繼前兩期對印度現況的尖銳批判後，印裔加拿大投資顧問 賈揚特·班達里（Jayant Bhandari），在這段超過40分鐘的完整演講中，展開一場前所未有的文化自剖。他不僅坦率揭露自己童年在印度的創傷經歷，更將批判延伸至整個社會結構與價值體系。 在他的論述中，公平、正義、信任、同情、榮譽、忠誠，甚至「真相」本身，都是印度社會中難以落地的抽象概念。他進一步指出，問題根源不只在制度與治理，更深植於文化與思維方式中。他甚至提出驚人觀點，認為印度文明對現代制度的吸收出現了結構性障礙，與教育、智識與社會心理層面息息相關。 這是一位深諳印度內情者的痛切之語，也是一場對「文化與現代性衝突」的極端檢視。無論你同意與否，這場講演都可能讓你重新思考我們對印度、對文化與制度的理解。你準備好接受這場挑戰了嗎？

<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>

自从我离开印度以来的33年里，我去过近100个国家，其中很多国家我都去过很多次。在我看来，这让我对社会有了新的认识。嗯，印度，也就是我今天要讨论的，是第三世界的鼻祖。第三世界拥有地球上三分之二的人口。印度有8亿人，相当于北美和27个欧盟国家的人口总和。他们依靠政府的免费粮食。
印度五岁以下儿童中有三分之一发育迟缓，这是一个夸张的数字，因为实际数字要高得多，一个低个位数。嗯，印度人可能拥有物质资源，即使在他们当中，我也从未见过一个印度人不经常被缺乏信任的担忧所困扰。他不能信任他的家人，不能信任他的朋友，不能信任机构。印度是一个名副其实的地狱。我将解释印度文化是如何变成癌症的，如何扭曲和歪曲西方提供的一切，这具有重大意义。对西方的影响，嗯，因为移民不断涌入，我将在我的演讲中概述印度的生活结构或缺乏这种结构，这使得印度的生活成为一种持续不断的苦差事，充斥着无时无刻的剥削和虐待。我小时候的经历是，强权即公理，一切都是基础，绝对一切动物本能潜移默化地根植于我们心中，权力总是被滥用，那些掌权者认为他们拥有上帝赋予的剥削、支配和贬低他人的权利。权威的展示是如此极端，以至于任何质疑，即使是你问你的老师一个简单的问题，或者期望当权者履行职责，都会导致立即的报复。那些当权者在那个年代，甚至在今天更是如此，嗯，这就是我稍后要谈到的，印度是如何随着时间的推移而恶化的，他们认为他们的职位不是为了服务他人，这是不可避免的。没有任何政府人员或当权者，即使是在私营部门，认为他在那里是为了服务他人，提供他认为他能得到的服务。他身居那个位置是为了谋取私利，无论是通过贿赂，嗯，在那个国家无处不在，他们无耻地要求虐待狂，这是对人性的扭曲，追求崇敬，他们想让你在他们面前匍匐，在印度，唯一一个尊重他们的人是那个在等级制度中接受较低从属地位的人，我今年 56 岁了，我从来没有见过印度当权者主动解决他应该负责的问题的情况，当我在印度上大学的时候，一个男孩，一个小男孩，一个男孩被看门人鸡奸和强奸，我向当局报告了这件事，我带着这个男孩去了警察局和大学官员那里，没有人，没有一个人站出来采取行动，这是非常直接的事情，这是他们有权采取行动的事情，事实上，当局和同学们威胁我说，如果我继续追究此事，将会产生严重后果，这就是让我困惑的地方，即使现在我在理智上理解了，但在情感上我不明白，这让我很困惑，让我无比沮丧的是，在我刚刚描述的情况中，即使我腐败了，嗯，通过正式登记罪犯，我实际上也会获得一种充实灵魂的体验，因为我知道我不是，我不会收受贿赂，而且我知道不会有任何关系。印度的运作依赖于两种燃料：腐败和关系。嗯，为什么他们不登记这个案子？印度当局绝对不会采取任何行动，除非涉及物质奖励、金钱或性，否则他们甚至不会动一根手指。他们的冷漠是一个无底洞。现在的问题是，在那种文化中，你的工作被当权者视为庸才。做好你的工作意味着你就是这样，你是一个意志薄弱的人，你不成熟，如果你能摆脱你的责任，你在那种文化中被认为是成熟的。做正确的事没有自豪感或荣誉感，在那个社会里没有自豪感和荣誉感的概念，但情况更进一步，更进一步，如果你叫一个水管工来修理，他来了，他会认为不弄乱就走是有失身份的，他会故意把工作做得粗制滥造。即使他不需要花更多时间就能做得更好，为什么会发生这种情况呢？这是一个复杂的网络，由傲慢、自负、文明、种姓主义、部落主义、性别歧视、僵化的行为准则、教条和奇思妙想组成，驱使他们做事，使他们情绪低落，无法做出理性或道德的决定。公平，现在这些都是欧洲概念，你认为这些是你苍穹的一部分吗？它们不是，像公平、正义、信任、同情和公正这样的概念是这些概念对印度人来说完全陌生，他们无法区分是非对错，他们根本无法区分什么是对什么是错，他们没有你认为是自然存在的一部分的西方价值观。他们不是。即使做正确的事情，实现公平和正义不需要付出任何代价，印度人也漠不关心。我甚至会说，如果他们能够做到，如果他们能够在不付出任何个人代价的情况下实现公平和正义，他们仍然宁愿不做，因为他们认为做正确的事情是软弱的表现。我想任何一个每天花费不到50美元去过印度的人都会明白我的意思。如果你每天花费500美元，你永远不会理解印度。我们从小就被灌输要顺从的思想。这种灌输是如此深刻，以至于印度人甚至称呼那些比他们稍高的人为“先生”。他们的行为往往是监视性的、诡辩的和奉承的，即使他们已经在西方国家生活多年，他们仍然称呼你为“先生”。因为这就是他们的方式。印度人根深蒂固地秉持着顺从的观念，但你永远不应该把他们称呼你为“先生”当作尊重的象征，因为尊重。尊重是另一个对印度人来说很陌生的概念。当他们称呼你为“先生”时，这反映了他们在互动中将你视为更强者的观点，这与他们“强权即公理”的思维模式相一致。一旦你在这个体系中处于弱势，他们就会贬低你。在印度的体系中，你的等级要么高，要么低。你要么是施虐者，要么是被施虐者。在那个社会，实现平等是不可能的。一旦一个人在这个国家生活了一段时间，他很快就会从经验中意识到，说“请”和“谢谢”是软弱的表现，是那些想要贬低自己的人的专属。印度人无法维持英国人建立的制度。这些制度已经被彻底掏空和腐蚀，它们已经变得掠夺成性。宪法和法律在那个国家毫无价值。驱动这些制度的唯一力量是贿赂和关系。你去见法官，你贿赂警察，然后……官僚在法庭上，法官就在法官面前，这就是那个国家公开行贿的方式，嗯，级别越高，唯一改变的就是贿赂的数量，嗯，如果你去法庭，嗯，贿赂的程度就会改变，这是那个国家唯一重要的事情，街头智慧，从文化上讲，街头智慧在那个国家受到高度重视，那些设法逃避法律制裁的罪犯会受到社会赞扬，人们会在社交场合赞扬那些逃避法律制裁的罪犯，我的一个近亲，充满自豪地告诉我，他永远不会支付他租的房子的租金，他宣称他的尸体会离开房子，而这确实是发生的事情，那个国家缺乏理性，嗯，当有人被骗时，那个国家没有信任，他很少向骗子寻求正义，相反，他会合理化他对他人的欺骗，男人虐待女人，女人虐待儿童，那个国家的女人没有无辜，女人虐待儿童，儿童虐待动物，动物攻击他们攻击的任何人高种姓的人会虐待低种姓的人吗？但这并非线性单向的，从高种姓到低种姓。
因为低种姓的人像鬣狗一样争斗，以确定哪个低种姓群体比其他低种姓群体更高，这是一个永无止境的循环。
非理性和武断的循环，人们公开撒谎，每个人都知道每个人都在撒谎，但无论如何，每个人都在撒谎。大多数人不会感到认知失调，因为他们无法区分真假。我稍后会解释，当我搬到英国时，他们对自己的谎言深信不疑，以至于无法区分神话和现实、事实和虚构。我知道这听起来很反乌托邦，一些从未去过印度的人可能会摇头，认为这不可能是真的，但我无法想象印度的情况。
乔治·奥威尔实际上出生在印度，顺便说一下，那个国家的对话完全是为了个人利益，坚定地相信零和博弈，或者实际上他们更喜欢……输赢游戏如果你在交易中没有输，他们会感觉不好，文化中存在着强烈的虐待狂元素，那些与你最亲近的人会变成你最大的敌人，那个国家的每个人都在他的财产周围建造坚固的高墙，这是你建造时做的第一件事，购买房产时要充分意识到，如果给他一个，他的邻居会侵占他的土地如果你睡觉时没有在你的土地上设置围栏，第二天早上你的土地就会被侵占，而你对此无能为力。当我开始在英国生活时，我花了很多年才明白为什么西方人不做同样的事情。忠诚和荣誉的概念在这个国家明显缺失。谈话围绕着背后说人坏话，闲聊朋友，讨论名人，交换迷信和对其他群体的敌意。印度教徒讨厌穆斯林，穆斯林讨厌印度教徒，锡克教徒对印度教徒怀有巨大的敌意。然而，这些群体内部总是争斗，让每个人都分裂开来。然而，正是对其他群体的仇恨表面上将他们团结在一起。当我第一次去英国旅行时，我很惊讶地发现，动物并不怕我，也不攻击人。我很惊讶，那些当权者多年来并不期望人们表现出虔诚或敬畏，甚至在今天，有时当我需要有人做他的工作时，我也会感到不安。他确实这么做了，我觉得我没有尽到自己的责任，向他行贿，这就是你在那个社会中成长的方式，我怀疑我是否将真理和 tr 的概念与忠诚和荣誉的概念联系起来，并了解它们的深层含义，直到我开始，直到我在英国生活了一年，我花了很长时间才开始理解这些概念的深层含义，当时我在曼彻斯特的一家办公室工作，那段时间有人告诉我，在宣传我负责的组织时不要夸大其词，在我夏天的时候，我生平第一次开始看到人们想要说真话，只是为了说真话，我当然一直都知道“真理”这个词，但我第一次开始掌握它的本质，现在奇怪的是，在印度非常不寻常的是我的祖父和我的父亲，他们在财务方面非常诚实，并且非常自尊，嗯，我们的家庭相当富裕，在政治上也有很好的人脉，但这只让我了解印度 25% 的堕落和堕落，我根本无法理解了解这个国家其他的真实情况，因为我不是女人，不是来自底层，也不住在贫民窟，也没有像80%到90%的印度人那样被警察强奸和虐待。问题是，如果你邀请一个了解印度社会的人，一个经历过25%以上印度贫困和堕落的人，他的大脑会被他所经历的一切所摧毁，无法沟通。印度人当然无法区分堕落和非堕落。所以，理解印度的基本原则是：这是一个不道德、不理性、缺乏价值观的社会。你试图灌输的任何价值观都会像鸭子背上的水一样消失。在我的一生中，我看到印度社会不断恶化。基督教传教士和欧洲殖民者在印度灌输给印度人的优雅和文明，正在缓慢但稳步地被侵蚀。我清楚地记得我第一天出国的情景，我飞到伦敦，然后坐火车去曼彻斯特，我在火车外面看到的景象让我很沮丧，我看到了看起来很单调的房子，它们太干净了，不符合我的口味，非常干净的水道和非常干净的空气，火车上没有喧嚣，火车的平静让我感到迷失方向和沮丧，我不知道如何应对这种没有持续冲击我感官的情况，随着时间的推移，嗯，在西方生活，我意识到对于大多数移民来说，坐在这种平静、和平、缺乏噪音、空气中没有气味的环境中会导致生存危机和一种强迫性的需求，无论他们搬到哪里，都要重建印度，这就是为什么当你即使你去了价值百万美元的房子，在西方社会的贫民窟里，印度人和其他第三世界人会面对熟悉的气味、噪音和混乱，他们迫切地需要那些气味和混乱，以及持续的喧嚣，他们创造了永无止境的情绪化当我在曼彻斯特商学院的时候，西方社会的贫民窟里充满了无谓的冲突和知识分子的近亲繁殖，嗯，我们被给予了嗯，电子钥匙链，以便我们一天24小时随时进入大学，嗯，我们，和我交谈过的移民同胞，我们总是想知道英国人是否真的愚蠢到信任我们，这对我们来说太不寻常了，完全不寻常，然而，这些移民中的大多数人永远不会试图理解信任和感激的情感意义，更糟糕的是，随着时间的推移，他们发现抱怨往往会带来物质利益，这是多元文化西方唯一真正关心的事情，嗯，我和我的一个朋友曾经在曼彻斯特开车的时候，我的朋友喝多了，闯了红灯，我们被警察拦了下来。我完全被警察对待我们和对待我朋友的尊重所震惊。在印度，警察会羞辱和剥削甚至那些与此事无关的乘客。虐待和剥削，呃，弱者过去是，现在仍然是印度的一种生活方式，当然，因为我的朋友酒量很高，他被捕了。逮捕他的警察说，与其把我扔在高速公路上，他很乐意载我去警察局，呃，如果我想做点别的事情，我答应了，我跟你一起去，所以我坐在车里警察旁边。那时我已经在英国生活了一年，但我的情绪非常激动。
