Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Many a time I have heard allegations of Indians being indifferent ,indisciplined and uncivic minded. But thats the truth Indians ARE indifferent. They seldom care about the environment.They keep their houses clean but do not hesitate to dirty the environment around them whereas ut is just the reverse in the case of Westerners. We blare loudspeakers in temples and mosques .We do not even have the courtesy to give way while driving. We blare our horns as if we have the only right to rule the roads.We spit all over the place,we spoil public monuments.We tear books in libraries. We use our cell phones inside a theater during a concert ,movie etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I'm definitely none of those things, but then again, I was born and raised in the U.S. And certainly Hindu dharma does not encourage such behaviour to begin with. If Indians in general are doing this, it is not due to their religion, it is due to their ignorance and apathy towards everything around them.

Guest guest Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I don't act like that either, but I was also raised in the US. /images/graemlins/wink.gif When I went to India, I did see a lot of this sort of behavior. But, we can't confuse culture with religion. Also, when you say Indians, are you specifically referring to Hindus? Indians don't only comprise of Hindus. There are Indian non-Hindus that display such behavior as well. It doesn't have anything to do with Hinduism. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganeshprasad Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 Jai Ganesh the whole world is indifferent to environment, let us not forget US is the biggest pollutant of the world.this is not to furgive the gross mis behaviour of lot of the people of India in regards to cleanliness and noise polution, a little bit of education in this respect can easyly cure this problem. But how does one cure the pollution of the mind, the so called modern civilisation is hell bent on plundering the mother nature for it increasing material needs. there is no end to damge inflicted on it. If we were to adept Vadic values such crime could never happen, i mean we call earth our mother the cows also. Now if we beleive this in true sense would we be so cruel to them? Just as we would take care of our mother, we would also for the mother nature. Jai Shree Krishna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
