CULTURAL QA 08012024
General QA. Base Quora QA. Compiled
Q1 Is the Agni veer scheme good?
KR Again some half-filled idea of a young man. Defence
is not only a pension job as he is thinking. Training soldiers is as good
as training dogs. So, the trainers are always on the prowl of getting the
flesh out of the trainees. Hence all 365 days they are going to do the same
and nothing special. Short service commission used to enter every year and
what the trainers then worked hard, is not going to be different in Agni
veer. Even if there is going to be an add on everyday scheme of training
is not going to get altered. Throughout the world 21-year schemes of
compulsory soldiership exist. Therefore, calling defence as not an
employment beuro is calling a wrong shot. Armed forces need short and long
services as they cater to the needs in war as well as in peace. Agni veer
scheme develops such disciplined armed forces habits, ready for a war on
call as a pensioner in case of need or even in peacetime. In England it is
accepted by people to train for 2 years; here Rahul will raise the alarm;
so pension is a bait plus adding the volume of the forces as population is
growing.
Q2 What is the biggest culture shock you have ever faced?
KR Better to have a lexicon as meaning for culture shock is very
much shocking; change of machinery is a culture that would cause a shock.
How did he open the pipe when he was in Europe? Was he in Serbia or
Germany? Self-washing rest rooms are there; will it be another culture
shock? What is his culture? getting shocked?

So many culture shocks?
Q3 What should I absolutely not do when visiting your country?
KR: Enumerated below:
Italy: don’t ask for Italian dressing—
Italian dressing is tangy and lightly herbaceous with just enough garlic
and onion to give it some pep. It’s a dressing that pairs well with other
staples of the Italian table, such as crunchy Romaine salad, tomatoes,
grilled and roasted vegetables, tender beans, and pasta. It is available
in Italy too Only fools will ask stupid questions in a foreign land.
China: bring paper tissue wherever you go, you will need it if you go to a
public restroom.
KR If meant toilet is so bad well 99% toilets of the world including
the aircraft we travel are worse after the first use. But toilets are
regularly cleaned in top places where foreigners go and in all places in
China, in any stretch tissue papers are available. Tissue papers industry
earns so much money in China through exports.
Norway: personal space exists, even amongst friends and families.
KR In India in Kerala can you talk to someone so easily? Today's jargon
is personal space only and I don’t understand what it all means; in any
nation especially the USA, you, at 80 years, may not look at your nest
table, a small baby laughing and smiling back; you will be asked:” do I
know you”? So even Indians in foreign countries have foreign habitats there
as well as in India.
Japan: Don’t tip, just be polite. If so, it brings a negative sentiment of
“there’s room for improvement due to unprofessionalism”.
KR Yes 90% of Japan; western hotels in Jaan even if Japanese are
employed have that fashion; and most of the Asian hotels do avoid tipping;
many European and USA hotels do not encourage direct tipping. But all
either make service charges compulsory or ask you to add it in the module
if you wish; so that extra money recd by the management is shared by the
management with the establishment employed.
United States of America: Don’t touch someone’s children, or pat little
kids on their head, whereas it’s common in certain other countries.
KR They will ask you Do I know you?
8. Bosnia: be careful when mentioning the other Balkans countries.
KR: Bosnia and Herzegovina is facing a political crisis that some
fear could lead to armed conflict, little more than 25 years after the
Bosnia war ended with the signing of the Dayton Peace.. That does not mean
even for visa do not say Balkan
9. Israel/ Palestine: don’t show up in Jerusalem in short shorts and a tank
top (in Tel Aviv people don’t really care as much). People rarely cares
what you wear in Israel, unless you plan to visit churches or sacred places.
KR Which is true with all religious places including the church.
10. India: if you see two guys holding hands it’s socially acceptable,
don’t assume that they’re gay.
KR In all nations holding hands of the same sex are not viewed as
lesbians or Gay; once wearing an earring ring one side was considered as
Gay; now it is fashion.
Q4 70 crore people do not have toilets, why are we spending money
on the moon?
KR The best reply was given long ago by the west itself:
Have you heard of Wardha toilets? Gandhi installed; 700 million daily goes
for ablutions daily and make arrangements in a simple living; so, science
can do what they deed. A tribute to Gandhi on a simple living:
” The peace of village life was bittersweet. Seagram's calm was,
in fact, due to the absence of any real, living activity. Today, the ashram
is preserved in time in the manner of an old sepia photograph, but the
idealised
life it documents is now dead. Sewagram is no longer a vibrant place
inhabited by the indefatigable Gandhi and his devoted votaries. It is a
shell of what it was, a time capsule fondly and painstakingly preserved but
devoid of its living inhabitants and shorn of its original aura.
Gandhi infused India with a revolutionary blend of politics and
spirituality. He called his action-based philosophy satyagraha or the truth
force. For Jawaharlal Nehru, the defining image of Gandhi was “as I saw him
marching, staff in hand, to Dandi on the Salt March in 1930. Here was the
pilgrim on his quest of Truth, quiet, peaceful, determined and fearless,
who would continue that quest and pilgrimage, regardless of consequences.
Gandhi’s impact was indelible. He guided India to independence and forced
his countrymen to question their deepest prejudices about caste, religion
and violence. Gandhi’s ideas continue to resonate across the world and he
has inspired generations of great leaders. As Einstein summed up in his
tribute: “Generations to come will scarcely believe that such a one as this
ever in flesh and blood walked upon this earth.”
Yet the true reality is that Gandhi’s legacy is in shreds .It had already
started waning immediately after his death. The Governor-General of
independent India, C. Rajagopalachari gave a disenchanted verdict .It still
rings true: “The glamour of modern technology, money and power is so
seductive that no one–I mean no one–can resist it. The handful of Gandhians
who still believe in his philosophy of a simple life in a simple society
are mostly cranks.”
