印度人的主要問(wèn)題是什么?

Dhananjay Srinivash
I was on a flight from Kolkata to Ahmedabad. For once, I was seated in the aisle seat. Since it was a late-night trip, there was nothing to see out the window, and I didn't want to pay extra for a window seat. I boarded the airplane after the majority of people to avoid having to shift if the people in the center and window seats arrived after me because I had the aisle seat.
Just then, the passengers on my left who were in the middle seat and the window seat asked me to give way so that they could get their bags and join the queue on the aisle.
Oddly, I have only observed this behavior in Indians. People from other countries hardly ever do this. I have noticed that relatively few individuals stand up as soon as the plane lands on my overseas flights. Even on those aircraft, it's evident from their features that the majority of persons getting up are Indian.

在一次從加爾各答飛往艾哈邁達(dá)巴德的航班上，我有幸坐在了靠過(guò)道的座位。由于是深夜的航班，窗外一片漆黑，沒(méi)有什么風(fēng)景可看，因此我也沒(méi)有額外支付費(fèi)用選擇靠窗的座位。為了避免在中間和靠窗戶的座位的乘客登機(jī)后需要我讓路，我選擇在大多數(shù)人之后登機(jī)再登機(jī)。
就在那時(shí)，我左邊的中間座位和窗邊座位上的乘客要求我讓路，這樣他們才能取下自己的行李，并在過(guò)道上排起隊(duì)來(lái)。
奇怪的是，我只在印度人身上觀察到這種行為。其他國(guó)家的人很少這樣做。在海外的航班上，我注意到飛機(jī)一著陸，立刻站起來(lái)的人比較少。從他們的外貌來(lái)看，那些急忙起身的大多數(shù)是印度人。

The standard airline protocol is to stay seated until the gate opens, at which point you should evacuate in a row. If an emergency evacuation is needed by any Indian airline, I wonder what these individuals will do. Nobody will be able to escape in the end because everyone will block the aisle to get to the emergency exits first.
There was nowhere to escape. I didn’t understand why everyone was in such a rush to get off the plane; people were standing close to me! Staying seated is preferable to blocking the aisle like students waiting to get out of class.

航空公司的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)規(guī)程是待在座位上直到登機(jī)門打開，然后按順序撤離。如果印度的任何航空公司需要緊急疏散，我真不知道這些急忙起身的人會(huì)怎么做。如果每個(gè)人都急于跑到緊急出口，最終可能會(huì)導(dǎo)致過(guò)道堵塞，影響疏散。
實(shí)際上，沒(méi)有地方可逃。我不理解為什么每個(gè)人都那么急于離開飛機(jī)；他們幾乎緊貼著我站著！保持坐著比站起來(lái)堵塞過(guò)道要明智得多，就像學(xué)生放學(xué)時(shí)不應(yīng)該急于涌出教室一樣。

Deshna Mohanty
I lost a friend of mine to suicide last night. We had been to her funeral today.
It was unexpected. She was 22 years. She was married. Yes, teenage love. Though her in-laws were supportive, her parents and family weren't. She had to go through a lot because of this.
Her husband was a very nice guy. He supported her through thick and thin. Unfortunately, he was killed in a road accident around 2–3 months ago.
Unable to cope up with this tragedy, my friend committed suicide. She was depressed and lonely after her husband's death.

昨晚，我失去了一位朋友，她選擇了自殺。今天，我們?yōu)樗e行了葬禮。
這突如其來(lái)的消息令人震驚。她年僅22歲，已經(jīng)步入了婚姻的殿堂。是的，那是一段青澀的戀愛。盡管她的丈夫家人給予了她支持，但她的父母和家庭卻并不贊同這段關(guān)系，因此她不得不面對(duì)許多挑戰(zhàn)。
她的丈夫是一個(gè)非常善良的人，無(wú)論遇到什么困難，他總是站在她這一邊。不幸的是，大約兩三個(gè)月前，他在一場(chǎng)交通事故中不幸去世。
面對(duì)這樣的悲痛，我的朋友無(wú)法承受，最終選擇了結(jié)束自己的生命。丈夫的離世讓她陷入了深深的抑郁和孤獨(dú)之中。

The scene at the funeral.
I visited with 3 of my friends. There was a huge crowd. The funeral was held at my friend's home. All her relatives and in-laws were present. An old aged couple was also present, who I assume, are her grandparents.
They had no grief at all. Almost everyone around was sad, including us who knew the girl for barely a year. But the elderly couple were fine and not sad.
They kept telling something to everyone around them in Telugu. Since I don't understand the language, I couldn't figure out much.
While coming back home, my friend translated that to me. She told me that the couple kept abusing the girl and were infact happy that she lost her life.

