网友：为什么印度人喜欢模仿西方人？
西方文化主要是激情形态和愚昧形态。这两种自然形态对那些想充分享受生活、很少考虑明天的人来说非常有吸引力。因此，由于这种激情形态和愚昧形态在印度不太发达，许多印度人被西方文化所吸引，因为它似乎提供了更多更好的感官享受。

Why do Indians like to copy Western people?
Western culture is predominantly in the modes of raja guna and tama guna. These two modes of nature are very attractive to people who want to ‘enjoy life to the full’, with little thought for the morrow. So because this raja guna and tama guna is less developed in India, many Indians are attracted to the Western culture because it appears to offer more and better sense-gratification.
Added to that the British had a great mastery over propaganda and dented some Indian’s confidence in themselves, and the Americans have great mastery over marketing ideas and products. Because traditional Indian culture is based in the mode of goodness, for the more rajasic/passionate Indians, the West (within limits) is the way to go.
What should be noted is that there are many Western people who are more in sattva guna and they like to copy Indian culture. They take up yoga and Indian vegetarian cuisine, they try to still the mind with pranayama and meditation, They have considerable interest in Indian ‘spiritual’ teachers of all different shapes and shades.
It’s really a question of more opportunities being available combined with people looking for what they want outside of what they grow up with.
为什么印度人喜欢模仿西方人？
西方文化主要是激情形态和愚昧形态。这两种自然形态对那些想充分享受生活、很少考虑明天的人来说非常有吸引力。因此，由于这种激情形态和愚昧形态在印度不太发达，许多印度人被西方文化所吸引，因为它似乎提供了更多更好的感官享受。
除此之外，英国人非常精通宣传，削弱了一些印度人对自己的信心，而美国人非常精通营销理念和产品。因为传统的印度文化是建立在善良模式的基础上的，所以对于更具激情/热情的印度人来说，西方（在一定范围内）是最好的选择。
需要注意的是，有很多西方人更喜欢模仿印度文化。他们学习瑜伽和印度素食，他们试图通过调息和冥想来保持头脑清醒，他们对印度各种各样的“精神”导师都很感兴趣。
这实际上是一个涉及更多机会的问题，再加上人们在成长的过程中寻找自己想要的东西。

Why do we Indians love copying things from everyone & end up taking pride in it?
Its not the matter of copying anything.
Nothing last to only one piece always. One day there comes the same quality person or product again.
Most of the thing which seems to be copies were develop with new innovative ideas.
First aircraft was sent to universe by USSR but one we also stand in the same category of space approaching countries. It doesn't mean er copied it its just that we did it show our own calibre doing it too if others can do.
If at first milk was squeezed from cow on America doesn't mean Indian cow can't produce milk. It was just that we never tried it before. It is not copying, It is learning and just do it the way we can.
I am proud of being the citizen of India.
为什么我们印度人喜欢模仿每个人的东西，并最终为此感到骄傲？
这不是模仿任何东西的问题。
没有什么是永恒的。某一天，同样质量的人或产品会再次出现。
大部分看起来像是复制品的东西都是用新的创新思想开发的。
第一架航空器是由苏联发射到宇宙的，但我们也属于同一类接近太空的国家。这并不意味着我们复制了它，只是我们做到了，如果别人能做到，我们也能做到。
如果一开始牛奶是从美国的奶牛身上挤出来的，并不意味着印度奶牛不能产奶。只是我们以前从未尝试过。这不是模仿，而是学习，只是尽我们所能去做。
我为自己是印度公民而自豪。
Why are Indians against each other?
Believe it or not but, every person feels the same including me! Let me tell you a small incident that had occurred today. One of my friend, Ashutosh Pandey, who studies in my class was standing for a post in our school parliament. Unfortunately, one other student along with some teacher tried to change the nominations and so Ashutosh got to know about it. When he went and tried to resolve the issue and stop the corruption from taking place, he felt like he was the odd one out even though he was dong the right thing because everybody was criticizing him. He comes to me and says that everybody thinks he has done a bad thing and that everybody was against him regarding his decisions. Mark my words, Ashutosh is a very brave, smart and intelligent student an knows how to handle situations like this. I told him to keep his calm and go ahead with whatever he was doing. This was just a small glimpse into the psychology behind hatred between two Indians. Not only Indians, people from all over the world are against each other. This does not mean that you must not do the right thing just because everybody else is doing the wrong thing. Coming towards answering the question as to why Indians are against each other, there is no definite purpose behind this kind of behavior. As you said, the attitude difference between foreign people and Indians are very diverse. I would not say that Indians are against each other, but it would be more appropriate to say that a group of people who do not agree on a decision, often tend to go against each other. Everybody wants their work to be done first without caring about what the second person wants to say. The only way to stop this kind of ill thinking is to be frank and look into the facts and possibilities, and why do you say that only you feel this way? If you feel that you are failing in life and have no hope, there are millions who feel the same way! So I would suggest that you deal with your problems in a positive way and don't care about the silly comments people tend to give to person who thinks wisely.
