Well, the OP's citation is "Not really an Indian,..." So you don't require more credibility than that when someone is commenting on an Indian story!
- Yetanfou 6y agoIf you cite make sure to use a complete citation. He wrote "Not really an Indian, but from a similar kind of community in its neighboring country." which gives more credibility to his statement than the partial citation you used. It is still anecdotal of course but given the history of the region the culture does not shift dramatically as soon as you cross the border.

It is still anecdotal of course but given the history of the region the culture does not shift dramatically as soon as you cross the border. This gross generalisation is nothing new about India. People who do that(even if they are from a "neighboring country") do not understand the many contours of a vast and very diverse country! Indians have now become used to this partial vision of others about the country. The rest of the citation you included itself would have given you a hint: "similar kind of community in its neighboring country". Comparing a community to a whole country is quite a leap!
- mrmuagi 6y agoWhat a rotund dismissal of very serious problem. Some things do generalize well, you know? The relationship of poverty and alcohol consumption is universal, no matter the level of patriotic grandstanding you perform, it simply debilitates family units.
