What is wrong with the Indian society of today?

今天的印度社会出了什么问题？

We waste time in supporting those who do not need supporting.

Today’s youth finds satisfaction by reacting and not by doing. They react to something good and think like they are hel the country. I wish people reacted more to unfair media, unemployment issues, expensive education system than to react on India wng a cricket match.

我们浪费了很多时间去支持那些不需要支持的人。

今天的年轻人只靠附和而非行动来获得满足。他们会附和某些事，觉得自己就是在帮助国家。我希望人们对不公平的媒体、失业问题、昂贵的教育体系提出更多意见，不要只为了印度打赢一场板球比赛而反应热烈。

When Indian cricket team wins a match. Even if it is a tiny bilateral series. Everyone starts sharing on whatsapp, facebook as their status. The proudest thing they have ever witnessed. Appreciating players who are super rich, as if they need appreciation.

Any single bollywood movie that becomes a hit, everyone starts talking about it everywhere on social media. The actors are super rich. As if they need publicity from you.

Defending politicians: Support Modi or support Gandhi. None of them require your support but we spend hours of hour time arguing, sharing on social media.

只要印度板球队赢得比赛，即便只是一个很小的双边系列赛，所有人都会在whatsapp和facebook上共襄盛举。这仿佛这就是他们见过的最骄傲的事。他们感谢那些超级富有的板球选手，就好像他们需要感谢似的。

任何一部宝莱坞电影成为热门影片，所有人都会在社交媒体上热烈讨论。演员们都超级有钱好嘛，好像他们需要你的宣传似的。

为政客辩护：不论是支持莫迪或是支持甘地，他们并不需要你的支持，但我们却在社交媒体上花了好几个小时争论不休。

Question the unjust more than sharing stupid little wins that make rich richer.

我们应该质疑不公平现象，而不是分享那些让富人变得更加富有的愚蠢的小胜利。

I totally get where you're coming from with that question about the current state of Indian society. It's a complex topic with a bunch of layers, and it's cool that you're curious about it. Now, pinpointing what's "wrong" with Indian society today is a bit tricky because, well, society isn't just one thing, right? It's a mix of various elements – culture, politics, economy, and more. But if I had to share my thoughts on a couple of aspects, here's what I reckon.

我完全理解你对于印度社会现状的担忧。这是一个复杂的话题，有很多层面，你好奇也很正常。现在，想要准确指出当今印度社会的“问题”有点困难，因为，社会不仅仅是一件事，对吧？它混合了文化、政治、经济等各种因素。以下是我的看法。

First off, the gap between tradition and modernity seems to tug at the seams of Indian society. I remember this one time during a community gathering where opinions were split on the changing dynamics of arranged marriages. Some folks were all for sticking to the traditional ways, while others were keen on exploring a more modern approach where individuals have a say in their life partners. It was fascinating yet kind of intense seeing both sides passionately defending their stance. This tug-of-war between tradition and modern values often leads to friction, making it tough to find a middle ground sometimes. Embracing change while preserving cultural heritage is like walking a tightrope, and finding that balance isn't always easy.

首先，传统与现代之间的鸿沟似乎在撕裂印度社会。我记得在一个社区聚会上，人们对包办婚姻的现状产生了分歧。有些人坚持遵循传统的方式，而另一些人则热衷于探索更现代的方式，让个人决定自己的生活伴侣。双方都在情绪激昂地捍卫自己的立场，这很有趣，但也有些激烈。这种传统与现代价值观之间的拉锯战经常导致摩擦，有时很难找到中间立场。在保护文化遗产的同时拥抱变革就像走钢丝，很难找到平衡点。

Another thing that jumps out is the lingering presence of societal biases. Back when I was growing up, I saw how societal norms and stereotypes had a way of influencing people's mindsets. There were preconceived notions about gender roles, caste, and even career choices. I recall a friend of mine who dreamt of pursuing dance as a career, but societal pressures pushed her into engineering because, well, that's what was deemed "appropriate." It's heartbreaking to witness such situations where individual aspirations take a backseat to societal expectations. These biases restrict the freedom of choice and expression, which in turn hampers the society's progress towards inclusivity and embracing diversity.

另一个突出的问题是挥之不去的社会偏见。在我成长的过程中，我看到了社会规范和刻板印象如何左右人们的心态。人们对性别角色、种姓甚至职业选择都有先入为主的观念。我记得我的一个朋友曾梦想以舞蹈为职业，但社会压力迫使她进入工程领域，因为在别人眼中，这才是“合适的选择”。看到个人志向让位于社会期望，实在是令人心碎。这些偏见限制了选择和表达的自由，反过来又阻碍了社会向包容性和多样性的方向发展。

So, yeah, those are just a couple of aspects that I've noticed. It's important to remember, though, that while there might be areas that need improvement, Indian society is a vibrant tapestry woven with diverse cultures, languages, and traditions. There's this incredible resilience and warmth within the community that's often overshadowed by the issues at hand. It's about finding ways to address these challenges while celebrating the richness and diversity that makes Indian society so unique. Keep asking these questions, though – that's how conversations start, and change begins to happen, one step at a time.

这些只是我注意到的几个方面。但是我们也要知道，虽然有些地方可能还需要改进，但印度社会是一幅美丽的锦缎，由不同的文化、语言和传统编织而成。印度社区中有令人难以置信的韧性和温暖，但经常被一些问题掩盖了。我们应该寻找解决这些挑战的方法，同时颂扬令印度社会别具一格的丰富性和多样性。我们应该继续提问这些问题—这就是开始对话、开始改变的方式，一步一步来。

We try to control our children like we own them.

This is very wrong with the Indian society.

