to the girls in Telford and Rotherham, I heard lot of politicians are also involved in it. If true, this could be the biggest scandal in a modern democracy in past 300 years. No developing country, esp. India, comes close to having that kind of a scandal. Also how medieval can a country be to allow its fringe elements to own guns like in USA? No wonder we hear gruesome stories of mass shootings day after day after day. It really breaks my heart to see so many small kids being sacrificed to keep USA medieval. I can't think of a worse thing happening in any other democracy in the whole world. And I know Americans are just not bothered about it.
- sumedh 8y agook we wont talk about sati and caste system, lets talk about the gang rapes and how females are not treated equally. I dont understand why you keep bringing western civilization, probably because you think I am a westerner, I am not. So stop the finger pointing.
- no1name 8y agoI'm not interested in talking to someone who does not have any basic idea about the Indian society. You sound like someone who has not applied even an iota of brain apart from what you see in the media. If you really believe that there are some weird rapes happening in India all the time and that Indian women are in some danger, you need some medical help asap.
