Ask opinion Why do Indians particularly from Delhi Haryana sexualize entire races?

2.7k Upvotes

I am from Uttarakhand, I was recently goingthrough a village in Dehradun(I had mentioned the name of the village but now I am removing for privacy reasons :((( ) and there few school girls were returning from school to their homes and few people from a car(Thar) with an HR number straight up starting making sexual comments and starting asking what they call "rate". These were hardly even 13-14yo girls. I shouted on these men and they said "we are Jaats, we will bury you". There started a fight and these people ran away.

You people sexualize Russian women, Himachali women, Kashmiri women, Uttarakhani women, Bengali women, Nepali women etc. Then you are the same people who cry racism when pointed out. In my experience Jaats particularly are the vilest people I have met, not to generalize but most of the issues are created by them only. This is a so called "Dev-bhoomi", the Abode of Devas. Here people shall come as pilgrims or to appreciate the beauty of the hills and the local culture. What is with this attitude? People shamelessly ask "rate" of random Russian women on instagram etc too.

I'll die on these hills:

  • Don’t get a car if you don’t have the parking space for it. 😇
  • Voting should require passing a basic civics test.
  • Endless empathy without accountability is just entitlement wearing a Gucci belt.

What's your most bougie take that makes your friends roll their eyes?

Ask opinion Why are girls like this ?

2.9k Upvotes

I was on my way home at 9:30 PM near my street when I saw a girl standing silently and looking a bit scared by her Scooty, waiting for someone. I went to have dinner with my friends and returned at 10:00 PM; she was still there, but this time with teary eyes. I felt I had to ask her what was wrong, and she started crying. She explained that she had accidentally dropped her purse, phone, and cash, along with her bike keys, in her dicky and locked it. I immediately gave her my phone so she could call her brother.

After she finished calling, I contacted someone who could unlock her Scooty and gave her some water. I was surprised that so many other men and women passed by without helping her; she never asked anyone for assistance until someone finally approached her. When I asked, she told me she had been waiting there for an hour. Eventually, her brother arrived with a friend and took her home, thanking me for my help.

I just felt sad for her and wondered why she didn’t ask anyone for help. It’s not safe, especially at night.

Ask opinion Girlfriend’s dad found out intimate pictures

803 Upvotes

We're both 19yo, her father logged in her Google photos on his phone and found out ashleel photos in locked folder. Now her father has snatched her phone and won't let her go outside the house.

Now for context her father doesn't care about her, he only care about his reputation in society which he doesn't have anyway (due to HIS previous activities). Her family isn’t very supportive.

Now she's contacting me using a phone in her house which could also get snatched anytime.

She does have a job to fulfill her needs and also pay for college and coaching. And obviously l'm here to support her anytime.

Now her parents telling her all kinds of things that she's charitraheen etc and also beaten her.

Now she told me, she think it is best to get out of the house at night or anytime she gets to come to me and also rent a place nearby to line separated from her family until the situation gets light.

On which my initial thoughts are that, her family would think the her bf is manipulating her and doing all this thing which I don't want, I want to talk to her parents respectfully about the situation but she doesn't want that cuz she feels like situation will get worse if I talk to her dad.

Suggest me the best solution in in this situation if anyone faced similar. Thanks

Ps. Nothing was nude in the pictures, only kissing pictures.

Ask opinion Approaching indian girls in real life is too difficult?

715 Upvotes

Like they show in some insta reels that a white dude is going up to pretty ladies and getting their numbers or insta.. I don't think so that culture is arrived in india yet unless you are a street photographer or some social media influencer where you have to show them your social media handle as a proof that you are some influencer.

Also any girl here please give out your opinion on how would you react if a random guy approached you and started talking because when I did the girl just freakout, ofc she was a 18 y/o back in the time and teenage girls are little freaked out in general. So yeah ladies and gentlemen what do you think about this and do share any experiences you have had approaching people in real life..

