You are doing one of the things here that you just described.
Most of the Indian are insecure
Indians really are insecure. Old people are insecure from young people; young people are insecure around old people (lest they correct them). Men are insecure around women (lest they outdo them), and women are insecure around men (lest they assault them). Poor are insecure around rich (lest they bully/intimidate them), rich are insecure around poor (lest they rob them). Basically , everyone is insecure in Indian culture and our culture encourages it.
Chief
Because they are obsessed with blaming a billion people for their personal character flaws , all the time. No other ethnic group blames their entire community for all their problems and issues , all the time
Have daddy issues-must be Indian culture . Have mommy issues-blame all Indian mothers. Can’t get promoted- my Indian boss is the problems. Can’t get hired-must be that Indian in the group. I’m emotional stunted and can’t have a direct conversation with my SO- must be Indian genes
So C3 who says 'we are not supposed to'?
Do we ? I mean more than other cultures ? Or is it cognitive bias that we notice competitive behaviors and attribute it to them being Indian.
Perhaps we're not as socially elegant when we're being back stabby like white folk ?
Maybe because there are just too many of us 🤣🤣🤣. But I have to agree with you OP that Desi's in general are the worst critic of other Desi. Funny story, I was shopping with 2 yo in an Indian grocery store and we were buying veggies, an elderly uncle comes and tells my 2 yo, you should not just eat veggies but should focus on meat for more muscles. My 2 yo goes but we don't eat meat or eggs, and the elderly uncle was so offended. It was probably harmless but it did make me think we are in others business way too often...
This isn’t surprising. I’ve seen too many cases of Indian uncles offering unsolicited advice. My gym actually had to put up a sign asking people not to interrupt others’ workouts due to uncles incorrectly advising others on form. In the past I just politely and curtly say, “thank you” and keep it moving. Uncles usually know that what they’re saying is inappropriate but they continue doing it because they know they can get away with it.
OP pls tell us the story?
Case in point: have a look at Instagram comments under a Bollywood celebrity’s picture. The comments are usually sexually demeaning comments by Indian men and equally judgmental commentary by Indian women.
I’ve had Indian men stare at me and inappropriately touch me (I’m a guy btw. Can’t imagine what women go through).
Our families, friends and others are quick to criticize and fault find. This keeps us from trying anything new or even pushing us outside our comfort zone.
Jealousy? (is all over the world, not just in India.)
Controversial opinion: We were never supposed to be one country
We ended up making one country after British screwed all 21 principally states together
