You and people like you are the reason behind the destruction of the very same diversity that you preach.

As a consequence of your actions,this world will be less diverse,eventually leading to all humans having the same shade and features thus rendering global travel without a cause.The only difference you will be noticing is the difference between landscapes and not the people.

I would absolutely hate to be living in such world,and that’s I’m happy to know that it will not happen during my life time.

Comment on Indian Parental Problems: When Your Intercultural or Interracial Relationship Is Suddenly an Issue by aptiwl81

Sorry to hear that you are going through this. I know the feeling. A few years ago, I was scouring the internet for any and all resources that would make me find peace. I’m an indian male married to a white american. We went through a lot of these issues when we were dating. Each situation is different, but the one thing I can say with certainty is that if you are strong and see it through, you will be happy that you tried and fought for love. The thing is, Indian culture loves drama. Absolutely loves it. Parents like to talk in extremes about getting sick, committing suicide, etc. I don’t know what it is, but hysteria is a common reaction for people not getting their own way. I may be wrong, but part of the difference comes from the lack of self-reliance in Indian culture vs. in the U.S. In India, a large part of who you are depends from “what your parents do”. In the U.S., that’s still somewhat true, but here, people are more likely to be judged based on what they achieve themselves rather than riding the coat tails of whatever family prestige or status they might have. Of course, there are exceptions that go both ways. The reason I mention this is b/c it helps to explain his parent’s reaction. Indians are used to having things done for them and not really having to get their hands dirty. So they idea of carving out your own future, trusting your own instincts, following your own heart and intuition–those things are severely lacking in Indian culture. Which is ironic, because the great religions and philosophies that come from India emphasize exactly that.

So, seriously, hang in there. A few years ago, I thought that things would never work out due to cultural differences. I got married two years ago, and though we run into the same cultural b.s. problems, we also are the happiest couple (Indian or American) that we know. You have one life, don’t waste it following other people’s idea of what you should and shouldn’t do.

I just came across this chain. I am currently devastated in my current heart break. I have found my perfect match. My love has been in the U.S. for the last 2 years. We are best friends and we have brought out the best in each other. He never imagined of meeting a spanish american woman and that finding the common values we have for family and so much more. My family respects him and adores him as a match for me. Several months ago he mentioned to his family regarding me. They are not happy. Just last month he went back to India to visit. And he came back with no good news. His family has made him feel so guilty. His father’s blood pressure was very high and apparently his mother made herself sick to her stomach. She went as far as accusing him…that if his fathers condition was to get worse and he was to die, she would blame him and it would be his fault. They said they are ok with one less son. I am so shocked. Considering that their older daughter who has been deceased for 3 years was cursed verbally when they denied her true love…and the young man was Indian. He has pushed me to end the relationship because he could not. He says he wants to stay my best friend for the rest of our lives. In my heart I can’t keep such a relationship when we are in love. I feel like being persistent and pursuing him. I don’t want to give up. I don’t break so easily. But after reading the above posting…I feel know that I may eventually break down. In my Spanish culture family is everything and so is the blessings.
What to do?

Comment on From Atheist to Hindu? Religion and My Intercultural Marriage by VedicAtheist

VedicAtheist — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 01:17:07 +0000

One may well read the wiki entry on “Hindu Philosophy” and about the orthodox vedic (‘hindu’) schools of thought. The Samkhya (actually sankhya), Purva Mimansha, Yoga and Nyaya were all kuls that were Atheistic and clearly denied the existence of Ishwara (God)

One may read directly the Rig Veda 2nd Mandala, which is an exposition on atheism. Also the real Samkhya Karika is now made available on the net, as are the works of the mimansha sage Jamini (Jamini Sutra), Kapil’s works, Sankhya Sutra, Akshapeda Gautama’s Nayaya Sutra, etc are also now readily accessible. Sadly though, to really understand knowledge of sanskrit is essential as most of the translations are inaccurate at best, (mostly spurious). Reading directly in sankrit has been totally worth it for me atleast.

I think these texts may well be a good read for even the most analytical.

(Notes-
Sanskrit of Sankhya = Numbers, Mimansha = Inquiry, Yoga = logical conjunction of 2 facts, Nyaya = Logic, and SUTRA is ‘a chain or THREAD of logic. Sanskrit of sutra = thread) (Nyaya sutra thus means: the “the logic of logic”!)

Also: Buddhists were also atheists, but were considered Nastik as they had no kul Sutra. So were the charwakas, who were another nastik atheist sect.

Comment on Wearing Sindoor as a White Woman by Pinky

Pinky — Fri, 13 Jan 2012 18:54:38 +0000

There is no harm if someone wears sindoor or garland etc. if it makes them feel happily married or fertile or whatever. It is absolutely respectable. This forum is not about the ususal marriage rituals which you do only once like garland exchange etc. The discussion is about the necessity of carrying marriage symbol like sindoor to symbolise fertility etc. and I think its a personal choice.

The only unfair and narrowmindedness is when people try to make it mandatory for women who don’t feel the need for it. Anybody who isn’t ignorant would agree that this happens in many parts of India that married women who are not wearing it are looked down by conservative society. I also like to see the positive side of everything and judge any woman based on her individual self rather than if she wears something which symbolizes something else, for me that makes no difference.

I wish I had found this website couple of months earlier when I broke the news of having an American boyfriend and possibility of marriage sometime in future with him, and all hell broke loose. Sadly, my dad and I have never shared a very close relationship.I can relate so well to Pinki’s “divorce the parents” line…lolll…but as my boyfriend puts it, No matter How shitty or whatever your family is, they are your family. Though I wish my dad could talk and think like a mature adult instead of being in either a “ignoring my presence” mood or “criticizing everything I have done in life” mood.

Good luck to Gorigal, Aditya and rest of the lucky/ unlucky in love people

Comment on Words on Hindostan – Part One by Darth Veda

Darth Veda — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 11:14:22 +0000

Adithya no.2, there is a bit of confusion here. The caste system is created by people and not the religion. It’s not a part of hinduism although hindus have been guilty of developing it in this way, if you get what I mean. This type of thinking pervades all societies, without being so structured. What’s written in the books and how it’s applied can be 2 different things. Higher caste hindus (and other is other countries) developed a status quo to make sure that their position was kept safe.

The Varnas that you refer to was a social order that has held true in most capitalist markets or civilised empires such as the Roman and Mughal ones. The holy men have been conisdered to have links with the beyond, the ruling class and soldiers are the wealthiest, then come most of society, and right at the bottom rung are servants and toilet cleaners.

I saw a documentary recently about poor brahmins cleaning toliets wo this does happen. The caste system is not racist, it’s feudal.

Please also look into the Aryan Invasian Theory, as I believe this has been disproven.
