I gave a random reply to an equally random comment made at my post and now people are scrutinizing that?😆
I didn't comment anything that's anti national.Neither did I verbally attack any member for their opinion or abuse. Without even giving me a chance to reply, I am labelled ignorant, prejudiced, assumed having less intellect and also having low self esteem and a personality disorder. And you guys don't even know me. Thanks for wasting your time on assumptions and essays for someone whom you haven't even interacted before. If my opinion doesn't match with yours, you can counter argument in a better manner I believe, or atleast give me time to reply to your posts before assuming. Saying something against India or it's culture which you don't agree to doesn't make me an anti-national or something living outside India. It's your problem that you can't deal with people having opposite opinions.
And it's all the more weird when members making a hue and cry over people judging them on the basis of their opinions/pushing down opinions through one's throat doing the EXACT SAME THING when tables turn.😆 Dear atominis and others, whatever I said about Indian culture is my personal opinion.Just like you have your choice and add hashtags like #Mychoice to your posts, this is my opinion as well. Your assumptions of me being misinformed or having limited reading because I say something else, will not change my opinion.
To dear cineraria, who spent so much time writing a long essay and then editing it out even before I read it, I am not on IF 24*7.Give me time to read what you wrote AND let me reply before making those brilliant assumptions about myself.
To the desh bhakts writing long essays, I have a scroll in my mouse.I choose what to read and what to not. So from the next time, please don't waste time writing patriotic essays if I say something against Indian culture.Your time is getting wasted,not mine.
And to everybody, who assumed I have anti national thoughts,calm down. I don't. I only gave my opinion on Fiery Phoenix's comment.What was so hurtful in what I wrote? If keeping quite about common things like sex, periods and restricting people to dress the way they want and live the way they want to,even freaking restricting people to eat whatever they want to are a part of the Indian culture and sanskar, then sorry, that for me is redundant. And if the culture of some other country is progressive in such things, I will follow that no matter if that makes me anti Indian or not.
And about my restricted knowledge in history, having several monuments being built by the Mughals,etc doesn't dilute the fact that even the British has built a lot of monuments in the country. Every 3 out of 5 monuments you come across in Calcutta are made by the British. But we still boast of how the biggest cantilever bridge in the world is in India (Howrah Bridge), etc. I spoke about what I see around me, I am not quoting facts or figures.
We for sure are super excited when foreigners mouth Indian dialogues and hindi, people in the west adopt Yoga, we boast how ayurveda,etc everything that's Indian is being used by the world- all these 'not adapting western culture', 'western culture is bad' comments and quotes conveniently disappear. So why should people be termed having personality disorders for aping the west? You are nobody to decide that people are 'blindly' copying western culture. It's the age of globalization people. Get to terms with reality!
Just like someone not highly thinking about sexual freedom doesn't become backward, the same way someone criticizing their own culture doesn't make him/her an anti national or a person who hates India.
From a fellow Indian, who very much resides in India, enjoys many things that the country has to offer,has his own opinions about his own culture and has the freedom and right to talk about it in a public forum.
P.S- Don't bother dragging this issue and arguing about this whole ignorant/misinformed shit any longer. If you have something else to say, I will be happy to respond. 😛