葬禮現(xiàn)場(chǎng)的情景令人難忘。
我與三位朋友一同前往。那里人山人海，葬禮在我那位朋友的家中舉行。她的所有親戚和公婆都到場(chǎng)了。還有一對(duì)看似年邁的夫婦，我想他們應(yīng)該是她的祖父母。
這對(duì)老年夫婦看起來(lái)并無(wú)悲傷之情。周圍的每個(gè)人，包括我們這些僅僅認(rèn)識(shí)她一年左右的朋友，都感到悲傷。然而，這對(duì)老年夫婦卻顯得異常平靜，沒(méi)有流露出悲傷。
他們一直在用泰盧固語(yǔ)和周圍的人交談。由于我不懂這門語(yǔ)言，我無(wú)法完全理解他們?cè)谡f(shuō)什么。
在回家的路上，我的朋友為我翻譯了他們的談話內(nèi)容。她告訴我，那對(duì)夫婦一直在辱罵那個(gè)女孩，甚至對(duì)她的去世表示出了一種莫名的喜悅。

Reason?
Inter-caste marriage.
The girl and the guy married much against the wishes of her family and after the marriage, she was disowned by her family.
However, they gathered only after she was dead. Though most people including her parents realized their wrongdoings, self-respect and family traditions mattered more to her grandparents than her life.
They kept ranting all the while that the girl and her husband deserved death for playing around with her family's respect.
At the end of the day, their ego had more importance than someone's life.

原因何在？
是跨種姓婚姻的問(wèn)題。
女孩和男孩不顧她家人的反對(duì)結(jié)婚，婚后她被家庭所拋棄。
然而，她去世之后，家人才重新聚集在一起。盡管包括她的父母在內(nèi)的大多數(shù)人意識(shí)到了自己的錯(cuò)誤，但她的祖父母卻認(rèn)為，比起她的生命，他們自己的自尊和家族傳統(tǒng)更為重要。
他們一直在不停地抱怨，認(rèn)為女孩和她的丈夫因?yàn)槠茐牧思易宓淖饑?yán)而活該受到死亡的懲罰。
說(shuō)到底，他們的自尊心比一個(gè)人的生命更加重要。

What's the main problem of Indians?
People don't know when not to talk. Someone's dead, so one needs to be sad for the family members. At least, don't curse around the deceased and the other family members.
Next scenario.
Nobody even asked the elderly couple to keep quiet while they were ranting.
Why?
Cause age. They are the eldest in the family, so of course they are right no matter what.

印度人面臨的主要問(wèn)題是什么？
人們不知道何時(shí)該保持沉默。有人去世了，我們應(yīng)當(dāng)為家庭成員感到悲傷。至少，在逝者和家庭成員周圍，我們不應(yīng)該詛咒或發(fā)表不敬的言論。
接下來(lái)的場(chǎng)景是這樣的。
當(dāng)那對(duì)老年夫婦在大聲抱怨時(shí)，竟然沒(méi)有人上前制止他們。
為什么會(huì)這樣？
因?yàn)槟昙o(jì)大。他們?cè)诩易逯惺情L(zhǎng)輩，所以無(wú)論他們說(shuō)什么，似乎都是正確的。

Another problem of Indians?
They know to keep mum when they must actually speak out. They have no guts to ask someone to keep quiet even if all they're saying is not even relevant.
Sobs!
Edit 1:
By this, I'm not accusing all the elderly couples and Indians out there. But this has been observed in many households and I wished to point this out.

印度人的另一個(gè)問(wèn)題在于？
他們?cè)谛枰l(fā)聲的時(shí)候卻選擇沉默。即使別人所說(shuō)的內(nèi)容完全不相關(guān)，他們也沒(méi)有勇氣去要求對(duì)方停止。
唉！
編輯1：
我這么說(shuō)，并不是在指責(zé)所有的老年夫婦或印度人。但這種情況在許多家庭中都很常見，我只是希望指出這一點(diǎn)。

As I traveled to Goa from Chandigarh on a 36-hour train journey, I noticed something unfortunate. The toilet was clean when we started, but as we crossed Delhi, it became very dirty. People had not flushed after using it, and it smelled bad.
This made me think about a big problem in India - many people don't keep public places clean. They don't think about others who will use the same facilities after them. It's important for everyone to be more responsible and keep public places clean for everyone's benefit.

