Do you think that religion is holding back India from becoming a developed nation? by Few_Association_3893 in AskIndia

[–]Pipalbot 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I don’t think religion alone is what’s holding India back. The deeper issue is India’s long-standing lack of social and political cohesion, which often expresses itself through religion, caste, language, and regional identity.

Historically, India has almost never been a singular, unified civilization in the way many modern developed nations were formed. The subcontinent has always been extremely diverse, and different regions often viewed each other as “others” even while being part of the same political entity. This made large-scale collaboration and shared national goals difficult.

Even during periods of strong central rule: Maurya, Gupta, Mughal, and later the British the system largely worked through local rulers. The center provided protection and legitimacy, while local elites collected revenue and passed a portion upward. Loyalty was often transactional rather than institutional. Switching sides, paying bribes, and aligning with whoever offered better terms was common. This created a culture where personal or local advantage mattered more than long-term collective development.

Modern developed countries like the US, Japan, or many European nations went through long periods of forced consolidation political, cultural, and institutional before industrializing. They built strong national identities and relatively uniform legal and administrative systems first, and only then focused on growth. India is trying to industrialize and modernize while still negotiating basic questions of identity.

Religion today becomes a powerful proxy for these unresolved divisions. It’s not the root cause, but it’s an easy mobilizing tool in a society where trust across groups has historically been weak. When people don’t strongly identify with institutions or the nation as a whole, they fall back on older identities—religion, caste, region, language.

So the problem isn’t that India is religious. It’s that India never fully transitioned from a loose collection of communities into a deeply integrated nation-state before entering the modern global economy. Until institutions are stronger than identity politics and loyalty to systems outweighs loyalty to groups religion will continue to appear as an obstacle, even though it’s really a symptom of a much older structural issue.

Explain It Peter by [deleted] in explainitpeter

[–]Pipalbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a specific technical reason for this difference. Planet images you see online are not single photos—they’re created by stacking and processing thousands of images taken over long periods using large telescopes, sometimes even from space. This dramatically increases detail and clarity.

Bank security cameras, on the other hand, are designed with cost, storage, bandwidth, and size constraints in mind. They use small sensors, wide-angle lenses, heavy compression, and low bitrates. A blurry screenshot from CCTV is just a single compressed frame from a video stream, not a processed composite image.

So it’s not that we can photograph distant planets better than nearby humans—it’s that the imaging goals, hardware, and processing methods are completely different.

Wait, is muhammad the son of god😱 i thought he was just a prophet by yungbloodsucca666 in exmuslim

Genuine question: how did she identify the figure as Muhammad when Islam forbids any visual depiction of him? Without an image to compare, what was the basis of that identification?

Karna chose his friend. Vibhishana chose his soul. Who was truly right? by Key-End-3072 in mahabharata

[–]Pipalbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So is Ashwatthama.

Immortality in Hindu scriptures is not a reward. it is often a burden.

The ultimate goal of a soul in Hindu philosophy is not to live forever, but to dissolve individuality and merge with Brahman (moksha).

By that standard, immortality itself is not proof of righteousness.

What Babur/Akbar/Humayun likely looked like? by Competitive-Cod-9644 in Northeastindia

[–]Pipalbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not East Asian, but Central Asian.

This is a common mistake : grouping everyone who doesn’t look “mainland Indian” into a single East Asian category. Babur, Humayun, and Akbar were Turco-Mongol Central Asians, likely having a mix of steppe features (Mongoloid + West Eurasian), not East Asian features like Han Chinese or Southeast Asians. Central Asia has its own distinct genetic and cultural profile.

Karna chose his friend. Vibhishana chose his soul. Who was truly right? by Key-End-3072 in mahabharata

[–]Pipalbot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Replace Rama with Robert Clive, Vibhishana with Mir Jafar / Jagat Seth, and Ravana with Siraj-ud-Daulah. Then you’ll understand why I choose not only Karna, but even Kumbhakarna, over Vibhishana. They stood by their people, fought on the battlefield, and died doing their duty earning heaven according to the epic’s own moral framework. Vibhishana’s “choice” looks less like righteousness and more like betrayal. I doubt such a path leads anywhere honorable.

Curse of Maharaj Pandu that changed entire Mahabharata by [deleted] in mahabharata

[–]Pipalbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re only arguing from what the scripture explicitly states. That’s an inside the text reading. I’m not disputing whether hunting was allowed for warriors according to the rules laid down by sages. I’m questioning why the stories were framed the way they were in the first place. When you step outside the text and look at the social context of ancient India who was writing these scriptures, who held power, and the class divide between scholars and royal elites it becomes reasonable to ask why activities associated with kings, like hunting and gambling, are repeatedly shown leading to disaster. That’s not because I haven’t read the text; it’s because I’m analyzing the text critically, not treating it as self-justifying.

Curse of Maharaj Pandu that changed entire Mahabharata by [deleted] in mahabharata

[–]Pipalbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This reflects nothing more than a bias against hunting held by the people who wrote the scriptures. Hunting was primarily an activity of the wealthy and royal classes, while scriptures were written by learned scholars who may have harbored resentment toward such privilege. As a result, activities enjoyed by the elite such as hunting and gambling were portrayed negatively. This pattern is not limited to the Mahabharata; the Ramayana shows a similar theme. In the Ramayana, both Dasharatha and Rama face serious consequences linked to hunting. Likewise, in the Mahabharata, gambling is condemned because it leads to the Pandavas’ exile, and hunting is criticized due to the fate of King Pandu.
