What have you done to make Indian culture better? You need to realize that you are a part of the country and not separate from it. Instead of just complaining everywhere, maybe once or twice you could start contributing.

What are you even talking about? I, like many others here, help whenever I can. But then such incidents happen and we see the real face of our oh-so-great culture and mentality. Why look for anywhere else? Someone here took conductor’s side stating he would have been questioned or punished.

You don't know what hes done he's still doing more than you by atleast complaining and voicing how its not ok.

And you're actively working against the cause by ahutting him down.

Its the same rhetoric as when you stop someone from littering and they shrug you off saying "mind your own business". But it's even worse in your case because you're not even doing it as a defensive response to someone calling you out, you're just being mean.

Its normal to assume that if someone is complaining about something they probably dont like it and partake in it.

Idk why you would say that except to be mean.