在我從昌迪加爾出發(fā)，經(jīng)歷了36小時(shí)的火車旅程前往果阿的過(guò)程中，我觀察到了一個(gè)令人遺憾的現(xiàn)象。起初，火車上的廁所還很干凈，但當(dāng)我們的列車穿越德里后，廁所變得極其臟亂。顯然，有人使用后沒(méi)有沖洗，導(dǎo)致廁所散發(fā)出難聞的氣味。
這個(gè)情況讓我深思，印度面臨的一個(gè)嚴(yán)重問(wèn)題：許多人并不注重維護(hù)公共空間的清潔。他們似乎沒(méi)有考慮到，自己之后還會(huì)有其他人需要使用這些設(shè)施。每個(gè)人都應(yīng)該更加具有責(zé)任感，為了大家的利益，共同維護(hù)公共場(chǎng)所的衛(wèi)生和清潔。

Rana Ashish
I have always been fascinated by the achievements of India, but it is also our moral responsibility to address the problems of India and its people.
Let's begin with the British Empire, which not only looted our nation for 250 years but also enslaved us. In many places across India, Indians and even dogs were prohibited, denying us entry into our own country.
We were treated as third-class citizens, and while many discuss the German concentration camps where millions of Jews were killed, the atrocities committed by the British in India often go unnoticed. Approximately 165 million (unaccounted) people lost their lives under British rule. The Bengal Famine alone claimed 3.8 million lives because Churchill prioritized "other" matters over addressing the crisis.

我對(duì)印度的成就總是充滿敬佩，但正視并解決印度及其人民面臨的問(wèn)題同樣是我們不可推卸的道義上的責(zé)任。
讓我們從英國(guó)帝國(guó)開始說(shuō)起，它不僅在我們的國(guó)土上掠奪了長(zhǎng)達(dá)250年之久，還對(duì)我們的民族進(jìn)行了奴役。在印度的眾多地方，我們印度人，甚至狗類，都被禁止進(jìn)入，這實(shí)際上是在阻止我們進(jìn)入自己的國(guó)土。
我們被當(dāng)作三等公民對(duì)待，盡管許多人討論了納粹德國(guó)集中營(yíng)中數(shù)百萬(wàn)猶太人遭受的屠殺，但英國(guó)在印度所犯下的暴行卻常常被世人忽視。據(jù)估計(jì)，約有1.65億人在英國(guó)統(tǒng)治下失去了生命，這個(gè)數(shù)字尚未得到充分統(tǒng)計(jì)。僅孟加拉大饑荒就導(dǎo)致了380萬(wàn)人死亡，這是因?yàn)榍鸺獱枌⑵渌聞?wù)置于解決這場(chǎng)危機(jī)之上。

They not only took lives, but they also inflicted deep wounds on our collective spirit. Even after 75 years of independence, a significant number of Indians continue to hold a reverence for white people wherever they encounter them.
When a random white dude arrives and expresses admiration for India and Hinduism, many Indians react with overwhelming enthusiasm, as if this external validation is the ultimate endorsement they seek.
Numerous YouTubers, unfamiliar with India's true essence and cultural intricacies, have found a singular formula for success on the platform: presenting a positive narrative about India. Despite lacking a profound understanding of the country, these content creators amass millions of followers, predominantly Indians, capitalizing on the sentiments of the audience to generate substantial financial gains.
Even when I watched their content for the first time, I felt like yes, this is what I wanted to listen from someone who doesn’t even know our country. When the same information is conveyed by our teachers or parents, it often goes unnoticed or unappreciated.

