  1. Glad that someone is speaking about this articulation. Have been seeing this since I started. I see this everyday in Bangalore. Most startups just burn money to survive and get rich, very few actually create an India story. Well this happens everywhere actually not just india.

  2. As a Black person that has grown up in Western multi-cultural society this video confirms my general theories and observations of different cultures and peoples of the world, and how Indian traits have this quality which is both Indian's greatest strength and India's greatest weakness.

    In a nut shell. Indians tend to be the most conservative/risk-averse/traditional/unquestioningly trend-following people in the world. While most Black (or Sub-Saharan African descent people) are most liberal/risk-taking/non-conforming/questioning/rebellious people in the world.

    Blacks, individually are 'loud' and expressive. Even in a physical sense Black culture tends to value those who stand out, full figured women, and the equivalent for men. While Indians, individually are 'quiet' and not standing out (which in the schools, work institutions is how you score 100% in grades. School Grades in the Western world correlate to conforming/teacher's pet/doing what you are told, rather than human intellectual capacity. Similarly with jobs, the bootlicker is rewarded and promoted, the rebel is ostracized and not financially rewarded for his/her unique contributions as they don't measure on the spreadsheet of merit which only recognizes known quantities, rather than unknown qualities)

    Whether there is a genetic propensity for this, or it's all just cultural. I don't really know, and if it was genetic, well there's nothing we can do about our genes. But as it is human behaviour, cultural practices/strategies can be adopted to mitigate the behaviour, be aware of it, and harness other qualities in the human resource.

    Funny thing is, many will probably take criticism to heart, and think it's based on a dislike of Indians. The reality is most people don't really dislike Indians as a phenotype. Most dislike for Indians is almost entirely 100% due to behavioural practices. It's not like Blacks or Chinese who are chiefly disliked in Western societies for physical appearance. In this sense a lot of anti-Indian hate is like anti-7ew hate, rooted in market competition and other practices which are usually only known from personal interactions, not from looking at a photo of a person from said background and saying "Eww, looks like a monkey, or has slant eyes etc."

    What benefit is there for Non-Indians to point this out to Indians?

    1. To make fun of their plight?
    2. To help India become more competitive?
    or 3. To help India unleash it's human creative & innovative potential, creating a more vibrant nation, that can add unique value to the world, and in turn making Indians & India more likeable to the rest of the world.

    Surely number 3. is the win win solution. But you have to be truly humble and put ego to the side, and trust the process of karma.

    Risk is how you gain in this universe. While Risk-aversion is simply being protective, eventually you'll get overtaken by someone or something that wasn't afraid to take a few risks.

    I'm sure many in India must know this or feel this. But if you don't stand up, make a concerted effort to change in the face of fear and doubt, then it may take a much longer time to change.
