@Deleted User That requires a national identity

Individuals will form institutions of power within themselves secretly

that doesnt exist in the scenario you two are talking about?

Nope, it's india

If your schools are being shot up, you’re not a nation

oh never mind lol

A national identity shall not stop me from hating a man who hurls insults at me day and night when I get outta home.

but that is just life

deal with it

@Deleted User Our dems are gutting our right to self defense in favor of police action, which is leading to an increase in these mass crimes

You are very wrong to say Indians are tribal. Mostly they are nationalistic jingoes who would kill anyone on feeling they do not have enough national loyalty

@ᚴᚬᚾᛁᚾᚴ ᚱᚢᚦᚴᚨᚱ (Hrothgar) Oh? So why are private militias being made to have raids on neighbors?

That's mainly in rural areas where property conflicts and age old family feuds are common.

And it shall be common among people with history

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?

@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