他們不僅奪走了生命，還深深地傷害了我們民族的精神。即便在印度獨(dú)立75年之后，許多印度人仍然對(duì)遇到的白人抱有一種崇敬的態(tài)度。
當(dāng)一個(gè)普通的白人來(lái)到印度，對(duì)印度和印度教表達(dá)贊美之情時(shí)，許多印度人會(huì)表現(xiàn)出極度的熱情，好像這種來(lái)自外部的認(rèn)可是他們渴望得到的最終肯定。
許多油管視頻創(chuàng)作者并不真正了解印度的精髓和文化細(xì)節(jié)，但他們?cè)谄脚_(tái)上找到了成功的秘訣：講述關(guān)于印度的正面故事。盡管他們對(duì)印度的了解并不深入，卻吸引了無(wú)數(shù)的粉絲，主要是印度人，他們利用觀眾的情感賺取了可觀的收益。
甚至當(dāng)我首次觀看這些內(nèi)容時(shí)，我也感到認(rèn)同，覺(jué)得這正是我想從那些并不了解我們國(guó)家的人那里聽到的。而當(dāng)這些信息由我們的老師或父母?jìng)鬟_(dá)時(shí)，卻常常被我們忽視或不被珍視。

But you know, this is not the irony. If the same content is created by any Indian, like a reaction video or praising Indian culture, nobody bothers to give any attention to them.
However, there is one point where Indians get united: Speaking against India.
There are many anti-national YouTubers who are afraid to live in India but spread propaganda against it. Strangely, this is where Indians show love; millions of followers, predominantly from India, eagerly watch and support them.
So, if you are a foreigner with white skin, simply "Speak about India" on any platform, and you will gain blind followers. Conversely, if you are an Indian, "Speak against India" on any platform, and you will also attract blind followers.

但你知道嗎，這并不是最諷刺的地方。如果同樣的內(nèi)容由印度人創(chuàng)作，比如一個(gè)表達(dá)對(duì)印度文化贊美的反應(yīng)視頻，卻往往得不到人們的關(guān)注。
然而，有一點(diǎn)能讓印度人團(tuán)結(jié)起來(lái)，那就是批評(píng)印度。
有些反對(duì)國(guó)家的博主，他們害怕在印度生活，卻散播著反對(duì)印度的言論。奇怪的是，正是在這種情況下，印度人會(huì)表現(xiàn)出支持；數(shù)百萬(wàn)的訂閱者，主要是印度人，熱切地觀看并支持他們。
所以，如果你是一個(gè)白皮膚的外國(guó)人，只需在任一平臺(tái)上談?wù)撚《龋憔湍芪矫つ康挠嗛喺摺７催^(guò)來(lái)，如果你是一個(gè)印度人，在任何平臺(tái)上反對(duì)印度，你同樣能吸引到盲目的訂閱者。

It's ironic that in this scenario, where both praise and criticism find their extremes, people argue that we don’t have freedom of speech.
I began writing this response with a reference to the Britishers because one thing we learned from them is the "showcase of power" among weaker populations. It's not just me; many others may also feel that in India, everyone seems to be vying for power.
Is it just with me or you guys also think that everybody is just trying to acquire power in India? People just want a govt job so that they could have power to affect people's life (not in a good way). When interacting with government officials, one often encounters arrogance and a sense of entitlement. Most of them are like child who needs a constant appraisal of their ego and their false sense of manhood. I really don't think India will develop, maybe on paper but not on ground.

具有諷刺意味的是，在這種贊揚(yáng)和批評(píng)都走向極端的情況下，人們爭(zhēng)辯說(shuō)我們沒(méi)有言論自由。
我之所以以英國(guó)人為例來(lái)開始這篇回答，是因?yàn)槲覀儚乃麄兡抢飳W(xué)到了如何在弱勢(shì)群體中展示權(quán)力。不僅是我，許多人也可能感覺(jué)到，在印度，每個(gè)人似乎都在爭(zhēng)奪權(quán)力。
是不是只有我這么想，還是你們也覺(jué)得，在印度，每個(gè)人都在試圖獲取權(quán)力？人們渴望得到政府崗的工作，這樣他們就能以一種并非積極的方式影響他人的生活。在與政府官員打交道時(shí)，人們經(jīng)常會(huì)遇到傲慢和權(quán)利意識(shí)。他們中的許多人表現(xiàn)得像需要持續(xù)贊美來(lái)滿足自我和虛假男子氣概的孩子。我并不真正看好印度的發(fā)展，或許在理論上有所進(jìn)步，但在實(shí)際生活中卻不然。

The power hierarchy in India runs deep. What I think, Govt job gives job security and powerful position in Govt attracts more powerful people, more money and more influence in others lives. We as a society have made this notion that govt job is superior than any other job. You may be earning many times better than that govt clerk but the tag of govt job is enough to make him feel superior to anyone and its the same thing that reflects in his behavior. You may be CEO of a big company but for the society govt job clerk is far superior than the CEO.

