I hate how folks from my country, in general have a disposition of compliance towards institutions and reverence towards authority figures that makes them want to instinctually side with the institutions first
The level of obsequiousness & servility towards the status quo, towards authority figures, towards anyone they see as "powerful" is disgusting
Raghav Agrawal
Obedience is not a virtue imho. It's made out to be to hold & sustain power over people.
Mechanism to make questioning as a vice, as "badtameezi"
Then people end up devalue questioning, lacking motivation/desire/intent and the skill reflect on what they personally resonate with
Raghav Agrawal
Anytime you find an Indian rejecting a tradition/norm in some major way, experimenting, experiencing something unconventional there's imo less likelihood of them being a sadistic authoritarian and maybe open, creative and compassionate
Raghav Agrawal
Notion of excessive obedience as virtue & asking Qs as being disrespectful rather than expression of curiosity, exploration starts early on at home, school
They hate being asked to justify, clarify, explain or negotiate

They feel proud that they can "control" their family members via fear. That's a job well done for them, that's giving "ache sanskaar".
To be able to silence someone and control them via fear. That's indian parenting in a nutshell.

Vindictive, petty, overbearing & conformist who has the urge to dominate, control and demand obsequiousness the moment they get power : That's a typical Indian manager
Raghav Agrawal
Intolerance is at core of Indian society coz of it's parenting style
"Sanskaar" ~ techniques to make your family members submissive to dominate them
Ache sanskaar ~ how obsequious your family member is
Parents feel proud when their kid remains silent to their yelling/taunts
Raghav Agrawal
Out of one of the many possible factors, I think it also has to do with our parenting culture. The urge to dominate, control and demand obsequiousness that is like the default managerial style of most indian middle managers I think comes from the way we do our parenting as well
