    That’s what I used to think before. But now when I’m in the age where I have to compete, I see everyone getting what I deserve (seats in universities) just because I’m a i) general category (the ones without any affirmative actions), ii) male, iii) middle/upper middle class.

    You know who bad does that feel? It’s not a first world country where I can choose a mid profession and expect to go for vacations abroad… NO!!. In these countries there is blood bath in competitions, in which I would say I was just good but unlucky too because of those three things

    For equality to exist in India, the govt has to cut the freebies and make the education system better and teach civic sense to the country people.

    In this country, I have to pay 30% tax and I don’t get shit. That’s the worst part, on top of that you’ll be generalized as a bad guy everywhere because of the media. The govt isn’t making laws gender neutral due to which the younger generation are scared to marry.

    There are thousands of problems in this country. Giving out freebies and affirmative actions won’t help at all

      How precious. “They are not the victim here, I am!”. You are very lucky, you don’t have to worry about food or shelter, you have a middle/upper class family, you can choose a profession, you can go abroad, you don’t have to worry about your personal safety as a man.

      Yet, with all these advantages in life you choose to go online and complain about people who don’t have these, crying lack of civic sense.

      Have you ever thought that maybe the competition is right and you are not good enough? Maybe you don’t deserve a mid job? Sucks to be a loser, maybe if you are kinder to the less fortunate than you, you might get some sympathy.

        @dan00@lemm.ee What the fuck. One can disagree with @brown_guy@lemm.ee, we can discuss inequality, but don’t forget that, in India, life can be objectively very hard even for people from the relatively (!) well-off strata. Especially if you’re (like me) living in the West, we should respect that.

          We should, correct, but not if you are not respectful of the less fortunate. How hypocritical to punch down and complain that someone higher punched you.

          Yes, life is tough and respect is earned with humility.

        sucks to be a loser

        Well if we talk about merit and as I’m a student. It affected me in JEE exam

        My percentile was 89 but still I wasn’t selected but an ST guy with 55%ile got selected. BUT HEYY!! I am the loser

        I don’t wanna argue here about it man. I can’t change someone’s opinion

          I hope you will go around and experience the world a little bit, listen to others people’s experiences without judgement (if you don’t want to be judged) and be a little more humble and understanding towards other lives.

            Brother things doesn’t work in India like how it works in US or EU. You have never seen it. I don’t expect you all to understand

            I just passed out of high school, I could be wrong but it’s not that easy for a person like me like how you think it is. Being middle/ upper middle class in india comes with many issue, I can’t write all that down and it’s not like you would understand either
