Viral Post Claims Indian Men In US Struggle With ‘Superiority Complex'
Last Updated: Reddit user claims that many desi people in America act like other Indians owe them something just because they exist. Living and working in a foreign country is seen as a big success by many people. But for some, it creates a feeling of superiority, especially toward fellow Indians. A recent post on Reddit by an Indian man living in the United States has caught a lot of attention. According to the individual, many desi people in America act like other Indians owe them something just because they exist. When Indians meet, instead of being friendly, they ask many personal questions about family, job, money and relationships. In groups with different people, some Indian men try to act more important than others, in the hope of impressing non Indians, especially white women. The individual explained, 'Indians in the USA, harsh truth. Many Indians in America operate with a twisted sense of entitlement, as if every other Indian owes them something just for existing. If you're successful, they think it should somehow benefit them. Privacy? Forget it. When Indians meet other Indians, they turn into interrogators, digging into your personal life, family, job, income, relationships, even your grades. But it's not curiosity, it's data collection for self-gain, gossip or sabotage." 'In mixed groups, Indian men suddenly develop a superiority complex, at the expense of their own. Instead of showing solidarity, they try to outshine fellow Indians just to impress non Indians, especially white women. Their tactic? Undermine other Indians to appear more 'refined' or 'cool.' It's not just pathetic, it's destructive," the Redditor added. Reacting to the post, a user wrote, 'I think you need to change the friends or networking group." Another shared, 'One time I was in a relationship with an American woman who was much older than I. The amount of stares and judgment I got from Indian men was annoying. I expected this, but it came from our own. Some even went to pass on various kinds of comments and to tell how lucky I was to get a white woman who has experience and I should marry her immediately to secure a green card." 'Embrace liberty and individuals as individuals. Stop with group identity, I guess," a comment read. An individual stated, 'Shouldn't we treat everyone equally in the workplace, regardless of background? While I understand why some Indians might feel a sense of solidarity with each other, especially when working abroad, isn't it also important to integrate and connect with everyone around us, not just those from our community?" One more added that when a group of male friends is hanging out and a few women join in, some of the men start putting each other down just to look better in front of the women. But most people can notice this kind of behaviour. When someone tries to make another person look bad in front of others, it usually backfires. Everyone, including both men and women, silently judges the person who is speaking negatively. The best way to deal with such situations is to slowly step away and not take part in the drama. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Concerns that ALN sessions at Splash Pad could be cancelled
The splashpad runs specific sessions for children with disabilities and ALN to use the space, giving them a stress-free experience with less children using the park. Parents of those with ALN have voiced their concerns and highlighted the discriminatory comments that have been overheard and directed at these sessions. These same parents are now becoming increasingly apprehensive to visit the park, as inappropriate behaviour from other parents who are unable to use the site for ALN sessions has increased. One parent, who wishes to remain anonymous, said: 'I'm a bit scared to go back down there. 'I don't want to go there just to sit and listen to people slag off my kid because he's disabled - a lot of us don't have the energy to go there and get shouted at anymore. 'I'm just worried that people like me aren't going because they're scared and we're scared that less people going to ALN sessions means that they'll stop or cut the sessions.' Parents are still feeling the effects of offensive comments directed at their children (Image: NQ) A Newport City Council meeting this week passed a Notice of Motion to promote neurodiversity inclusivity in the city. This motion will make the city more accessible for those with additional learning needs and create a neurodiverse-friendly city. This 'requires a comprehensive approach that involves both raising public awareness and understanding and designing spaces that accommodate the specific challenges faced by neurodiverse individuals and their families'. As the hot weather persists and sessions at the splashpad become increasingly popular with new opening hour increases, parents are urged to response 'with kindness and compassion' to those with ALN. Councillor Laura Lacey, cabinet member for social services in Newport, said: 'It's just about getting people to understand. The city needs to be tolerant and compassionate. 'It would be nice if parents of non ALN children stuck up for those with ALN children, so they don't have to fight for their own kids. 'The people who are saying and doing these things are the ones who should be pointed and looked at, not the children trying to enjoy these sessions.' Newport's splash pad will be open until 6PM every day from Monday 21 July to the end of the summer holidays. From Monday, the booking system will be extended to cover the weekday morning 10-11AM relaxed sessions for those with ALN.

