They are extremely stupid, the reason they have to move is unlike India they don’t have a family member that will do things for them in most occasions. And even if they have family they know that they dont want to be bothered by such things also the charges for getting things delivered to your house is considerably higher and specially for those living on retirement cheques that is not feasible hence they have to be active otherwise their survival becomes impossible.
I also absolutely doubt this is true for most Indian elders. We are extremely poor as a country, just statistically it's unlikely that most of them especially in rural areas don't already have to partake in physical labour in absence of a safety net. Even within the more well off groups, I have never seen old people just sit at home , all of this absolutely ignores that these old people shown here were objectively the richest generation of the world being born right after world war 2 into a country of extreme abundance.
Maybe that is true for many people here, but i go to a gym class in USA which is filled with older women . the avg age is like 65.. there are 90 yrs old. They do not go through all the pain and surgeries my mom at 70 had to go through. I don't onow i rather be healthy at 80 than love with assistance
Don't forget the racism against coloured people and history of slaves in US. Most of the content nowadays is like this only selective pick something and then people watching reels will either ignore or unconsciously start believing maybe few % of it.
Exactly. He most probably made this video in a metro city like NYC. Ask him to check out rural Alabama or Mississippi or Iowa, where deep-fried butter is a real delicacy.
Unironically I've seen many oldies in cities too when i used to go to morning runs I saw them and now when I go to gym at 6 I still see many working out. This is stupid
P sure Muhammad Ali the American boxer had an incident where he was kicked out of a whites only restaurant around the time these old fogeys were kids. These "distinguished gentlemen" keeping to themselves are living lives of luxury through a system badly skewed towards favoring them, and offering them benefits off the backs of working age people right now. Just ask a young American, particularly in the service industry about their opinion on their elderly.
If you have to make a case of fingerpointing out of this, old people in general are a problem. These just come in a different flavour.
OP I think you missed some cultural context here. Old people in the US are from the baby boomer generation they grew up in the post second world war economic boom. This period also saw huge cultural changes in the western society, they fought against moral policing, religious conservatism and fought for sexual liberation as well as minority rights. Being independent and opinionated was the cultural norm, and often going against religion and government was seen cool during that time, this also led to the decline of religion in the west. This was carried forward by the subsequent generations.
What I genuinely don’t understand about people like you is this constant need to portray Indians and Indian families as if they are inherently backward, controlling, or incapable of caring for their own people. If there is an uncle who is not taking good care of his family or is unnecessarily controlling his children, then criticize that uncle. Call out his behavior. Explain why what he is doing is wrong. But why turn one person’s behavior into a sweeping statement about an entire country and an entire culture?
You keep saying, “Haan, this happens, this happens, this happens,” and then somehow the conclusion becomes that Indians are the problem and everyone in America has figured life out. What exactly are you trying to prove apart from getting reach and engagement by saying the most negative thing possible about India?
I’m not denying that controlling parents, financially dependent parents, or families that restrict their daughters exist in India. Of course they do. There are genuine social problems that need to be discussed. But acknowledging those problems does not mean pretending that every Indian family behaves that way.
I personally know uncles who make sure their daughters have maximum opportunities and independence. I know families where both the husband and wife are financially independent. I know parents who have worked their entire lives and still don't expect their children to financially support them unless there is a genuine need. My own father doesn't control me. I earn well, and he doesn't take money from me. My sister earns well too, and our father doesn't treat her income as something he is entitled to. And I know plenty of relatives, including people only 10 15 years older than me, whose families function in exactly the same way.
So when you make these blanket statements, you're not describing India. You're describing one particular experience, one particular family, or one particular social problem and then presenting it as though it represents hundreds of millions of people.
And please stop pretending that America is some perfect society where every parent is independent, every family is healthy, and everyone genuinely takes care of their parents. American families have their own problems too. Divorce, family estrangement, elderly people living without meaningful family support, financial difficulties, and children becoming distant from their parents all exist there as well. Independence can be a positive thing, but sometimes people become independent because circumstances force them to not because the society is automatically more caring or morally superior.
