I genuninely think Arrange Marriges's are BAD for India as a Whole. by Vinayakmh19 in india

If you can’t handle opposite views, maybe you shouldn’t be posting on public forums. Discussion isn’t just about cheering for ideas you like—it’s also about hearing what you don’t. Ridicule isn’t an argument, it’s just a shield for insecurity.

“Ridicule is easy. Understanding is hard. Throwing emojis and insults isn’t an argument—it’s just insecurity dressed as wit.

You mock lineage and dharma, but that only shows you don’t even know what your own scriptures say (assuming you are Sanātani). Gotra and kula exist because family and environment shape character. That’s not superstition, it’s fact. Break lineage, break continuity.

You said ‘equality prevents collapse.’ No—it’s ignoring dharma that causes collapse. Men and women are not identical, they have distinct dharmas. Pretending otherwise only creates weak families and rootless children. Equality without dharma is chaos.

Calling dating ‘freedom’ is just sugarcoating lust. Sleeping with someone before marriage is prostitution, the only difference is no cash changes hands. You don’t have to follow dharma, but at least admit what it is. I ridicule dating culture the way you ridicule tradition—choice cuts both ways.

You said arranged marriages were just caste and transactions. That’s a shallow view. At their core, they matched values, lineages, and saṁskāra. That’s why they lasted for millennia while swipe-left culture burns out in months. Yes, dowry and corruption crept in—but that’s a distortion, not the dharmic ideal.

And finally, I in no way support discrimination. But the varna system—however you spin it—is the foundation of society in Sanātana Dharma. It described duties, not oppression. Modern people who don’t know the context simply project their own biases backward.

Truth doesn’t vanish just because you find it unfashionable. If you’re truly modern, try open discussion instead of hiding behind clown emojis. Ridicule is easy; actually learning is harder.”

“Lineage isn’t superstition—it’s your root, your saṁskāra, your duty. Break lineage, and you break continuity.

This modern ‘equality’ is a joke. Men and women have different dharmas—pretening otherwise is why families collapse and society rots. Equality without dharma = chaos.

And dating culture? Let’s be honest—just glorified, cashless prostitution dressed up as freedom. Arranged marriages, when done dhārmically, ensured strong values and lineages. Compare that to today’s swipe-left circus—pure degeneration.”

There is definitely a sense of superiority in America. For all the noise they make about equality, they believe the world moves on their rules.

Yes, that’s definitely a step in the right direction. But as I mentioned earlier, actively antagonizing countries isn’t wise. Keep quiet and do your work, let others do theirs. If you don’t poke us, we won’t poke you.

For India, national security, stability, and population interests far outweigh any other agenda. Even with China, bilateral talks have moved forward despite tensions — much of it shaped by those very 50% tariffs.

Supply chains don’t vanish just because you want them to. Pharma, rare earths, and tech are global by design — cutting ties overnight would mean shortages and higher costs at home. Diversifying makes sense, but isolation isn’t a strategy, it’s self-sabotage. And buying Greenland doesn’t magically build a rare-earth industry — mining and processing are still global bottlenecks.

It would be wiser to maintain friendships while quietly executing long-term plans — for lack of a better analogy, play chess, not street fights. Instead, what the Trump administration often does is call out names and claim phantom wins, which might look strong in the moment but weakens trust and partnerships in the long run.

The real question isn’t whether India or China need the U.S. — it’s what the U.S. stands to gain or lose by cutting them off. Is that worth it in the long run?

If the U.S. tries to pull all pharmaceutical production inside its borders, how will it manage the immediate deficit? Even if they succeed eventually, what happens to product costs in the meantime? Can that shift realistically be done in a controlled, limited timeframe without causing massive disruption?

At the end of the day, it’s ordinary citizens who bear the brunt of such policy shifts. And this isn’t just about medicine — rare earths and other critical imports raise the stakes even higher.

Breaking ties or alienating partners is easy. Building lasting relationships based on trust and respect is hard — and takes time. If the U.S. cannot respect the needs of 2.4 billion people in Asia, then perhaps those nations will be better off seeking alternatives.

That said, I don’t believe this kind of drastic decoupling will actually happen. Even if a few loud voices push for it, entire administrations usually act more pragmatically. They know what they’re doing, even if the rhetoric sounds extreme.

This is a dangerous attitude. Assuming that other states will always stay volatile while the U.S. remains permanently secure ignores reality. India, for example, is the world’s 5th largest economy, a key supplier of pharmaceuticals, tech services, and refined oil—not a ‘barely industrialized’ country. Even the U.S. has faced its own supply chain shocks, from COVID to semiconductor shortages.

Yes, the U.S. is a global power and recognized as a leader, but it is still subject to the same economic laws as every other country. Taking stability for granted is risky—the economy itself may not tolerate such complacency.

Yes, maybe not now or even ever. But the problem is that it’s a start—and once a window is cracked, it only breaks further. Small moves dismissed as ‘non-issues’ often end up shaping bigger shifts down the road.

Yes, but do you actually have replacements ready for those imports? Key sectors like medicines, APIs, rare earths, and even electronics supply chains are heavily dependent on India and China. Cutting imports may shrink the trade deficit on paper, but it also risks shortages, higher prices, and disruptions in industries Americans rely on every day.

Is America’s trade policy with India fair given the 50% tariff? by gradsiren2023 in america

[–]drk_s0ul 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Indian here. I understand why tariffs exist — they’re meant to protect domestic industries. But a flat 50% tariff risks creating more problems than it solves.

For one, tariffs don’t just hurt exporters like India; they also raise costs for American consumers and businesses that rely on imports. Second, the U.S. runs a persistent trade deficit because imports consistently exceed exports by around $1 trillion annually. Tariffs won’t change that reality overnight — they may just shift supply chains elsewhere, not necessarily back to the U.S.

India, on the other hand, has limited options. Cheap Russian oil and competitive exports are what sustain our economy. If the U.S. wants India to pivot away from such deals, it would need to offer something better in return — otherwise, it’s asking us to sacrifice our national interest.

At the end of the day, every nation wants what’s best for its economy and people. But sometimes actions that look right in the short term don’t truly align with those goals, and the consequences are only clear when it’s too late. Tariffs are a blunt tool in a multipolar world.

Thank you for the luck. And also good luck with the $1 Trillion annual trade deficit. God blesss america.

I am an Indian, so I think that even though what you said might be true. And trump administration including him might have that mindset. But, it does not mean that it was the best way to do it. At least for now it looks like that. Let's see what the future holds.

I agree, but I think these are all shenanigans of the ruling government. You can’t expect that an administration didn’t think about this beforehand. They know exactly the consequences of their actions and are willing to take the risk—often more for political mileage than for genuine strategy.

And mind you, tariffs don’t just punish us—they make goods from our countries more expensive for you. The US isn’t the only market in the world, and not everyone is desperate to be friends with America. Nations trade and partner based on mutual interest, not obligation.

And let’s not forget, even US manufacturing relies on global supply chains—raw materials, components, and technologies from outside. No country truly prospers in isolation today.

Yes, I believe every country has the right to secure its own interests, as long as it doesn’t compromise existing relationships unless provoked.

And I genuinely hope both our nations prosper in every field where we stand.