在去警察局的路上，我和这个警察聊了聊，同样的情况在印度会怎样？呃，虐待、剥削和羞辱的循环，他们会对司机施加这种循环。乘客们，呃，那些日子，我住在曼彻斯特一个犯罪率很高的地区，我当时没钱，呃，警察会在深夜跟踪我，呃，他们只是在我走路的时候跟踪我，嗯，我问了那个开车送我去警察局的警察，为什么他们从不拦下我问我在做什么，他告诉我，他们跟踪我是为了确保我的安全，但更重要的是，他们无权在没有正当理由的情况下拦下我，这是我生平第一次开始理解英国人对个人空间的尊重。我当时的意图不是操纵警察，而是在交了朋友之后，呃，他让我的朋友坐了一两个小时清醒过来，没有起诉他，就让我们走了，嗯，嗯，一段时间后，我开始意识到，虽然英国的掌权者经常灵活地适用法律，考虑到法律背后的精神，我想警察意识到我们是正派人，他真的不想再这样做了，嗯，在印度，每一条法律被用作
剥削和掠夺的工具，没有例外。现在我很快会详细说明
西方对印度的积极贡献
是如何被扭曲的，嗯，所以我们经常谈论繁荣和教育将如何
真正造福这些贫穷的国家，这是一个神话，是谬误，它
根本行不通，我会进一步阐述这一点，但问题在于，你如何
改变这些人根深蒂固的非理性和不道德
你如何去除他们那套奇幻思维的运作方式，并
将理性思维植入他们的头脑中？由于英国人不再掌权，
情况持续恶化，统计数据无法在
印度人的心理中产生共鸣。印度人没有灰色地带，一切都被认为是
非黑即白的，缺乏对细微差别的欣赏。这种缺乏比例原则
导致他们优柔寡断，无法评估事物的价值，最终，不受约束的情绪
左右着他们的生活，即使是我所拥有的那些聪明人
也一样，属于同样的思维模式。当我搬到英国时，重新调整我的思维，使其符合理性、道德和西方价值观对我来说是一项艰巨的任务。在印度，我曾就读于一所顶尖的工程学院，并认为自己非常有创造力、果断且脚踏实地。但当我开始亲眼目睹曼彻斯特的社交互动以及英国人的行为时，我开始意识到，即使是杂货店的经营者也比我更有信心，也更果断。我意识到我的思绪被混乱的思维和相互冲突的动机所笼罩，这些动机是我从小就被灌输的，缺乏原则性基础的规则也让我难以理解。想象一下，在这种思维下工作会是什么样子。想象一下，在印度的成长经历会给你带来多少层层混乱的世界观、行为模式和不诚实的阴谋倾向。尽管我本意是好的，但我还是花了几十年的时间，而不是几年的时间，即使我相信某件事是好的，它通常仍然是好的。即使一个信念仍然是好的，我仍然认为它通常仍然是基于非理性的。或者说是神奇的思维，呃，原则，呃，如果可以的话，你把这些称为
原则，我意识到并试图改变的一个错误信念，与其他根深蒂固的信念和行为模式相冲突，这是一个艰难的
任务，就像试图改变我信念城堡中的一块破砖
和世界观，嗯，如果不这样做，整个结构就会不稳定
然而，随着时间的推移和持续的努力，我注意到我的睡眠质量开始提高，
并且尽管面临严重的经济危机和经常挨饿，我的身体也开始发生变化，
笼罩着我思绪的阴云开始消散，一种令人安心的感觉开始消散，我周围的人
都在支持我，这种感觉无比强大非常有帮助，现在记住，在印度，你的
家人和朋友是你最大的敌人，嗯
嗯，奇怪的是，困扰我的慢性压力开始消退了。嗯，印度仍然是地球上压力最大的国家之一，大多数第三世界国家都是，嗯
我祖母告诉我两件事，嗯，我认为它们非常
落后，我已经改变了看法，开始认同她的想法。她
认为有些人需要处于饥饿的边缘，因为如果
给予更多，他们就会制造问题。尽管她是我认识的最
平等的人之一，和她的司机和泰勒交朋友，她会
提醒我，并非每个人都应该有座位，除非他真正适合。人权是一个西方概念，印度人无法理解。他们
不理解个人空间和对个人的尊重，这与他们谈论权利，嗯，即使是消极的
权利，我不是在谈论积极的权利，即使是消极的权利也只会导致混乱。他们失败了。区分消极权利和积极权利。当人们学习消极权利时，他们会怎么做？因为要记住，底层的根基是非理性、不道德和价值观的缺失。他们只收集消极权利中利己的部分。例如，当人们学习财产权时，他们从中得到了什么？他们学会了保护自己的财产，却没有认识到其他女性的权利。当女性被教导强奸是一种侵犯时，她们开始将强奸视为一切，并将其用作剥削男性的工具。如今，印度大多数强奸案都是假的。因为随着印度人逐渐接触到权利的概念，他们的思想开始转变，不再关注他们的余生，而是接受余生是命运的安排，开始接受受害者的心态。这就是我祖母的由来。所以，印度人的问题就在于此。在道德、理性、因果关系和其他西方价值观的基础建立之前，印度人无法学到任何好的东西。在他们看来，你怎么能做好这份工作？我不知道
如果没有这些基础，你怎么能做到？西方文明的成果
只会把他们的享乐主义倾向变成
更恶毒的东西。每一个文明的成果，教育
西方服饰，繁荣，西方制度在印度被扭曲了。剩下的，英国留下的制度
已经被掏空，变成了纯粹的掠夺者和
虐待狂。之所以发生这种情况，是因为在后英属印度，掌权者崇尚价格
权宜之计和资源获取。记住，他们的本能就是金钱和性。他们对
想法不感兴趣。他们对任何精神层面的东西都不感兴趣。嗯，他们认为获取
资源是他们生活的唯一目的。如今，印度甚至缺乏欧洲人到来之前那种模糊的
法治。这就是为什么在我看来
当印度崩溃时，它会崩溃，一个类似塔利班的
体制会在印度从灰烬中出现，这将是对印度现状的
改进。我将继续讨论如何
西方文明赋予印度的美好事物被扭曲了。
呃，没有西方传教士，基督教就被……印度人的迷信和巫术滋养，嗯，变成了巫毒。嗯，由于印度人对抽象思维缺乏兴趣，语法对他们来说毫无用处。大多数人都学英语。
呃，西方教育和西方服饰纯粹是出于一种货物崇拜的心态。他们关注的是……获得证书，穿上西方服装，并认为这就是一切。证书背后的技能。
嗯，他们完全没有将教育视为通往智力成长的途径，或者成为更好人类的手段。嗯，现在，如果教育应用于非理性的头脑，会发生什么呢？这种头脑通过巫术思维来处理……信息。嗯，教育变成了负担，沉重的负担，它……加重了你的思想负担，使受过教育的印度人比未受过教育的印度人更糟糕。
他们就像僵硬的齿轮一样运转。那些不理解自身行为意义和价值的齿轮，在复杂的社会中，他们只是些微小的妥协，或许
难以追踪，却会导致可怕的后果。我担心为什么那些
787 Max 客机从天而降，为什么最近森林大火如此频繁。我
想知道发生了什么？这背后的原因是什么？经济学中有一个概念叫
中等收入陷阱，我更愿意把印度的情况称为低收入陷阱。它
会一直存在，而且会随着时间的推移而恶化。现在，我们来谈谈另一个西方概念。繁荣，呃，繁荣
带来了繁荣，却没有带来社会和平。嗯，它并没有成为印度人
智力或精神成长的平台。他们也不理解舒适的概念，所以他们不能把钱花在舒适上，他们建造华而不实的房子，只是为了向别人炫耀，并控制那些比他们弱小的人。更糟糕的是，近几十年来，西方科技进步带来的轻松繁荣，抑制了人们对理性和道德的追求。所以现在印度人实际上变得越来越不理性，越来越不道德，越来越不道德，因为他们根本不需要。他们头脑中的因果关系正在以另一种方式运作。社交媒体充当着交换神话和迷信的平台。如今，印度比我小时候更加根深蒂固地沉浸在魔幻的思维和迷信之中。西方文明的另一个产物是那些被提升到更高地位的印度人变得傲慢和虐待狂。这种行为并非源于他们想要掩盖自己的无能和心理弱点，而更多的是源于一种真正的信念，即傲慢和虐待狂定义了权力和阶级。想想看，他们认为傲慢和虐待狂是此外，优雅也是一种应对根深蒂固的自卑感的机制，我之前说过，呃，对弱势群体持续不断的残酷对待，呃，那些处于弱势地位的人，每个人在某个时刻都会变得弱势，呃，呃，财富，当印度人看待西方社会时，当
他们看着财富，财富就催眠了他们，呃，他们无法理解
这种马戏团式成功的基础，因为他们只对外表感兴趣，这就是他们所能理解的全部。当他们看待西方时，他们把西化等同于
好莱坞的刻板印象：女孩穿短衣、滥交、酗酒、吸毒、炫耀财富，以及普遍的英雄主义生活方式。
他们在自己的灵魂中看到了他们灵魂想要看到的东西。
好莱坞印度人看到的是他们前殖民时期、前维多利亚时代、道德享乐主义文化的反映。
所以，我的演讲到此结束。这就是整个故事的最终结局。
这个结论，嗯，理解印度人思想的根本问题是，它是非理性和不道德的，它不持有任何西方价值观，比如他们珍视的荣誉和忠诚。他们不理解真理的概念。他们认为宇宙是任意的，并沉迷于幻想。他们无法超越当下去思考。这就是动物本能的作用。当你没有文明价值观时，动物本能就会发挥作用。他们无法超越性和金钱去思考。嗯，但这应该是意料之中的。这就是为什么我认为事情无法改变存在问题。这就是。一个智商只有77的社会会发生什么。低智商的人在心理上无法持有任何价值观。受动物本能和权宜之计驱使。他们把一切都合理化，以服务于他们的物质主义和自私目的。赋予他们的每一种西方价值观都被歪曲、扭曲和腐化，以达到这些目的，也就是物质主义。嗯，他们对荣誉、信仰、灵性、忠诚、真理或嗯，或者任何这些都不感兴趣。西方价值观
他们没有十诫。西方人认为十诫只是存在于自然界中。文明并不存在于自然界中。他们如此不了解这些价值观，以至于即使这些价值观是被强加给他们的，他们也对这些价值观视而不见。即使这些价值观是被强加给他们的，他们也无能为力。除了理解来自印度和其他第三世界国家的移民将如何影响西方之外，你们对此无能为力。女士们，先生们，非常感谢你们。

Over the last 33 years since I first left India I have traveled to almost 100 countries and to many of them repeatedly um this in my view has given me a perspective on societies uh India which is what I'm here to talk about today is the grandfather of the third world the third world has uh two out of three human beings on the planet 800 million people in India in India which is equivalent to the combined population of North America and 27 nations of European Union rely on free grains from the government