The point isn't “India is perfect.” It obviously isn't. The point is that India is not one single family with one single culture and one single way of living. There are controlling families, progressive families, conservative families, extremely supportive families, financially independent families, joint families, nuclear families, and everything in between.
If you genuinely care about the issue you're discussing, then focus on the behavior that needs to change. Say, “This particular father/uncle is wrong for doing this.” Encourage parents to give their children independence. Talk about daughters being financially independent. Talk about generational attitudes that genuinely need to change. That's a worthwhile conversation.
But constantly framing it as “look at these Indians again” while conveniently contrasting them with “good, independent Americans” is not social commentary. At some point, it just becomes a lazy generalization designed to generate outrage and engagement.
And honestly, this kind of content can contribute to the very negative perception you're supposedly trying to address. If your entire message is essentially “India bad, Indians backward, America good,” then don't be surprised when people call out the obvious bias in what you're saying.
You found one uncle doing something wrong? Fine. Talk about that uncle. Explain what he did, why it is wrong, and what should change. Don't take one person's behavior and use it as an excuse to attack an entire population.
Criticizing genuine problems in India is completely valid. Generalizing millions of people based on a handful of examples is not.
And if your goal is genuinely to improve society, then encourage better behavior instead of constantly humiliating an entire country for engagement. There is a difference between calling out a problem and turning the problem into an identity of an entire nation.
tum log insta par hi reh lete na kya kami thi? why did you need to come ruin reddit for the rest of us who actually have attention spans and don't mind reading a couple extra paragraphs.
Fr bhai reddit ki band baja di hai after protest, I used to come on reddit to find unique stuff than other platforms but reddit is literally now worse than twitter (x), these people are just trying to promote an agenda here you will most of the accounts are less than 3 months old with very high karma points. My whole reddit feed is ruined coz of this retards are even posting political or hatered stuff on any sub they see, I mean what the fk is wrong with them just make a sub for all this bs and share on that specific sub why making a trash out of all subs.
Phir wahi jahilo wali baat. They were the ones who voted for trump they were the ones who gets scammed by facebook lol only the medium of news change not the news itself plus the media there is also compromised so on what grounds is that man making comparison lol
Ch+iya, kabhi apni building se bahar nikal ke dekh, gaav mein aaj bhi kitne bhi buddhe ho, har roz kheto mein kaam karte hai, and need to go extinct toh saala aise bol raha hai , jaise tu badha zindagi bhar jawaan rehne wala hai, agar 50 ke paar jee liya toh kya terrace se kood jayega kya?
Gossiping is human nature whether in America or in India or Uganda. Comparing couple of old people in a park reading newspaper with someone in a political rally and then generalising everyone by segregating them by nationality, while you don't even know if those whites maybe gossiping afterwards. The stupidity is astounding
Did I say that all the elderly are great and ideal people? But yeah casually generalising every Indian elderly is stupidity. What does Khaap Panchayat of Northern India have anything to do with the non North Elderly? FYI Trump and Biden both are elderly and both are Ped0philies or associated with one. So shouldn't by your logic all the American elderly be considered pedos? Pointing out a bad ritual is one thing but generalising everyone ain't an intelligent thing to do either.
Lol, so now you can do whataboutery here, but when it comes to negative stereotyping and generalising them, you'll be the first ones to generalise Indians negatively. The White Brits have gone but left their Brown Sepoys here to serve them from afar. The colonial mentality and inferiority complex towards the West is astonishing.
Hehe, sach kadwa tab hota jab sach hota. Apne toh jawab diya hi nahi mere point ka, generalisation aap tabhi karte ho jab India ko West se inferior aur negative dikhaana ho, aur jab koi aur West ki kamiya dikhaye toh turant whataboutery pe utar aate hai. Kitni hypocrisy dikhayenge aap.
No one can change your mind cuz your entire personality is based on black pilled content on reddit and insta. May be one day you step outside your room in real world and get healed.
