White euro dude. I am the only non-Indian on my team. I have heard the horror stories about empire building and such and was prepared for the worst. This is not the case at all on my team and it’s good work. However, I have noticed that my Indian coworkers are fiercely racist (?) against their fellow Indians. There are three distinct groups that have formed, and they don’t talk to each other unless they have to. I admittely can’t figure out how they have organized into these groups. One all have darker skin and seem to speak a slightly different language but that’s all I can tell, it could be random and can’t differentiate the other two. Won’t eat with each other. Talk down about others not in their group. They leave me alone in this completely and all treat me professionally. The manager accepts this. What the f?
India is not a coherent country. It’s multiple religions and cultures under one label made by the British conquerors
Why do they hate each other? Even in Europe with so much diversity or America it is not like this. We’re just people from different places
Caste system
you are the colonizer so they all had to respect you.
I am not British just a quiet Ukrainian guy. But they seem to not know what to do with me and just ignore me
they love soviets since you’re their arms supplier
Hahaha if there was an alien civilization somewhere, i guess this is exactly what they'd think if they observe the Earth. Human nature sucks. It's a miracle that our species has come this far at all.
👏🏻
Arguably our tribal nature and cooperation abilities (particularly ability to organize around shared hatred) is EXACTLY what let us succeed. It just fails at planetary scale.
sounds like a fun social science experiment. you should infiltrate each gang... gain trust, and try to learn why they hate the other groups.
Top 5 reasons you would have never guessed: 1. Language 2. State 3. Language 4. Language 5. State
Fuck Indians that do this
I apologise for *some* of the people of my country. Sorry you are having to go through this. If I may ask, please don’t let this be your only opinion about Indian people. Most of us wish well for everyone and want to see people grow in their lives.
This is a good attitude. I didn’t think badly of all Indians, I just saw this as very strange and don’t understand. I have never seen discrimination this obvious
OP is just looking for answers. Must be a culture shock for him to observe Indians acting that way because he probably has never seen anything like it back in his home country of Ukraine.
Indian here ,Lol, i had the same inverse experience when I was with my sister team in Luxembourg, every one was nice to me but there was some wierd group dynamic I could not figure out on my own, a teammate later told me that most of my co-workers were from different euro countries and even though it is one euro most hate the others guts, probably not as overt as what you are describing, but tldr; India is the same even though we are one country , in reality it is many smaller nations under the hood...
OP never said it never happens in Europe. Of course there are conflicts in Europe between different white ethnicities. But European conflicts mostly come from history of wars and whose ancestors slaughtered your ancestors and whose god is the true one. That’s it. Indian conflicts get more complex and have more variables. You can have Hindi vs Muslim, North vs South, dark skin vs fair skin, caste vs caste (mass killing of Dalits by Gurjars), village vs village, politics (Bogakhali village burned to the ground by opposing parties), state vs state, IIT vs BITS, and on and on.
agree with this. Indian here and its a shit show in Luxembourg.
Birds of a feather flock together
Indians are most racist towards other Indians. From now onwards with every single Indian I’m always throwing them under the bus to get promoted myself. I am now M2 with 11 yoe because of this