First of all, when a child is brought into the world, it is not choice of the child that he comes into the world. It is the choice of the parents who decide to have sex and bring a child into this world.

我们想要控制我们的孩子，就像他们是属于我们的私人物品一样。

这是印度社会的最大错误。

首先，当一个孩子被带到这个世界时，并不是他自己做出的选择。这是父母的选择，他们决定发生性关系，把孩子带到这个世界上。

Since it is not the choice of the child to come into the world. It becomes parents responsiblity to bring them up in the best possible manner. And when times comes, parents should allow them to live their lives the way they want. However, they try to control every aspect of their lives. They try to fulfill their own dreams through the child.

This attitude of the parents ends up making the lives of children living hell.

既然不是孩子自己决定来到这个世界，那么用最好的方式抚养他们就成了父母的责任。当时机成熟时，父母应该允许他们选择自己想要的生活。但父母希望能控制自己生活的一切，他们希望通过孩子来实现自己的梦想。

父母的这种态度让孩子们的生活陷入地狱。

Most of the parent don’t know what is the best for their children. What they think is the best for their children may not be the best for their children.

This is the simplest thing that they should understand.

They try to mould them according to them not according to the nature of the child. When a child grows up, he tends to become very confused since he is not able to decide what he should do or what he should not do.

大多数父母都不知道什么才是对孩子最好的。他们所认为对孩子最好的东西，可能并不是孩子觉得最好的。

这是父母应该知道的最浅显的道理。

父母试图根据自己而非孩子的本性来塑造孩子。孩子长大后往往会变得非常困惑，因为他不能决定自己应该做什么或不应该做什么。

On one hand, he wants to do something where heart lies. On the other hand, he is told to do what he should do. This creates a lot polarity for a child.

If you want to prevent this, only way out is to let them live the way they want to live after they reach certain stage of life.

一方面，他想做一些自己喜欢的事。但另一方面，父母又要求他做应该做的事。这给孩子制造了很多对立矛盾。

如果你想杜绝此类情况的发生，唯一的办法就是让孩子在达到某个人生阶段后，能够按照自己想要的方式生活。

Hi Everyone. I am sharing an incident happened to me today. I am a 30 year old male from Madurai. I went to market with my mom in bike. While returning in the narrow roads of the market area, in front of me a person was standing to cross the road. So, my mom said she will get down to buy few things on road side before that person moves. While she was getting down a bike dashed us from behind asking me to move. I told him please wait she is getting down.

大家好！我要分享今天发生在我身上的一件事。我是一名来自马杜赖的30岁男性。我和妈妈骑自行车去市场。回家时在市场区的狭窄道路上，我前面站着一个人要过马路。我妈妈说她想在那个人离开前在路边买些东西。她下车时，一辆自行车从后面冲了过来，让我赶紧让开。我告诉他请等一下，我妈妈正在下车。

once she got down I moved immediately by bike to the side as the man in front also moved. But the bike fellow even though he was the one who dashed my bike. he came to me and kicked my bike making me fall down. And he said how dare you can tell me to wait. I got angry and threw my helmet on him. He came down and started kicking me. before I could react people around separated us both. I didn't want to engage in fight with him as he seemed like a rowdy and psycho and fighting with him will only make things worse. But I want to take a pic of his bike and him and raise a complaint or at least inform to my known police officials in my circle at least to give him a warning. My intention is that he will at least have a fear that he wont repeat it again on some other person.

我妈妈一下车，我就把自行车骑到路边，前面的男人也动了。但是后面那个骑自行车撞向我的人向我走来，用脚踹我的自行车，我从车上摔了下来。那人说你竟敢叫我等。我生气极了，把头盔扔到他身上。他也开始踢我。我还没还手，周围的人就把我们分开了。我不想和他打架，因为他看起来像个吵闹的疯子，和他打架只会让事情变得更糟。但我想拍下他的自行车和他的照片投诉他，或者至少通知我认识的警察，至少给他一个警告。我的目的是让这人至少知道要害怕一下，让他不敢再对其他人犯同样的错误。

But shocking thing was, everyone there was not allowing me to take pic. They said he belongs to this area, he is psycho You better leave. You just got beaten nothing else so its okay, don't make an issue. Everyone there was telling me its his mistake. But no one went to him and scolded him or made him go. Instead they were convincing me to not make an issue. As my mom was also pressuring me to come from that place. I had to move from there without taking pic.

但令人震惊的是，所有人都不让我拍照。他们说这人是附近的，是个疯子，你最好离开。你只是被他打了一下，没什么大不了的，别闹大了。在场的每个人都说这是他的错，但没人责备他，催他走。与此相反，他们只是劝我不要小题大做。后来我妈妈也对我施压，让我离开那个地方。我不得不放弃拍照，离开了。

Even though I accept there are some good intentions in why they said that to me. As he is a rowdy why you (me) want to spoil your peace by fighting with him. But what is not fair and giving me fear is that. Without any mistake of mine I was beaten there. And that culprit went away without any punishment or warning. Now he will be like whatever I do no one is going to question. So now he will do this to many people.

We as a society creates rowdies. If everyone had stood together with me and scolded him. Then he would think twice before doing anything similar again.

虽然我承认他们对我说这些话是出于好意，因为他是个惹是生非的人。但我觉得这很不公平，而且让我害怕的是，我并没有任何错处，但我却挨了打。那个人没有受到任何惩罚或警告就脱身了。现在他会觉得，不管他做什么都没人会找他麻烦。他会继续欺负很多人。

我们的社会养出了这些无赖。如果大家都和我站在一起指责他，他下次再想这么做的时候，也会先三思而后行的。
