Indian cities are unclean primarily because of the population. More specifically, because of congestion. The only way to fix this problem is by decongestion of these cities (apart from the awesome Swachh Bharat mission initiated by our Prim

This is ridiculous. How in the world can those statements amount to sexism/slut-shaming?

Interesting article! The Rishi's and Yogi's in India always woke up at 4 in the morning. In the Hindu Yogic philosophy this time period is also called the Brahma Muhurta. If anyone is interested, you can read more about it here:

It is hypocritical that Indian publications glorify people who have left the country for good? I think your statement is hypocritical. Has the West not done the same? Who was Mother Teresa? When she adopted India as her home, leaving her bi

Not true at all. We have a lot of contemporary role models to look up to. In fact I can bet that 99% of Indians know nothing about Sundar Pichai. However, I can also bet that 99% would have heard of J.R.D Tata, Kirloskar, Narayan Murthy or

Have you seen a billboard of Sundar Pichai in the US? If you haven't, then why would you expect to see one in India? He is no celebrity here. We are proud of the fact that he achieved a lot. But that does not mean he automatically achi

No worries. Can you, if possible, point me to the article so I can see who wrote it? Typically you never find billboards of founders/CEOs etc in India and if there is one that is a first.

by shripadk 10y ago
I am willing to bet that there are none. You'll find billboards of politicians, bollywood celebrities or businesses at the max. Billboards are expensive. I'm sure even Sundar Pichai wouldn't want his photo plastered on a bill

I haven't seen a single billboard of Sundar Pichai in India. Stop spreading lies.

Or maybe those disturbing incidents are because of the imploding corrupt university system? If you actually studied in an Indian university (especially those aided/funded by the government) you'll know how corrupt the entire syste

These do not fall under "selection bias" when you take this article into context. According to the definition of "selection bias": "Selection bias is the selection of individuals, groups or data for analysis in such

I don't understand this "selection bias" argument at all. How is it that in all other countries in the World with a significant minority Asian population do Asians always top the rest with respect to earning? I'm sure no

Then how do you explain the same Asians people being successful in other countries where the immigration process is not as strict as USA? By saying that "already-high-IQ" people immigrate to the home country aren't you in eff

Can you explain how Asian men/women in America are an anomaly? Aren't Asian men/women successful in other countries (including their own) as well?

If the caste system teaches people to become desensitized to the suffering of those around them why do the same people go en-masse to rescue the so called "others" when a natural tragedy or terror strike takes place in India? Do t

by shripadk 10y ago
Nonsense. Is this something you learned from reading articles online? The caste system doesn't teach people to become desensitized to suffering around them. Quote me the scripture which supposedly "teaches" you such nonsense.

That exists in India in the form of societies like Lions Club, Rotary Club etc. However, the number of hospitals that are supported by these charitable societies are understandably smaller in comparison to the number of private hospitals.

It is not FUD. It is a fact and has been the case with lots of accidents in India. If that was not so, the Supreme Court of India would not have approved guidelines on how to treat Good-Samaritans. Read about it here: http://thew

I can help you get a fair idea of the prevalent caste system: 1. You can get all knowledge about the caste system from the interwebs. Especially read up on "Manu Smriti" ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manu_Smr

Caste system is not the same as Racism. However, it has nothing to do with accidents. When you see a person involved in an accident in India you won't be able to make out his/her caste by looking at them (unlike race where the rac

Huh? What rubbish! It has nothing to do with race. In India we do have a caste system but even with that you won't be able to look at an injured person and get to know his/her caste.

Government/charities need not award us any lottery. All the Government needs to do is bring a law that protects the good-samaritans (remove all the unnecessary legal hassles and allow us to be anonymous). Heck I would even be willing t

I can confirm this. Hospitals don't treat unless the injured person's relative(s) sign legal papers. The general rule of thumb in India is that one should always carry at least an ID proof (better yet an insurance policy) so that
