[@aleenaprasannan2146]

I think the visible difference of 'chaos' and 'order' is somehow an outcome rather than being the culture itself. Spontaneity is very much appreciated and welcomed in India; while Indians priorities accomodating and making other person feel included, Japanese priorities not to ever inconvenience other people. Indians view public space as 'it's my space as well' while Japanese are more mindful of 'it's their space as well'. Maybe its the effect of colonization, the civil disobedience movement (point of which is to cause inconvenience) and the still fresh memory of The Emergency, has made Indians be more assertive and appreciative of our social liberty in public spaces, rather than self- restricting themselves. Somebody mentioned in the comments about Indians just hanging around and socializing in the roadside, which was something that got banned during The Emergency and still sometimes gets restricted if Section 144 is declared for a curfew. We are way too used to strikes, sit-ins and road blockades; civil disobedience and intentional inconveniencing itself is second nature Indian sociopolitics

[@SP1DYEE]

How many of these unruly thugs were even born during any of these periods? What year were you born?

Is this what you attribute to "assertive and appreciative of our social liberty"?

I was in Tokyo in the first week of May. I feel as an Indian, you will like Japan more if you are an introvert. People leave you to your devices, and you can get by with your daily routine with very little interaction needed with people as a tourist. If you are however an extrovert, and like to interact and talk a lot, you might find it a bit difficult to approach people, and unless you know a bit of Japanese, it can get quite alienating.

Love Japan. I go there on business trips. Strong homogenous culture, cleanliness, orderliness, externally zen calm, introspective, non- intrusive, friendly, highly respectful and courteous to others, punctual, not publicly noisy, focus on quality over quantity, mostly not too religious which is good (shinto, buddist, christians but some subtly deeply religious), some deep rooted hidden stuff like himitsu-bako, great public transportation, company man, a bit too procedural, non- rule breakers and hence not situationally flexible. Less choice for vegetarians - go to buddist temples that serve vegetarian food or cook yourself. Conversational Japanese is a must. Be hygenic and wear a mask to protect others, if you have even slighest of sniffle - that is expected courtesy. Keep social distancing when talking. In trains do not try to talk or chat up, especially in a crowded train. Do not just land up but plan ahead and inform your host, go only if invited and do not gate crash like in Indian weddings 😅

[@sprucesp]

Nice interviews and perspectives. I haven't been to Japan. But from what I read and see (online, books, TV, Movies), Japanese are highly disciplined, systematic and perfectionists. The making of a Samurai Sword and the fine art of cutting Fugu fish, the Japanese calligraphy, the paintings, poems (Haiku) are hallmarks of civilization that respects perfection and art. I believe, Japanese are artists, in life and reality. On the other side, India is too complicated a country to be generalized. As one Nobel Laureate noted, India is country, where whatever you say about it, the opposite will also hold true. When, former Singapore Prime Ministers was, asked, by and Indian representative, when Singapore, which is such a small country can be so clean and perfect, why India cannot. The Singapore prime minster mentioned that India is not one country, but 29 or so countries put together, each with own culture, language, food habits, and yet with something common that holds the country together. India is the only country where a Ferrari and Bullock Cart can travel side by side on the same road. I was once escorting, a German businessman through a heavy traffic in India. He asked, how do you drive through this Chaos. I asked, him have you played Play Station - He said yes. I told him, driving in India is a Real Time play station -He understood. As an Indian, I like the Chaos and unpredictability that India offers. This is important, because the mind gets busy overcoming these challenges. Whereas in perfectionist societies, when everything is perfect, the existential threat is minimal, and hence the high rate of depression and suicides. Regardless of which Country or Culture, the balance between Order and Chaos is key to address the existential threat that all human beings face. 興味深いインタビュー。共有していただきありがとうございます。世界と人間の心を探索する素晴らしい時間を過ごしてください。

The most absurd comment I've heard is that Indians living in Japan must be good at mathematics, and that only those who are good at math get to leave India. Not all Indians want or choose to go abroad. While many Indians are indeed skilled in mathematics and intelligent, it's not always the case that they move overseas because of their own achievements. I know this girl as i met her. She didn’t move to Japan on her own; her parents worked there, so she had the opportunity to study in Japan. That's how she found a job there. Many Indians who live abroad do so because their parents have the financial means to send them overseas for education and help them settle there.

[@Dr.KP08]

I mean the population is so vast in such a small area there will definitely be chaos but what my concern is there is a big gap between Upper class and lower class, chaos is more from the lower class while the upper class hardly make a scene. In japan the gap is invisible, it exists but everyone seems so similar you can’t make out who is upper or lower and people have certain high values, dignity, respect, discipline. I myself as an indian hate the chaos part of my country and hence like Japan so much, been following japanese content, drama, movies, anime, manga, food, history and language (70%) since almost 12 years now and i really wish to visit it soon in the next 2-3 yrs

[@RG-un2vl]

Interesting would be to do a statistical relationship study between diversity/ homogeneity and social chaos/ calmness and between social chaos/discipline and mental health. 1)Discipline and propriety is easy to standardize in a homogenous society with very little diversity 2)Extreme Discipline in cultural behavior is productive in certain aspects,an excess is claustrophobic and the chaos and confusion gets internalized.

No rules or being monitored, being free !? So, whatever cleanliness or despline or traffic difficulties, in my opinion, living in our country with our surroundings is best, may be for earning we may go to other countries, but settling and 'being in home' feel come definitely in my country only.

The first girl in the video - Shristi, interesting how being an Indian she had nothing good to say about India. I guess people should never forget where they are from. Specially, when you’re travelling or living outside India it is very important to showcase the positive sides of your country. If being an Indian you have so much to complain- just imagine the platform you’re giving to the rest of the world. I have been living abroad for many years now but was born in India. Instead of just focusing on the negatives - it’s high time that we should speak about the positive things too. Always a proud Indian.