onethird of Indian children below the age of five are stunted and that's an exaggerated figure in the sense that the number is actually much higher a low singledigit um Indian Indians might have the material resources even among them I have never met one never met one Indian who is not constantly plagued by concerns stemming from lack of trust he cannot trust his family he cannot trust his friends he cannot trust the institutions india is a veritable hellhole i will explain how Indian
culture has become cancerous warping and perverting everything that that the west has
provided it this has significant implications um for the west because immigrants keep pouring in i will in my talk outline the structure or lack thereof that renders life in India a constant drudgery filled with momentto- moment exploitation and abuses as a child my experiences was one where might is right underpinned everything absolutely everything animalistic instincts sublim subliminally were hardwired into us power was invariably abused with those in control thinking that they had the god-given right to
exploit dominate and dehumanize others the display of authority was so extreme that any questioning even you asked your teacher a simple question or or expecting those in authority to perform their duties led to immediate retribution those in authorities those days and even more today and uh that's what I'm going to come to later how India is worsening with time they believed that their positions were not for serving others that's invariably the case no government person or person in authority even in private sector thinks that he's there to serve other people to provide a service he thinks he gets he's in that position for personal gain whether through bribery which is uh omnipresent in that country and shamelessly asked for uh sadisma which is a perversion of human character and pursuit of reverence they want you to prostrate in front of them the authorities in in the country the only person who shows respect in India is the one and was the one who had who accepts a lower subservient position in life in the hierarchy i have never I'm 56 years old i have never witnessed a situation in
India where someone in authority took the initiative to address a problem he was responsible for when I was at the university in India a boy a young boy a male boy was sodomized and raped by the janitors i reported the man matter to the authorities i went I took this boy to the police and to the university officials no one not one person stepped forward to take an action something that was very straightforward something that was within their powers to take actions on in fact the authorities and the fellow students threatened me with grave consequences if I pursued the matter further now this is what confuses me even now i understand it intellectually but emotionally I don't get it it confuses me and frustrates me no end that in a situation I just described where even if I were corrupt um I would actually find a soulenriching experience by booking a culprit properly because I knew I wasn't I wouldn't be getting bribes and I knew that there wouldn't be any connections involved india operates on two fuels corruption and connection um why did they not book that case indian authorities would do absolutely nothing not even lift a finger unless there's a material reward money or sex involved their apathy is a bottomless pit now here is the problem doing your job in that culture is seen as epheminite by those in authority doing your job means that you are the this you are a weak-minded person you are not mature if you can shoke from your responsibilities you are considered a mature in that culture there's no pride or honor in doing what is right there's no concept of pride and honor in that society but it goes a bit further quite a bit further if you call a plumber for repairs he comes he will see it beneath him to leave without creating a mess he will deliberately do a shoddy job even if it would not have taken him more time to do a better job why does this happen a complex web of arrogance egotism civility castism tribalism sexism rigid dos and don'ts dogmas and magical thinking drives what they do leaving them emotionally constipated and incapable of making a rational or moral decision fairness now these are all European concepts you think that these are parts of you firmament they aren't the the concepts like fairness justice trust empathy and impartiality are completely alien concepts to the Indian mind they cannot differentiate between right and wrong they can't simply can't differentiate between what is right and wrong they do not have the