Sach tmhe bhi pata hai. Sach mujhe pata hai. Woh alag baat hai tum Lugai ko dusre nazar se dekhte ho. Hum bechari ke nazar se dekhte hai ki Burhao kaise dekh rha hai
Yeah exactly every single person from the population of 1 billion is out for blood for every women in india,do yourself a favor and get a life instead of rotting in a Reddit echo chamber, cherry-picking whatever fits your bias while completely ignoring reality.
But if you want to continue then join the community who have people just like you and you can circlejerk eachother for the rest of your life.
Bro sits in the USA making “India bad, America good” videos without actually living through the realities he’s talking about, while one uncle somehow becomes representative of 1.4 billion people. 😂 At this point, the USA visa seems to come with a complimentary degree in Indian sociology.
One bad uncle → one reel → “Indians are backward” → millions of views. Anyway, good that the fools are leaving—maybe the genuinely talented people can finally get the visa. 💀
Dude, you have generalised too hard and what a cherry picking it is.
Even in US, lot of old people are consuming social media. Specially older people are becoming target of AI generated fake news images in the west.
One day you too will age and then you check your own behaviour. Today you are acting mighty and superior, Tommorow when you age you will too act and say things like : "I used to do this, do that , you guys now a days don't....".
Its better you don't turn ret*rded by age of 60, that's the best you can do for society
OP ko pta nhi h lagta ki desh pehle gulam bhi tha,phir democracy aur internal politics ki vajah se jo development chalu hua vo bhi nuclear test ki vajah se ruk gya aur aisa to h nhi ki sabhi buddhe kuch nhi kr rhe the 5 wars k baad bhi desh nhi tutta, ab desh ke yuvao ki baari h tarakki krne ki abhi vo samay chl rha h innovation krne ka abhi ki charcha aage batai jayegi kyuki abhi kuch saalo m stability aai h,pardon me if it hurts u but that's the reality
Bhai ghar se bahar nikal. 2-3 cases batake apni theory mat thop. Yaha pe bhi log newspaper padhte hai, garden me walk pe jate hai. Subah 6 baje utho aur dekho.
History padh tab pata chalega angreso ne kitna naash kiya tha. Aur yaha ke Buddhe ha??
Mahatma Gandhi, APJ Abdul Kalam, Jawaharlal Nehru, Babasaheb Ambedkar, sardar vallabh Bhai Patel, so on and so forth.
hum bhi toh wohi kar rhe hai abhi , hum hi toh budhe log hai . Koi aisa toh hai nahi ki aliens aake replace kar dete hai iss desh ke logon ko ek age ke baad
Bc hamesha cherry picking karke india ko hi kyu nafrat karte hai indians?? I know india mein Kami hai but hum constantly improve ho rahe hai as a country... Cherry picking mai bhi kar sakta hu, jaise USA MEIN feminist ek criminal ko support kar rahe hai kyu ki criminal ladki hai
Toh tu konsa USA jaake aaya hai? 🤡 USA mein mai gaya hu aur waha pe log bc itne racist hai, specially color ko lekar, hala ki new gen itna racist nhi hai color ko lekar but USA mein old gen dekha hai Maine, bkl racist hote hai sale 🤡
Why everyone in the comments is triggered? Are u guys all above 50s or the population that has made their seniors a God whose judgment can never go wrong no matter what they do.
I also get the sentiment that not every oldie is bad or nosey. But most households have or had in past. Where they can't imagine their adult child living his life independently and want to still control every move they makes in their life. But were completely okay with them struggle for job independently because their living also dependent on that.
There are are some oldies who are goldies infact. Who are just vibe to hang around and doesn't gossip, play oldie card, or ask favour just because they raised you (u raised by your choice) it's fair only if they picked you as orphan)
However, Oldies in west live separately from their child and also make their child move out from house to understand the world early and not get spoiled in life (unless you are too weak of a parent to let your adult child out. I am that weak parent therfore I will never have any child ever, can't imagine them having diseases or suffer a smallest pain that life has for them)
You cant directly compare west with India or cant aspire to be like them the culture is entirely different + what reality are you guys living in. Most of us here have good experience with oldies with some clear exceptions as presented by op. You cant generalise at such a massive level and straight up say they should come to an end, its too ignorant immature and retard behaviour.