为什么印度人彼此敌对？
信不信由你，但是，包括我在内的每个人都有同样的感受！让我告诉你今天发生的一件小事吧：我的一个朋友阿素托史·潘迪（Ashutosh Pandey）和我同班学习，他正在校委会竞选一个职位。不幸的是，另一名学生和一些老师试图改变提名，因此阿素托史知道了这件事。当他去试图解决这个问题并阻止腐败的发生时，但他觉得自己是一个局外人，因为每个人都在批评他——尽管他做的事是正确的。他来找我，说每个人都认为他做了一件坏事，每个人都反对他的决定。记住我的话，阿素托史是一个非常勇敢、聪明和理解力强的学生，知道如何处理这种情况。我告诉他要保持冷静，继续做他正在做的事情。这只是对两个印度人之间仇恨背后的心理方面非常小的事情。不仅是印度人，来自世界各地的人们也相互敌对。这并不意味着你不能因为别人都在做错事不做正确的事。在回答印度人为什么相互敌对的问题时，这种行为背后没有明确的目的。正如你所说，外国人和印度人之间的态度差异很大。我不会说印度人相互敌对，但更恰当的说法是，一群人如果在一个决定上意见不一致，往往会彼此敌对。每个人都希望自己的工作先完成，而不在乎第二个人想说什么。阻止这种不良思维的唯一方法是坦率地审视事实和可能性，为什么你说只有你有这种感觉呢?如果你觉得自己在生活中很失败，没有希望，那么成千上万的人也有同样的感觉！所以我建议你用一种积极的方式来处理你的问题，不要在意人们对聪明的人的愚蠢评论。
Why are Indians so concerned about what others think?
They are insecure and superficial.
They think wealth brings social status. But they behave like jerks when they become rich. Wealth doesn't always bring class and sophistication.
They ask 'How much do you earn?', 'Are you married?', 'Do you have any kids?' and 'What does your father do?' to complete strangers.
They buy a car just to show off. But they rarely use it. They can't drive it well either.
They think fairer skin is more beautiful. They will hate/insult anyone who is fairer than them and make fun of anyone who is darker than them.
为什么印度人如此关心别人的想法？
他们缺乏安全感和肤浅。
他们认为财富带来社会地位。但当他们变得富有时，他们表现得像个混蛋，财富并不总是带来阶级（跃迁）、让人变得精明老练。
他们问完全陌生的人：“你挣多少钱？”你结婚了吗？你有孩子吗？”和“你父亲是做什么的？”
他们买车只是为了炫耀，但很少开，也没什么驾驶水平。
他们认为皮肤更白皙更美丽。他们会憎恨/侮辱比他们更公平的人，取笑比他们更黑暗的人。
They want a son to carry forward their family name. And this applies to uneducated labourers who are earning minimum wages and have no property. I wonder what proud family history they have. They keep on producing 10 or 15 girls in their quest to find a male heir. This adds to population, poverty, malnutrition, begging and child labour.
Giving birth to a girl is a matter of shame. I don't know why. 50% of the world is female.
They want their son to be a class topper and they put enormous pressure on kids to get good marks. They enrol kids to IITJEE preparation classes from class X. Some people start JEE preparation in class VIII.
They fake English or American accent. They are ashamed of their mother tongue.
他们在婚礼上花费太多，因为他们必须保持自己的社会地位。
他们想要一个儿子来传宗接代。这适用于那些只挣最低工资、没有财产的未受过教育的劳动者。我想知道他们有什么值得骄傲的家族史。为了生男孩，他们不断地生下10到15个女孩。这增加了人口，加剧了贫困、营养不良、乞讨和童工方面的问题。
我不知道为什么认为生女孩是一件可耻的事；世界上50%的人是女性。
他们希望自己的儿子成为班里的尖子生，他们给孩子们施加了巨大的压力——让他们取得好成绩。他们让孩子们从十年级开始上联合入学考试预备班，有些人从八年级开始准备联合入学考试。
他们装成具备英国或美国口音，他们以母语为耻。
Why do we Indians love copying things from everyone & end up taking pride in it?
In past we indians were under the clutches of colonial rule. We are yet to break open from our colonial rule.