concepts the western value concepts that you think are a part of the natural existence they aren't indians are indifferent even when there is no cost involved in doing the right thing in delivering fairness or justice i would go as far as by saying that if they could do if they could deliver fairness and justice without any personal cost they would still prefer not to do it because they see doing the right thing as a sign of weakness i guess anyone who has been to India on a budget of less than $50 a day would recognize what I'm saying here if you spend $500 a day you will never understand India we were as growing up indoctrinated to be submissive the indoctrination is so profound that Indians address even those slightly above them in authority as sir their behavior tends to tends to be
survileentic sophentic and ingratiating and they call you sir even after they have moved through the western countries for years because that's how deep the hardwiring of submissiveness in among Indians but this you should never ever take they're calling you as sir as a sign of respect because respect Respect is another concept that is alien to Indians when they call you sir it reflects their view of you as a stronger person in the interaction consistent their consistent with their mindset of might is right they will demean you the moment you are in a weaker position in this system in the system of India you are either higher or lower in the pecking order you're either an abuser or the abused achieving equality is impossible in that society once a person has started living in that country for a while he soon realizes from experience that saying please and thank you are signs of weaknesses and reserved for those who wish to demean themselves indians cannot maintain the institutions established by the British these institutions have been completely hollowed out and corrupted they have become
predatory the constitutions and laws hold no value in that country the only forces driving these institutions are bribes and connections you go to go in front of a
judge and you bribe policemen and the bureaucrats in the judge in the court right in front of the judge that's how openly bribe is conducted in that country um the higher you go the only thing that changes is the quantum of bribes uh if you go to the court uh the the level of bribe changes that's the only thing that matters in that country street smarts culturally street smartness is highly valued in that country criminals who managed to evade justice are socially celebrated people will in social cuh settings praise those people who were criminal and evaded justice a a close relative of mine brimming with pride um once told me that he would never pay the rent for the house he had rented he declared that his his dead body will would leave the property and that's what actually happened rationality is is absent in that country um when someone is cheated and trust is nowhere in that country he rarely seeks justice against the cheater rarely instead he rationalizes his cheating of others men abuse women women abuse children women are no innocent in that country women abuse children children abuse animals animals attack whosoever they can higher cast individuals abuse lower cast individuals but then it's not a linear one-way higher cast to lower cast
issue either because lowercast people fight like hyenas to determine which of those lower cast groups is higher than the other lower cast group it is a perpetual cycle of
irrationality and arbitrariness people lie openly everyone knows everyone lies but everyone lies anyway most people feel no cognitive dissonance because they cannot
distinguish between truth and falsehood and I'm going to come to it in a bit explaining that it was the meaning of truth was a revelation to me when when I moved to the United Kingdom they convinced themselves of their lies so much that they can no longer differentiate between myth and reality fact and fiction now I know this sounds dystopian and some people who have never been to India are probably shaking their heads thinking this couldn't be true but I cannot imagine what about India that is
