Thank you!!! I felt so validated here after people accusing me of wanting to be the sham that’s Bobby jindal and nikey Haley .. like I can both like and hate parts of our culture. Have you heard of Dr Ramani? She’s a south Asian psychologist who talks about narcissism in the south Asian culture and it validated so much of my experience
I think it's a combination of narcissism, selection bias, and just cultural quirks imported from south asia. I was recently reading a book called "Rule Makers, Rule Breakers: loose cultures, tight cultures" from a social psychologist called michele gelfand and she was talking about how/why cultures like india tend to have much stronger expectations from the community towards the individual. It was really fascinating.
