alt Hacker NewsIndia suffers from a widespread yes-man culture. Nobody asks questions, everyone claims to understand everything, the reality is they have no clue. Everything that happens, happens for kowtowing and ritual reasons, not because of understanding of what needs to be done and why.
India is largely a cargo cult. Not to the same extent of removedness from reality, but much more widespread and commoditized.

there is some truth to it but work culture is not "indian" its mostly product of socialist policies. True Indian nature is actually quite argumentative and asking lot of questions. same person would ask many questions when seeping tea with his colleagues but at work nature is changed. its mostly derived from survival rather than normal organic response and also inability to-do something about thousands of problem he has observed daily
