There was а greentext from 4chan don't have it so bear with me). Anon knew an Indian. This
indian would make outlandish (he could benchpress he was a billionaire, he did
arms deals with the government). Anon said he didn't believe the Indian. The Indian reacted
with righteous indignation. The situation escalated to the point where the Indian was emailing
Anon death threats. Anon responded forwarding the emails to the police. The Indian killed
himself. Anon was left baffled at the whole situation and had no idea what the fuck just happened
So, without Izzat, this looks like an utterly insane and pointless sequence of events. But with Izzat?
The actions suddenly make sense. He was boasting to increase his Izzat, and when Anon
simply stated his disbelief, it was seen as a vicious attack on his The Indian escalated the
situation to restore the lost Izzat. When the police got involved, the dispute had become public, so
the Indian's shame had increased to unbearable levels. He committed suicide in order to save his
remaining Izzat. Anon had no idea what Izzat was. or if he did, he didn't mention it. yet the Indian's
actions perfectly align with this framework. This is what makes me believe the green text was
genuine.
The western idea of merit is competence in a role. Merit in Izzat is determined what lengths
you will to to achieve a goal, with competence merely being one path. It often becomes a
secondary path, as printing a degree that says you're qualified to be a jet pilot is just as good as
being able to actually fly a jet in the eyes of Izzat. In other words, Izzat selects for appearance over
authentic merit or morality.
Now, a counterargument an Indian might make is 'Izzat is a dated or 'We don't use that
like to compare it to the word vendetta. Vendetta in Italian has a very specific meaning (а
familial blood feud where revenge must be taken to restore honour etc). This word would not
exist if this didn’t reflect a specific facet of life. is no different. Hell, Гуе had to write
several paragraphs just to explain what the Не! Izzat is. Izzat isn't an archaic term either. It's well
and truly alive in the modern Indian lexicon.
If izzat were regularly discussed openly, this would be considered one of the greatest possible
insults in the Izzat framework. Izzat is why Indians mass reports, death threats, false flags and
various other underhanded tactics when a westerner exposes something they don't want people
to see (such as the poop throwing festival). If 1 knew something like that existed in the west,
would say ‘wow that's disgusting, we should stop this’. But in India, the problem is not the point.
The point is the problem being exposed and the perceived insult to izzat from exposing the
problem. The water pipe never gets fixed.
The one saving grace is Izzat performs awfully in the long term. Once Indians displace you, they
will back to playing this insane game among themselves. It's what happened to companies that
got hit Izzat. This is also why there any homegrown Indian companies that have the same
influence as Microsoft or Google. Whenever they start getting ahead. their companies implode
from infighting, nobody doing their jobs, everybody trying to cheat each other and nobody
addressing critical issues. Systems that delegate authority and work on good faith eventually win
out over zero-sum honour feuding. cannot maintain complex systems because its players
are only concerned with short term gain.
With the west. the issue is that it often fails to live up to its own ideals. It's not a perfect system,
but we can course correct and address problems pragmatically. With Indians live up to
those ideals very, very often. When you see the dysfunctionality of India, remember that it's a
feature of Izzat, not a bug.
Jugaad as a term also warrants more explanation, but my post is long enough as it is.