not dystopian george Orwell was actually born in India by the way conversations in that country are driven solely for personal gain with a steadfast belief in a zero sum game or actually they prefer a win-lose game if you don't lose in in in an in a transaction they don't feel good about it there is this strong element of sadism in the culture those who are closest to you will turn out to be your biggest enemies everyone in that country build solid a strong highrise high fences around his property that is the first thing you do when you build buy a property fully aware that his neighbors would encro would encroach on his land if given a chance you sleep without a fence on your on your property and next day morning your land would have been encroach encroached on and you can do nothing about it once I started living in the United Kingdom it took me years to comprehend why people in the west don't do the same thing the concept of loyalty and honor are conspicuously absent in that country conversations revolve around backbiting gossiping about friends discussing celebrities exchanging superstitions and animosity towards another other groups hindus hate Muslims muslims hate Hindus sik harbor huge animosity towards Hindus these groups however within themselves fight all the time leaving everyone atomized yet it is the hatred for the other group that superficially unites them when I first traveled to the United Kingdom I was amused to find uh that animals weren't fearful of me or aggressive towards people i was surprised that those in power did not expect cerility or reverence for years and even today sometimes I feel uneasy uh in a situation when I need someone to do his job and he does it i feel as if I'm not doing my part of the transaction by offering him bribes that's how you grow up in that society i doubt if I connected the concept of truth and tr with the concept of loyalty and honor to their deeper meanings until I started until I had lived in the United Kingdom for a year it took a long time for me to start understanding the deeper meanings of these concepts i was working in an office in in Manchester and during that time someone told me not to exaggerate while promoting the organization something I was responsible for during my summer days for the first time in my life I began to see that people wanted to speak the truth for the sake of speaking the truth i had always of course known the word truth but for the first time I started to grasp its essence now strangely very anomalous in India were my grandfather and my dad who were in financial matters very extremely honest and held self-respect uh very highly um our family was pretty reasonably well off and well connected politically but this only allows me to understand 25% of India's depravities and degradations i simply don't have an understanding of what else really happens in the country because I'm not a woman i'm not from the lower cast i don't live in slum areas and I'm not raped and brutalized by the police the way 80 to 90% of Indians do um the problem however is that if you
invited someone who understood who had experienced more than 25% of Indian deprivity deprivities and degradations his mind would have been fried by what what he would have
experienced and he would have been incapable of communication indians of course fail to differentiate between the difference between depravity and non-depravities so here is the foundational principle to understanding India it is an amoral it is an immoral irrational society devoid of values any values you try to instill will slip off like a water of a a duck's back in my lifetime I have seen a continual worsening of Indian society whatever grace and civility Christian missionaries and European colonizers had instilled in India in Indians has been slowly but surely eroding i I I distinctly recall the first day I was in outside the country i flew into London i was on a train to Manchester what I observed outside the train um made me very gloomy i saw dull-looking houses which were too clean for my taste very clean waterways and very clean air the absence of hustle and bustle in the trains and calmness of the train made me disoriented and gloomy i did not know how to cope with a situation where there was no constant assault on my senses with time um uh in living in the west I realized that for most immigrants the sit this situation of calmness peace lack of noise lack of a smell in the air leads to an existential crisis and a compulsive need to recreate India wherever they move to that is why when you even when you go to a million-dollar get million-dollar house ghettos in the western society occupied by Indians and other third world people you you face familiar smells and noise and chaos they desperately know need those smells and chaos and a constant hustle and bustle they create neverending emotionalism fruitless conflicts and intellectual inbreeding in those ghettos in the western society when I was in the Manchester Business School um we were given um the the fob the electric electronic fob to enter the university whenever we wanted to 24 hours a day um um we the the fellow immigrants I talked with we always wondered if British