This is just some rant I wrote. Would like to hear what fellow Indian members such as Bojangles think of these ideas. I'm trying to improve my writing skills, so comments on the quality of text are also welcome.

Feminization of Indian Men

Throughout the known history, the western people have been at wars, contrary to India, which has been wise and peaceful. Unfortunately there have been some negative consequences of our attitude.

The Germans, British, Spaniards etc have been fighting for territorial control and world until the later half of twentieth century. War is a terrible thing, but it also has its positive side effects.

Most of the technological development we see in the world today was spurred on by the World wars. Without them, we would have been technologically less developed for sure. All that hard work, i.e. development of new vehicles, weapons, materials, branches of sciences was done mostly by men. Even the wars were fought and waged by men. Not considering the morality of war, it is an expression of manliness. The passion, sense of achievement, the aggression, dominance and risk taking that are part and parcel of manliness must be exercised for self defense, freedom and survival in the form of war. It is this continual striving for survival that makes men out of boys.

India has been a peaceful country for millenniums, internal unrest aside. It has not tried to invade any other country. That meant the men of this country had no way of expressing manliness in the form of war or violence. Other ways of expressing manliness such as pursuing a goal with intense passion, devoting one's life to a cause etc were also not practiced in our country. It is evident in the fact that most of the significant developments in science, medicine, art etc. in the last 500 years have been done in the west.

Societies all over the world never encourage manly bahaviour, since they comprise mostly of women, children, old people and weak men, i.e. humans with weak willpower, aversion to responsibility (and hence true freedom), longing for security and stability instead of risk taking and excitement. There is nothing wrong with their attitude, since children need a safe environment to grow in, women need the same for bringing up children and old people deserve to die in peace and manliness is a only a guarantee of strength, not wisdom; i.e. too many manly men would mean a considerable percentage of them being very dangerous (e.g. druglords).

Our culture is highly flawed in the sense that since manliness wasn't absolutely necessary in the warriors to protect the country or invade others, it wasn't even allowed to flourish in the form of other achievements. As a result, manliness was no longer needed, and evolutionarily it started to be weeded out of Indian men. The living proof is difference in the size of an average caucasian man and an Indian man. The average height Indian men is 5'5" whereas the average height of even American women is 5'6".

Further evidence is the developed state of western nations, and ours in contrast. When have you ever seen Indians doing something out of passion, and not just to make money; or listened to them talking about new ideas instead of their usual whining about dissatisfaction with the system? Only a small percentage deviates from this attitude. In conclusion, most Indian men have just become women in a man's body; only interested in their self interest and their offspring's, only interested in means instead of the process to get them, no craving for adventure and risk taking, status obsessed, slaves of jealousy, possessiveness and ego. No surprise we hear and read stories of crimes happening in daylight and nobody coming to help the victim, even after the crime has happened, because face it; manliness is virtually dead in India.

The subject isn't really my thing but the quality of the writing is good. It flows well with a good vocabulary.

1. India has not been a peaceful place...ever. If you look at Indian history, the subcontinent has effectively always been split into princely states that were continuously at war.

Do you know how the British were able to conquer India? They did it by pandering to these maharajas' wars with each other. They played an extremely good game of divide and conquer.

The reason why India has never invaded another country is because Indian states have been too busy invading each other.

2. In the caste system, there's a caste just for warriors. To imply Indian culture has not appreciated warriors is ludicrous considering the only caste considered higher than warriors is the priest class.

3. Our short stature I believe has more to do with the extreme level of poverty and terrible diet. I'll be the first to admit, being 5ft5 that the standard Indian diet is terrible. Take a look at Indians in the west and especially those who've adapted a western diet can be really tall.

4. The number 0 was invented in India. I know it might be hard to grasp just how revolutionary a decimal system really is because we're so used to is. But it has been argued that invention was the most important one in mankind[Image: confused.gif] history.

5. Your argument about money, Indian people being petty, jealous etc can be applied to most western men. In fact in any given society, only a small percentage of men truly stand out. Most are sheep. Indian men are no different in this aspect than other cultures.


There's a lot of things wrong with Indian culture, but none of it is what you prescribe.

I think one of our biggest issues has been the caste system. Men have effectively been told what they were going to be by birth. Until very recently you did what your father did. Heck my dad still does what my last name means (imagine having 'Smith' as your last name and your dad actually still being a blacksmith).

You're saying this is universal? What would be the explanation of difference in the current state of nations then?