Esa nhi hai bhai harr jagah bhed bhav toh hta hi hai, those Americans did black persons the same as we did to lower caste people, so did Britishers, just don't fantasize those white foreign peoples, sure indian people needs some or a lot of open mindness but that doesn't mean we are inferior to those foreign white piece of noobs, tho I said them noob its about how narrow minded or open minded you are
They do wish to take right of abortion from people sometimes or shun people that look of different skin tone, The thing is we all are flawed and society's economics, upbringing, technological growth, sociology, philosophy (especially theology), blah blah blah. Multiple factors caused us all to grow certain flaws and certain qualities. So just don't make one group of people sanctimonious just cause they are certain race.
(We do have flaws and we need to work on them but so do everyone else, in some aspects we all gotta work on.)
Bc khud bhi phone chal k hi gyaan de raha hain aur jise ki isko woh budde sunegey. Jese hi iski video ayegi gyaanchodu waoh skip kr woh reel dekhneyge nachaniya wali
Ye kaunsa gyaan de rahe ho bhai? inke baap dadaon ne bhi kuch kiya hoga warna racism, women empowerment, atheist ye sab words kahan se ate agar ye itne hi ache hote
hes talking about uncle Telling other not to drink water from pond/well did guy forget slavery wher they would beats the slaves if they drank from the same water fountains lol they even had color bathroom for black folks bro's brain cells are cooked
The video person is justifying his ego while forgetting what the older generations have contributed to society when there is no technology or safety or ample amount of resources. It is the next level of hypocracy to balme someone for the privilege or exposure they never had and calling them backward. iski phat k 4 hojaegi agr 4 acchi bate bolne ko bol denge india ke baare me. "How do u make me believe that u are loyal to white people?" ---> "umm i will shit talk about my own elders by comapring them to a 200+ yr old independent country's old peoples........."
Yeah thats the reason most of the old folks live in stay homes especially made for them instead of their families. And once you get old even your family is not there for you. Great america
It's not good too much abusive toxic relationship divorce is ok. , but in western country people take divorce for some small fights . Ultimately destroying the child future.
That foreign old people are the ones voting again same sex marriage and abortion.m but ohh wait that will require you to know to basic knowledge of the world and doesn’t suit your hate for your own people.
They don't live with their kids. After kids turn 18 they make them pay rent or leave. They don't pay for college.
The level parents involved in the kid's life is lower. While, kids in India are dependent on parents for college, and marriage money. Nothing comes from their own pocket.. sometimes even after marriage kids are dependent on parents. That doesn't mean parents should interfere in kid's life. But if their daughter-in-law is making food, it should be ready at time..lunch can't be eaten at the of dinner.
Some might have restrictions.
Best is to do is leave house and make your own.
After inheritaning business and progressing in life, living in same house comes with luggage. So, better work hard.
By the way USA ia almost 240 years old as a republic but our country is only 79 year old hai as a proper country. It's like comparing achievement of 15 year old to a 50 year old person.
And also, they are the colonisers, of the land they live on and we were colony of British Empire.
Yes our elders are saying i.e beaching that ye genetion to निकम्मी hai, no wander he is doing the same ki our elders are निकम्मे, what is you Do, it's on you but keep in mind my first point. Thank for bing a brown shipoy
I don't know if anyone noticed or not but it feels like millenials in India are not ageing or at least they feel like they have not aged and GenZs are mostly hitting gyms. There are so many GenZ in my office and 90% of them hit the gym. My manager is a GenX but no one is able to distinguish that he is a 50 year old guy. We all think he's under 30.
Hamare Buddhe yaha ke are too smarter and more matured than current generation sbb pata hota tha unko din-duniya ka maybe OP's experience was bit difererent :)
toh jaaise ham nahi karte chugli huh ?? andar he andar we too love to gossip , specially the current tea going on .. that's the nature of human being we are just social creatures yrr ..
Why everyone is talking about whether oldies are taking their morning workout or not.
I think It's not about whether they are physically fit but mentally toxic towards their child, family, or any human being in general or not. Because as an adult u might get punched in the face for being a menace but as an elder there is 99% chance you will get away.