were so stupid that they that they trusted us this was so unusual so completely unusual for us most of these people however most of these immigrants would never try to grasp the emotional significance of trust and gratitude worse they discovered as time passed by that complaining often led to material benefits the the only thing that genuinely cared for um in the multicultural west once a friend of mine and I went for a drive in Manchester my friend had had a couple of drinks too many he ran a red light we were pulled over by the police i was completely stunned by the respect with which the police treated us treated my friend in India the police would have humiliated and exploited even the passengers who were who had no no business in the game u abusing and exploiting uh the weak was and is a way of life in India of course because my friend friend had um high alcohol level he was arrested the policeman who arrested him of said that instead of leaving me on the highway he would be happy to give me a ride to the police station uh if I wanted to do something
else from there on i said yes I will come with you so I sat next to the policeman in the car now this was a year into my life in the United Kingdom but I was emotionally
overwhelmed that on the way to the police station I talked with him this police guy how the same situation would have turned out in India uh the cycle of abuse and exploitation and humiliation they they would they would have inflicted on the driver and the passengers uh now those days I used to live in a very high crime area of Manchester i was I had no money uh the police would follow me late at night uh
with just they would just follow me while I walked um I asked this policeman
who was driving me to the police station why did they never stop me to ask me questions on what I was doing and he he told me that they followed me to ensure my safety but more importantly they had no authority to stop me without a legitimate cause for the first time in my life I was beginning to grasp the British respect for personal space now I my intention was not to manipulate the policeman at that time but after making my friends uh what he did was he got my friend to sit for an hour or two to sober up and without charging him he let us go um uh I began to realize over a
period of time that while those in p those in power in the United Kingdom often applied the law with flexibility considering the spirit behind it i guess the policeman realized that we were decent fellows he he did not really want
to pursue that anymore um in India every single law is wielded as a tool for
exploitation and predation there's no exception now I will soon elaborate on
how the positive aspects that the west um contributed to India uh has been have
been all perverted um so we often talk about how prosperity and education will
actually benefit these poor countries that's a myth that's fellacious it does
not work and I will expand on that but the problem is that how do you
change the underpinning irrationality and immorality of those people
how do you remove the operating system of magical thinking and implant that
mind with rational thinking and because British are no longer in charge the
situation has continued to worsen statistics fail to resonate in
the Indian psyche there is no sense of gray area among Indians everything is perceived as
black or white with no appreciation for nuance this lack of pro proportionality
leads to indecisiveness and inability to value things in the end unrestrained emotions
drive their lives even of the intelligent people i carried I carried
the same a part of the same mindset with me when I moved to the UK realigning my
thinking with reason morality and western values was a cispian
task in India I attended one of the top engineering colleges and believed myself
to be very creative decisive and well-grounded but as I w started witness witnessing
social interactions in Manchester and behaviors of people in the United Kingdom I I I I started to realize that
even a grocery store grocery shop operator had more confidence and was
more decisive i realized my cloud my mind was
clouded with confused thinking conflicting motivations they were which were implanted in me as growing up and
rules lacking a principled foundation now imagine working on that
kind of mind imagine the layers and layers of confused worldviews behavioral
patterns and dishonest scheming tendency your upbringing in India ingrains you in
with despite my best intentions shaking them off and rewiring my thinking took
decades not years decades even if I believe that something was good it was
often still even if if a belief was is still good I of it was of often still
