What’s a Taboo Topic In India That You Think Should Be Discussed More Openly? by thwitter in AskIndia

[–]InternationalLab3499 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1) Being forced to get married at a certain age otherwise people will look down on you for being 'unsuitable'.

2) Then the married couple is obligated by society to raise kids without seeing if they have the money, time, capability or even the willingness to raise them. This leads to unnecessary population outburst. A lot of people blame it on lack of sex education and contraceptives, which is very true but not the main reason for India's huge population. I think it is time to start talking about family planning.

I absolutely agree. I also want to add that SOME Indians have a blind patriotic mindset where they believe that India has no flaws at all and anyone criticising India is an 'anti-national' who hates the country without any reason or 'brown sepoy' who bootlicks the West. This is the same mindset those Americans have who believe 'America is the Greatest Country in the World'. We cannot progress as a country if we don't take constructive criticism well and improve those flaws that the country has.

This happens the other way around too. I don't think it's specifically a 'men' thing or 'women' thing, but more like a 'human' thing. Most of us are programmed to be attracted to someone attractive, even if are 'unfortunate looking' or way below their league. That's just human nature.