The sooner we realize we had a great past and take pride, We will be able to jump farther.
为什么我们印度人喜欢模仿每个人的东西，并最终为此感到骄傲？
过去我们印度人被殖民统治并控制，我们（思想上）还没有摆脱殖民统治。
我们越早意识到我们有着美好的过去并为之感到自豪，我们就发展得更好。
Why are Indians against each other?
I think part of it lies in olden days Hinduism where every person is unique and they need to come up on their own and successful. This lead to castes. Until Islam and Christianity took advantage and ruled India. Their principles lies in unity and togetherness.
Modern current India learnt to live together leaving little aside castes and religion.
But still it exists and continued somehow. As long it is there we will be fighting each other trying to be successful.
Another due to population. More population lesser jobs and infighting to live.
Last one people don't think or understand and act.
为什么印度人彼此敌对？
我认为部分原因在于古老的印度教，每个人都是独一无二的，他们需要自己成长并取得成功。这导致种姓的出现，直到伊斯兰教和基督教占了上风，统治了印度，他们的原则是团结一致。
现代印度学会了共同生活，抛弃了种姓和宗教。
但它仍然存在，并以某种方式继续存在。只要它在那里，我们就会互相战斗，努力取得成功。
另一点原因是人口。人口更多、工作更少，为了生活而内讧。
最后一点原因是人们不思考、不理解和不行动。
Why is it so important for Indians to know what other people think about them?
Being an Indian and having observed both orthodox and modern people,I can say it with 100% surity that some of us Indians crave for VALIDATION.Validation from the society.This crave could be about many things like Validation related to studies,social status etc etc.
The crave level is so high that people prepare for UPSC level exams and aquire high posts so that their social status goes to high level and the spectators can say , "look look,he is an IAS."
For this one sentence,people are ready to waste their time.
为什么对印度人来说，了解别人对他们的看法如此重要?
作为一名印度人，我观察了正统派人士和现代派人士，我可以百分之百肯定地说，我们印度人中的一些人渴望得到认可——社会认可。这种渴望可能与许多事情有关，比如与学习、社会地位等相关的认可。
渴望的程度是如此之高，以至于人们准备联邦公务员委员会水平的考试，获得高级别职位，这样他们的社会地位就会上升到很高的水平，旁观者就会说，“看，看，他是公务员。
为了这一句话，人们就准备浪费他们的时间。
Can you give some examples of copycat companies?
A copycat company refers to a business that imitates the products, services, branding, or business model of a successful company. Here are a few examples:
xiaomi - A Chinese electronics company that was heavily influenced by Apple's design and marketing strategy.
Mejuri - A jewelry brand that followed the footsteps of Cartier and Tiffany & Co.
Baidu - A Chinese search engine that was modeled after Google.
Zara - A fashion retailer that copied the fast-fashion business model of H&M.
The Cheesecake Factory - A restaurant chain that followed the menu and atmosphere of The Olive Garden.
Note: It's important to note that imitation and inspiration are common in business, but the line between the two can be thin, and the legality of copycatting depends on the laws of the country in question.
你能举出一些“山寨公司”的例子吗?
“山寨公司”指的是模仿成功公司的产品、服务、品牌或商业模式的公司。下面是一些例子:
小米：一家深受苹果设计和营销策略影响的中国电子公司。
Mejuri：一个紧跟卡地亚和蒂芙尼公司脚步的珠宝品牌。
百度：一个模仿谷歌的中国搜索引擎。
Zara：一家模仿H&M快时尚商业模式的时尚零售商。
芝乐坊餐馆：一家紧跟橄榄花园(Olive Garden)菜单和氛围的连锁餐厅。
注意：需要注意的是，模仿和启发在商业中很常见，但两者之间的界限可能很小，模仿的合法性取决于相关国家的法律。

Why do rich Indians try so hard to copy American culture?
lot of them are confused, they don’t know the difference between american and english
I’m born and raised in Americas and moved to India, so I don’t fake nothing it is what it is.
and another thing Indians need to understand is american does not = white
America is just as diverse as Indian when it comes to skin color….the strongest and smartest of the Americas are NOT white people so keep dreaming LoL
为什么富有的印度人如此努力地模仿美国文化？
他们中的许多人都很困惑，他们不知道美国人和英国人的区别
我在美洲出生和长大，后来搬到了印度，所以我不会假装，事实就是这样。
印度人需要理解的另一件事是美国人不等于白人
在肤色方面，美国和印度人一样多样化，美洲最强壮、最聪明的人不是白人，所以继续梦想吧。
Why is it so important for Indians to know what other people think about them?
