Disagree. We are not a low IQ society like inbreds of Pakistani land. 

 

We are just an extremely low co-operative society. 

The average IQ in India is even lower than Pakistan. Yes India has intelligent people but the masses are not. 25% cannot even read or write for godsake.

The problem is that lack of trust creates a very bad public educational systems that fail to educate the relatively lower IQ section of the populace.

 

For reference, indian literacy rate as per Google is 81 percent. But if you consider below 40 age group it will be atleast 90.

Reg. You bringing up inbreeding:

 

We don't see effects of inbreeding in south Indians but in each of the States TN AP Karnataka, 25-30% of the marriages happening are cousin marriages. You can Google. But south Indians are doing ok. No negative effect reported (?) and i don't see cousin marriages as necessarily bad if there are no reported side effects. If you find your cousin attractive or compatible .... although 25-30% is high...but 5-10% maybe isn't bad.

 

North Indian Hindus have zero cousin marriage... In Haryana you can't even marry in the same village.

 

 

Reg. IQ and lack of trust:

 

Both IQ and lack of trust are easily curable.

For IQ: inculcate civic sense in early formative years in school.

Lack of trust: be a responsible citizen as taught in civic sense. That cures lack of trust since everyone becomes responsible. You say USA is a high trust society, but it has thefts, frauds, big legal system, litigations, contracts for everything etc.

You don't need visible evidence to know cousin marriage is bad and leads to lower IQ and intelligence in the offspring. And those who marry cousins are also likely to have kids who do same which over generations for sure leads to mutation and disabilities.

That's right...but for south Indian inbreeding, this data is lacking.

Good points, but TBH, i don't think many of us are even aware that this existed. So it would be on extremely small scale.

 

Nonetheless I fully support exposing all the bad stuff even internationally Including this, garbage throwing, air pollution etc.

Yes. Totally unless the world shames us, we have no intention to correct these wrongs

I don't have much knowledge about this. But isn't there some rule that one can't marry another person from the same gotra or something like that? So even if it is  cousin marriage, it will be a distant cousin, right? 

 

But yeah agree, inbreeding in any form can't be good.

Right...same gotras even from a different village can't marry. And ofcourse different castes can't intermarry, but lots of haryanvis do intercaste marriage in delhi. no issue these days.

Dont know man, they are just having fun. Its just a tiny remote village with its own crazy ritual. Even the youtuber seemed to enjoy himself.

 

There are some wild events everywhere, i dont see why we need to be so sensitive...As long as they dont hurt anyone and keep to themselves, let them enjoy their festival

 

 

[cowboysfan]

there were so many quirky festivals in villages in Karnataka,for example we used a have a festival where the diety was carried around by atleast 8 to 10 villagrers to various houses and we would offer up a goat sacrifice right there,they would cut the throat and the blood is collected in a basket with Rice and Jaggery and eaten as a prasad,now there is no festival since the village has been swallowed up by Bangalore.

Not necesarrily. Gotras are inherited through the male lineage. So, while one cannot marry their chacha or chachi's child, but they can marry their mamaji's or buaji's child coz they would take their gotra from their father. It was done to keep wealth within the family but has continued.

1. USA by no means is Phull-Trust. It has lower than countries like Japan. And trust makes sure that institutions are better. Does not make a place a Utopia.  Please note that USA has much more cleanliness and civic sense. Also their institutions are much more efficient. They produce better science, literature, movies, weapons etc.,. Those are signs of higher trust.
2. The south indian cousin marriage is over rated. Never seen it in my circle. Never seen it in my extended circle. Need to research on that more. But ChatGPT says the genetic impact is NOT carried across generations. While the islamic inbreeding carries damage across generations 

 

The issue is that some ICFers analyze my criticism of India from the angle of nationalist/anti-nationalist prism. Let's do an objective evaluation. We have much much more to improve.

Researchers are looking, studying, and publishing in scientific journals.

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to estimate the prevalence and examine the determinants of consanguineous marriage types in India. Data for 456,646 ever-married women aged 15–49 years were analysed from the National Family Health Survey (NFHS)-4 conducted in 2015–16. The overall prevalence of consanguineous marriage was 9.9%; the South region (23%) and North-East region (3.1%) showed the highest and lowest prevalences, respectively. Muslims had a higher prevalence (15%) than Hindus (9%). The prevalence of first cousin marriage (8.7%) was more than that of second cousin (0.7%) and of uncle–niece marriages (0.6%). Women living in urban areas and in nuclear families, having a higher level of education and belonging to affluent families were less likely to marry their cousins (p < 0.01). Women living in the South region of the country were more likely to marry their cousins, as well as uncles (p < 0.001). Close scrutiny of the trends in the results (odds ratios) revealed no clear relationship between socioeconomic condition and consanguineous marriage. The study results suggest that religion and north–south regional dichotomy in culture largely determine consanguineous marriage rather than socioeconomic condition in India.

 

But aam junta is looking for info on Insta - where you see this kind of data:

 

"I don't know anyone who married their cousins, therefore cousin marriage does not exist!!"

"I married my cousin and nothing happened to my children!!" 

 

etc.

Odd festive ritual that has nothing to do with any government encouragement of cowdung usage. Similar to a rat temple in Rajasthan or the celebration of menstrual cycle in Assam 

Woke festivals like this also fall into similar weird

Stop peddling lies. There is nothing like the average IQ level of a country.