在印度，權(quán)力結(jié)構(gòu)根深蒂固。在我看來(lái)，政府職位不僅提供了工作的穩(wěn)定性，還因其在政府中的地位而吸引了那些尋求更多權(quán)力、金錢和對(duì)他人生活有更大影響力的人。我們社會(huì)普遍認(rèn)為政府工作比其他任何職業(yè)都要高貴，這種觀念已經(jīng)根深蒂固。即使你的收入遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)超過(guò)一個(gè)政府文員，他依然會(huì)因?yàn)閾碛姓ぷ鞯臉?biāo)簽而自視甚高，這種優(yōu)越感也會(huì)在他的日常行為中體現(xiàn)出來(lái)。哪怕你是一家大公司的CEO，在社會(huì)的傳統(tǒng)觀念中，一個(gè)政府文員的地位仍然遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)高于你。

Indeed, when it comes to marriage, a girl's father often doesn't hesitate to prefer a government employee as a potential son-in-law over a CEO of a company earning in crores. The societal perception of the stability and prestige associated with a government job plays a significant role in such preferences, sometimes overshadowing substantial differences in income and status.

在婚姻選擇上，這種觀念尤為明顯。女孩的父親在選擇女婿時(shí)，往往會(huì)優(yōu)先考慮一個(gè)政府工作人員——哪怕對(duì)方只是一個(gè)收入平平的公務(wù)員，而放棄一個(gè)年收入數(shù)千萬(wàn)的公司CEO。在這種選擇中，政府工作的穩(wěn)定性和威望往往被視為更重要的因素，有時(shí)甚至超越了收入和地位的巨大差異。

The influence of power has permeated deeply into our daily lives. When driving, many of us avoid encounters with traffic police because we are often unsure of our rights and fear falling victim to potential corruption. The inclination of power-hungry individuals to dominate the vulnerable is evident. The lack of job equality has driven many engineers, doctors, and MBA graduates from prestigious universities in India to aspire to become civil servants, seeking the perceived authority and influence associated with such positions.

權(quán)力的影響已經(jīng)滲透到我們?nèi)粘Ｉ畹姆椒矫婷?。例如，開車時(shí)，許多人會(huì)盡量避免接觸交通警察，因?yàn)槲覀兂３?duì)自己的權(quán)益不夠了解，擔(dān)心遭遇腐敗。那些渴望權(quán)力的人對(duì)弱勢(shì)群體的支配傾向是顯而易見的。職業(yè)平等的缺失也導(dǎo)致許多印度頂尖大學(xué)的工程師、醫(yī)生和MBA畢業(yè)生，他們本可以從事高薪職業(yè)，卻選擇去追求成為公務(wù)員，以獲得那些與這些職位相關(guān)的權(quán)威和影響力。

Do you want me to believe that they want to serve the country selflessly, rejected crores of package for earning in thousands.
Total 216 cases have been registered against civil servants in India in last 5 years by CBI. Puja Singhal from my own state Jharkhand, she was found with 19 crores of cash in her house last year, still she wasn’t terminated from her service, only suspended.

你真的要我相信他們?cè)敢夥艞壐咝?，無(wú)私地為國(guó)家服務(wù)，只拿微薄的薪水嗎？過(guò)去五年中，印度中央調(diào)查局對(duì)公務(wù)員立案了216起案件。以我所在的賈坎德邦的普加·辛格為例，去年在她家中搜出了1.9億盧比的現(xiàn)金，盡管如此，她并沒(méi)有被解雇，僅僅是被停職了。

In other countries, such as the United Kingdom and the United States, civil servants have less job security. They can be dismissed for poor performance or if their department is abolished. However, they are usually given severance pay and other benefits. But this is not the case in India.

在像英國(guó)和美國(guó)這樣的其他國(guó)家，公務(wù)員的工作并不像在印度這樣有保障。如果表現(xiàn)不佳或者所在部門被撤銷，他們可能會(huì)被解雇。但通常他們會(huì)得到一定的解雇補(bǔ)償和其他福利。然而，這種情況在印度并不常見。

Before you jump into my comment section and unleash attacks on me, I am not generalizing, obviously.
I believe it's essential for us to change our mentality. Our focus should shift towards being driven by a commitment to the nation.
Hope one day, we will achieve it.

在你準(zhǔn)備在我的評(píng)論區(qū)發(fā)表評(píng)論之前，請(qǐng)先不要急于攻擊我，我并沒(méi)有一概而論。