The most distinguishing features of Indians are they highly value their family. It is nothing less than a miracle that when the divorce rates of many western countries have risen to more than 50%, the divorce rates in India is less than 0.5%. The wave of individualism is yet to sweep Indians in any big way.
Family is the most sacred institution in India and the family includes the family of in-laws, cousins and even distant relatives. We are so intimately connected with everyone that everything which is so personal becomes almost a social festival.
The best example is an Indian marriage. It is far more than the unx of two individual human beings.
为什么对印度人来说，了解别人对他们的看法如此重要?
印度人最显著的特点是他们非常重视自己的家庭。当许多西方国家的离婚率上升到50%以上时，印度的离婚率却不到0.5%，这简直是一个奇迹。个人主义的浪潮尚未大规模席卷印度。
在印度，家庭是最神圣的机构，家庭成员包括姻亲、表亲甚至远亲。我们与每个人都有非常密切的联系，以至于所有非常私人的事情几乎都变成了一个社交性的节日。
最好的例子是印度人的婚姻。它远不止是两个人的结合。
Therefore, it is extremely important for Indians to consider what other people think about them.
They want inclusion and not isolation from society.
They prefer to be interdependent rather than be independent.
They don’t want to make their friends and relatives unhappy for their personal interest.
They seek their happiness in the happiness of everyone they love and relate.
正是由于社会纽带，印度人在生活中失败或遭受失败时会得到一个很好的缓冲。总有人愿意在你需要的时候为你提供经济和情感支持。
因此，对印度人来说，考虑其他人对他们的看法是极其重要的。
他们希望融入社会，而不是与社会隔绝。
他们宁愿相互依存，也不愿独立。
他们不想为了个人利益而让朋友和亲戚不高兴。
他们在他们所爱的人的幸福中寻找自己的幸福。
Why do Indians have so much problems with themselves and their very own country?
This is not something unique to Indians.
Suppose you're an ordinary middle class citizen living in a first world democracy. You have everything from food and water to shelter and friends; everything to make you feel confident that you'll wake up tomorrow.
Let's also say that you are a big Steve Jobs fan and you like wearing a turtleneck wherever you go. Your country, being as developed as it is,bans the production and use of turtlenecks because it harms the country's image. Suddenly, the all-giving, all-caring mother becomes a ruthless dictator.
You don't praise your country for giving you food and shelter, you curse it for taking away your turtlenecks.
Such is the case with India. And such is the case with Indians.
Although, instead of turtlenecks they take away our freedom of speech and choice, and they don't ensure food and shelter for all their citizens.
为什么印度人对自己和自己的国家有这么多的问题？
这并不是印度人独有的。
假设你是一个生活在第一世界民主国家的普通中产阶级公民。你拥有一切：食物和水到住所和朋友，一切让你对明天醒来充满信心。
假设你是史蒂夫·乔布斯的超级粉丝，无论走到哪里，你都喜欢穿高领毛衣。你的国家，像现在这样发达，禁止生产和使用高领毛衣，因为它损害了国家的形象。突然间，这位给予一切、关怀一切的母亲变成了一个无情的独裁者。
你不会赞扬你的国家给了你食物和住所，你会诅咒它拿走了你的高领毛衣。
印度就是这样，印度人就是这样。
虽然，他们剥夺的不是高领毛衣，而是我们的言论自由和选择自由，他们不能保证所有公民都有食物和住所。
Why do Indians have so much problems with themselves and their very own country?
People who do this are seldom looking for real solutions.
Most of the time, they are merely personally pissed off at something and are venting their answers and upvotes on Quora, looking for other people who would respond with "I know! Right?" .
Being a part of a group united in supporting or opposing something gives a feeling of community and helps reinforce the consistency of one's own thought.
This is also the reason some strongly analytical and complex answers lose out to tongue-in-cheek responses that are gross exaggerations.
Before the internet, these discussions used to happen at tea/coffee houses For our generation, the medium is Quora.
为什么印度人对自己和自己的国家有这么多问题？
这样做的人很少寻求真正的解决方案。
大多数时候，他们只是对某些事情感到愤怒，并在Quora上发泄他们的答案和点赞，寻找其他它回应“我知道你是对的”。
作为一个团结起来支持或反对某事的群体的一员，会给人一种社群的感觉，并有助于加强自己思想的一致性。
这也是为什么一些分析性很强、很复杂的答案会输给那些严重夸张的半开玩笑的回答。
在互联网出现之前，这些讨论往往发生在茶室/咖啡馆，对于我们这一代人来说，媒介就是Quora。
