Major loss of izzat here

I am curious, not that I agree it exists or understand the reality of izzat, how does it differ in saving face provided by gentlemen who allow the loser to have a graceful defeat?

In martial arts the winner will often say "I got lucky" or "you almost had me" to allow the loser to save face, at least publicly, when in reality the skill gap is evident.

This!

Also, this is the response from official Indian Ministry of Electronics & IT:

…” However, some social media accounts are indulging in fear mongering about the impact of this incident.…”

Bruh, you just literally 4 as private key

Lol

Edit: removed a section as rightly pointed out in comment below!

> As someone who's well-versed with the "face-saving" aspects of Indian work culture, I can state with clarity that the statement they put out is completely in character.

As someone who's blood is tainted with teflon and microplastics same as you, I can state with clarity that attributing universal corporate tendencies to national work culture is completely in character for a Sagittarius.

> Folks in India — especially the boomer class — are trepidated by how they're perceived over actual substance and quality of their work

Just the sheer size and diversity of the Indian "boomer class" could put such generalizations in doubt?

Pause to consider that the world might appear to you as you imagine it to be. That is, it might be holding up a mirror in to your own psyche.

Did the US just export it's awful "boomer" word to India?

>> Boomer class

People like you are the ones make the world place to live in
