Have you ever seen a bucket full of crabs? Not one will be allowed to crawl out of the bucket and the others will do their best to pull the one trying to get out back to the crowd and meander amongst them...
Like wise I have seen in some communities, mediocrity breeds the same sentiment. Neither will people try to get out of the rut nor will they show courage to move forward. They would rather stay where they are and continue to hurt others who try to move on. I have seen actually mediocrity breed even worse - total selflish and integrated back slapping & and back biting.. What I wonder about is if this is a phenomenon akin to all local communities or a special gene driven behaviour that is very much in select NRI community which is more associated with groupisms..
Why is the Sikh or Gujarati communities tightly knit and communal while we see that other hindu communities look for building power base and controls.. Any comments? When will the Indian stop crying Racist of the world when they are the most Racist species on earth? - It is always a Madrasi vs Punjabi, Gori Vs Kali, Mumbai wala Vs Culuttan and so on and so on.
I wish that we live as one community - Human Beings and live in harmony with courage to make a call when needed on subjects that matter and not fall prey to factionalism, favouratism etc. etc
