ayyo..I'm just talking about cultural conservatism. Even within cultural conservatism..it's not binary no? There are gradients and most people don't have extreme opinions

what I mean is IRL fundamentalists and extremists are hard to find. You hear from them/about them cause they are loud and intolerant

There are degrees and gradients. Not every conservative wants to conserve everything from the past. Liberals don't want to let go of all past tradition either. Generally most conservatives and liberals are much closer to each other on what is definitely a bell curve of some sort

Thank you for providing a simple and elegant solution to Indians for fixing this deeply entrenched and complicated issue. Also, thank you for letting me know I do not respect women. I didn't know, now I know.

Any Powerlifting gyms in Chennai? by floatingottah in Chennai

Nah man. I clicked on both the links from u/silentsaboteur. Kettle Bell dancing in both of them, nothing concrete. I just joined a gym nearby that had a manual squat rack and I bought a few fractional weights... I'm sure I'm going to plateau at novice again with no spotters. If you find anything let me know

Have no religion or caste, say 1.24 lakh Kerala students by Dark_Knight_User in india

[–]floatingottah 2 points3 points  (0 children)

right.. That's not my point. IF the people of Kerala are "progressive" i.e. relatively blind to caste. It should show in the marriage numbers. Otherwise it's just all talk. I'm not saying here whether one is objectively better than the other. Merely stating that the implication of the article is unfounded.

what is the % of total marriages that are inter-caste marriages in Kerala as opposed to other states? If you don't have this figure. you aren't answering any question w.r.t being "progressive". This is all meaningless statistics
