@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?

@Deleted User Yes and reinforced by the reverse casteism of the laws

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.

@Deleted User True that as soon as huge families break away in favour of secondary jobs in urban environment those family pride stuffs would be a goner.

more like jenny snout, if you know what i'm sayin...

@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) or when they move to better countries

@Deleted User I seriously do not want my people to flood the west.
