I guess I'm not understanding this 'fued' thing
It’s because your country has no history
like the hatfield and mccoys?
or bloods and the crips?
^
@Deleted User One of those is not like the others lol
Good heavens, these people are proud of their family heritage and had some neighbours ever killed or made slights to one family in the past, a century long feud may ensue.
close enough
Its just like in the Scandinavian sagas
@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) Until you get over that nonsense, you'll never reach a fully liberal society
But who shall effort to strip influential families of their pride?
Shame
Until you get over mandatory service , you'll never reach a fully liberal society
There are Indian communities who solely base themselves on such shallow pride.
does this have to do with the caste system as well?
Wasn’t that abolished?
@Deleted User Maybe but mostly, no.
@Deleted User Not in people's hearts.
The US has a similar thing, but with only one group of individuals: black culture
@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) abolished by law but still in effect by society?
like affirmative action?
Massive privileges and reservations for lower castes have disgruntled the otherwise normal people
Yes
Ahh, legislated morality. That ALWAYS works /s
And now people who were never casteist on seeing their jobs stolen under their noses despite them scoring way high in the entrance exams than a lower caste individual finds hatred for the latter.
for some reason I thought India was moving away from that
and allowing more market forces
I did not even know which caste was my friends until it came to admission to graduate colleges.
@Deleted User Moving away in a degree, not totally.
People are stopping to care nonetheless
Wasn’t India like socialist for a good part of the Cold War?
I did not feel any hatred to my lower caste friend for him getting admission in a better college than I did despite scoring low.
@Deleted User It is constitutionally socialist
Really?
Hence these laws have become the spirit of India
so back to these feuds real quick, is it mostly a rural thing? maybe more development will make them chill out
Yes it is the Secular Socialist Democratic Republic of India.
Good for her, the feeling is mutual.