based on irrational or magical thinking uh principles uh if I can you call those
principles an erroneous belief I became aware of and tried to change clashed
with other deeply ingrained beliefs and behavioral patterns it was a cispian
task it was like trying to change a broken brick in a castle of my beliefs
and worldviews um without this destabilizing the entire structure
however with time and consistent effort I noticed that I started to sleep better
and felt mentally freer despite facing severe financial
crisis and often going hungry my body started to change and the mental cloud
that had clkeded my thoughts began to lift a reassuring sense that those
around me had my back was immensely helpful now remember in in India your
family and friends are your biggest enemies um
um strangely um a chronic stress that afflicted me started to fade away as
well um India continues to be one of the most stressed countries on the planet most of the third world countries are um
my grandmother told me two things uh to which I thought were very
backward-looking something that I have changed my views on and I have come to side with her ways of thinking she
believed that some people needed to stay on the edge of starvation because if
given more they would create problems despite being one of the most
egalitarian people I knew befriending her chauffeer and Taylor she would
remind me that not everyone deserved a seat at the table unless he was truly fit for
it human rights is a western concept that is incomprehensible to Indians they
fail to understand personal space and respect for the individual is speaking to them about rights um even negative
rights i'm not talking about positive right even about negative rights only leads to confusion they fail to
differentiate between negative and positive rights when taught about negative rights what will they do
because remember the underpinning the substrata is irrationality and immorality and a absence of values they
glean only the selfserving part of the negative rights for example when people are taught about
property rights what do they glean out of it they learn to protect their property but fail to recognize rights of
others women when they are taught about that rape is a violation begin to
perceive rape in everything and use it as a tool to exploit men most of the
filed rape cases in India are today fake as as Indians are introduced to the
concept of rights their minds instead of getting some sense out of those negative
rights their minds start to shift from focusing on their rest lives to and
accepting their rest life as fate is start adopting a victim
mentality that's where my grandmom was coming from so here is the problem with Indians
who cannot teach them anything good until the foundations of morality rationality causality and other western
values have first been laid in their minds how would you do that job i don't
know how you can do it without these foundations the fruit of the western
civilization only serve to turn their hedonistic tendencies into something
more malevolent every civilizational fruit education
western clothing prosperity western institutions have been perverted in India the left the institutions left
behind um by the British have been hollowed out become purely predatory and
sadistic this occurred because in post British India those in power price prize
expediency and resource acquisition remember their instinct is all about money and sex they have no interest in
ideas they have no interest in anything spiritual um they see acquisition of
resources as the sole purpose of their lives today India lacks even the vague
rule of law that existed before the arrival of Europeans this is why in my
view when India has fallen apart and it will fall apart and a Taliban-like
system comes into exist in in in in India from the ashes it will be an
improvement on what India is today u I'll continue talking about how
the good things that the western civilization offered to India have been perverted
uh without western missionaries Christianity has been nourished by uh
Indian Indian superstitions and magical thinking um and has become voodoo um
given the lack of interest in ideas that Indians have a lack of interest that
they have in abstract thinking grammar is unnecessary to them English for most
people have become pigeon uh western western education and western
clothing have been adopted purely from a cargo cult mentality the focus is on
obtaining certificates putting on western clothes and they think that is all that matters the skills behind those
certificates is completely immaterial to their minds
um they they completely fail to see education as a path to intellectual