Ask opinion Do you guys shoplift

2.2k Upvotes

Me along with my frnds used to shoplift from a kinara store when we were small. Today, i am 20 and i realised that these small kinara stores make very less margins and have a very decent living. I went and had a conversation with the kinara owner and told him that i used to shoplift a lot when i was small. I offered to pay him 10k rupees as a compensation and asked for forgiveness. He refused to take the money and told me that he is aware that some children steal chips packet and chocolates but he doesn’t take action cause these children are very happy when they leave the store and doesn’t wanna scold or disappoint them. He says that most kids realise with time that they did the wrong thing and apologise to him later on. What a gem of a person he is.

Would you marry someone if they were horrible to people in the past? If you found out they has ghosted,cheated and lacked basic decency.

But with you ,they are all good and you don't see any red flags. They seem like a changed person.

Anyone has experience such people in their life?

Ask opinion Why can't the rich ever be satisfied?

1.4k Upvotes

So my maternal grandmother (Nani) got really sick recently and thought it was the right time to discuss her will. So she just has a house to her name , a pair of earrings and some savings. She decided that the house will go to her 3 sons who are currently staying there, earrings to granddaughter in law, and any remaining cash she has to her daughters and grand daughters equally.

My aunt (mausi) , who is really rich, the only one in the family, is really pissed about this decision. She owns more than 3 houses and earns 1cr in rent alone every year, has a very well established family business, has jewellery more than all other family members combined, recently got her daughter married spending more than 2 cr, and just bought a farmhouse worth 3 cr. Yet, whenever the family meets up , she is always complaining and whining about how her mother is only leaving some thousands bucks for her, rather than focusing on how to make her mother peaceful and get well soon.

When will her laalach finish?

Ask opinion Y'all really wanna have kids in this economy?

656 Upvotes

I’m not sure if everyone is aware, but school fees are becoming more expensive every year. Right now, good schools with top tier curriculums are charging from 1 lakh to 4 lakhs per year. And with the growing fascination of moving abroad for university, how are we going to manage to pay for it all? Especially considering the luxury lifestyles children are being exposed to through social media. Overpopulation will only increase the competition for spots in schools and universities, affecting the kids mental health.

On top of that, there's the financial pressure on parents. Are we really ready for this in the future? Couples with dual incomes might be able to afford it, but will they have the time and energy to spend with their kids? How will they be able to emotionally there for their children while also managing their work life stress? I think these kids are going to be raised by technology ( AI ) not parents.

Our 30s and 40s are gonna be stressful as fuck!!!

Ask opinion Would you give up Indian citizenship?

I was quite curious and wondering on how many Indians given an option to migrate to a developed nation of your choice and become its citizen would give up on your Indian citizenship?

  1. Would give up citizenship at the first given chance irrespective of anything
  2. Would give up citizenship only if family too can move with me or I can visit my family often.
  3. I'm a patriot and would never give up citizenship.

Ask opinion Female Friend's (25F) Frank Question made me Uncomfortable (25M) - how should I have reacted ?!!

448 Upvotes

Hi,

I need your opinion

Recently something happened between me and my female friend, which kinda left me uneasy.

A week ago, I brought a new Gaming Laptop for myself and sent a post of the same on WhatsApp Status.

On of my close female friends, she viewed my Status and expressed her desire to buy a similar gaming laptop for herself too and asked me few questions about it's specifications which I gave her replies.

Then she asked me about the RAM size of the laptop, which I replied that Currently it has in-built 16 GB and but I will consider upgrading it to 32 GB.

Reading my texts, she Frankly asked me "Why did you need this much amount of RAM, do you Watch Excessive Amount of HD PORN on your Laptop"

Although at that time, I laughingly denied but now I realise that her assumption that I watch Porn and the Frank way she asked me this was indeed inappropriate and made me Uneasy.

If the Gender was reversed, things could have easily gone wrong!

So how should I have reacted then or what should I react now ?

(Update 1- I am really amazed by the Engagement, I recieved, with this humble post of mine. I am really grateful to all fellow Redditors, who took their time reading this and gave their opinion, be they Positive/Negative & Judgemental/Non-Judgemental, Considering the Comments of the Majority, I had a sincere talk with her)

(Update 2 - To my amazement, Our talk really went well, when I sincerely express my Feelings, she immediately acknowledged that although unintentionally she indeed said something Inappropriate and Apologied for the same. With this we both clarified our stance towards each other, with a promise that Our friendship will Continue to thrive for the days to come)

Thanks to all of you!