growth or as a means to become better human beings
um now what happens to education applied on irrational mind um which processes um
information through magical thinking um education becomes burdens burdensome it
burdens your mind making educated Indians worse than their uneducated
counterparts they function as rigid cogs cogs not understanding the meaning and
value of their actions they are micro compromises in a complex society may be
untra untraceable but result in horrible outcomes i worry about what why those
max 787 fell from the skies and why forest fires are so many these days i
wonder what happened what what is behind it in economics there's a concept called
middle income trap i prefer to call India's situation low income trap it
will stay here and it will get worse with time now let's talk about another western concept prosperity uh prosperity
has led to u not led to social peace um it hasn't become a platform for
intellectual or spiritual growth in that country indians do not understand the concept of
comforts either so they cannot use their money for comforts they build garish
houses um only to show off to other people and to control those weaker than
them um worse the easy prosperity of recent decades which is essentially a result of
western technological advancements has disincentivized the pursuit of
rationality and morality so now Indians are actually becoming more irrational
and more immoral more immoral because they just don't need to the causality in
their minds is functioning the the other way social media serves as a platform
for exchanging myths and superstitions today is India is more entrenched in
magical thinking and superstitions than it ever was in when I was a child now
again another fruit of western civilization was the institutions those
elevated Indians elevated to higher position become arrogant and sadistic
this behavior stems less from a desire to mask their incompetence and
psychological weakness and more from a genuine belief that arrogance and sadism
define power and class think about it they think arrogance and being sadistic
is have being classy additionally it serves as a
mechanism to cope with deepseated inferiority complex i talked about uh
the the the constant um um brutalizing of people who are weaker
who who are in weaker position and everyone is weaker at some point of time um
um the the wealth that the when Indians look at the western society and when
they look at the wealth it hypnotizes them um they fail to understand the
underpinnings of that circus success because they are only interested in the facade and that's all they can under
see they when they they view the west they equate westernization with
Hollywood stereotypes girls wearing short clothing promiscuity uh drinking
and using drugs flaunting wealth and generally an a heronistic way of life
they see in their souls they see what their souls want to them to see in
Hollywood India see a reflection of their pre-colonial pre Victorian moral
hedonic
culture so here is where I conclude my talk and this is the whole narrative was
to come to this conclusion um and the the basic issue with understanding the
Indian mind is that it is irrational and immoral and it does not hold any of the
western values like honor loyalty dear to itself they don't understand the
concept of truth they view the universe as as arbitrary and engage in magical
thinking they cannot think beyond now this is where animalistic instincts
operate when you don't have a civilizational values animalistic instincts operate they cannot think
beyond sex and money uh but this should be expected and
this is why I think there's a problem with why things cannot change this is
what happens with a society with an IQ of 77 low IQ people cannot hold any
values in their psyche driven by animalistic instincts and
expediency they rationalize everything to serve their materialistic and self-serving purposes every western
value given to them has been caric caricaturized and corrupted to these
ends which is materialism yeah uh they have no interest in honor
faith spirituality loyalty truth or truth or um or any of the western values
they have no ten commandments western people think that ten commandments just
exist in nature they don't civilization does not exist in nature they are so
unaware of these values that they remain oblivious about these values even if
they are forc even if these values are forcefully presented to them and there's
nothing you can do about this except to understand how immigration from India and the rest of the third world will impact the west ladies and gentlemen thank you very [Applause] Fore speech she follow me.