Kanehsatake marks 35th anniversary of Siege
Just days before turning 80, John Cree was one of the Kanehsata'kehró:non who marched through the shady Pines and the sweltering heat of Oka streets to commemorate the Siege of Kanehsatake. For him, it's about relighting the fire that was lit in 1990. 'It's the fire of defiance, that this is our land, not their land. It's our land. We have to reassert that and let them know that we didn't go to bed and fall asleep,' he said. 'We still remember what they did. We're trying to teach our young generation what it means to stand up and say no.' By walking, he hopes to set an example to younger Kanehsata'kehró:non that if a man of his age can do it, so can they. 'I think I'm at the edge of the road, but as long as I can walk and my mouth can flip and flap and make all kinds of noises, I'll still do it,' he said. Cree was just one of about 50 community members who turned out on July 11 to remember what took place in 1990 and to demonstrate that the Kanien'kehá:ka of Kanehsatake are still taking a stand for their territory. 'I wanted to be here because myself and a few of my friends, we were the original 11 women up in the front,' said Shirley Bonspille, one of the organizers of the march. 'We took the front lines that day, and we just wanted to come together and remember why we were there, what we were standing up for, and to let people know that we are still here and we are still fighting for our lands.' The march began at the lacrosse box at 10 a.m., moving through the Pines, down residential streets, and stopping at l'Annonciation and Highway 344 before going up the hill back to the lacrosse box. 'It's all about remembering that day and what happened to us that day. Some of it I can't remember still, like a blackout. I have good memories, and I have bad memories,' she said. 'We all came together as one and we fought together as one to let everybody know that Indigenous Peoples are still here, and we're still fighting, for 500 years or more, for our lands.' Cree remembers 1990 as an experience that fortified his already strong convictions about what it means to be Onkwehón:we. 'I believed in our rights and our culture and who we are, but it even strengthened me that I needed to try to have the young ones understand how important it is, and be proud,' he said. 'You can work in white society, you can speak their language - I speak three languages. You can work there, but don't ever give up who you are as a Kanien'kehá:ka person. Follow your ways. That's the only way you're going to find yourself, the pride that you're looking for. It's not in the churches; it's in your custom, the language, everything. That's where it is.' While many of the marchers were too young to have witnessed the events of 1990, they expressed a desire to carry forward a legacy they grew up with at home, in many cases passing this legacy on to the next generation, with several young children being pushed in strollers or pulled in wagons. 'I remember taking these walks with my parents when I was a young kid, so I'm trying to teach my kids about the history and why it's important to remember the day and what happened,' said Kimberly Simon. 'I think it's really important because we'll probably hear less and less about it as time goes on. It's important to teach them the history of their community and what happened and how they're lucky to still have this land today to enjoy,' she added. 'It feels good because we're not usually unified on many things, so it's nice to see everybody just come together for something important.' Kahontóktha Beauvais said that even though the summer of 1990 was five years before she was born, she is keenly aware of the significance of the events, not least because the Oka Golf Club had threatened to desecrate the cemetery where Kanehsatake's ancestors are buried, including many members of her own family. 'It was very traumatic for our people, but we're still here. We're still letting them know that they can't just take what's ours and get away with it,' said Beauvais, who spoke of her appreciation for being able to march with her fellow community members. 'This walk is healing, it's healing for me,' she said. 'It's nice to see everybody here. We're all supporting each other, supporting those who've passed on that fought for this land for us and our future generations. I'm very proud to walk, proud that my parents, my cousins, my uncle fought in the Oka Crisis, and I'm glad that he did, because if you didn't then you wouldn't have that.' For Cree, seeing Kanehsata'kehró:non across generations march together for this commemoration is something he felt in his heart as he walked. 'It makes me feel proud that somewhere along the way, they heard some of the words we spoke, not just me, but other elders,' he said. marcus@ Marcus Bankuti, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter Error!

Kuwait tightens grip on foreign property access
KUWAIT CITY, July 16: In a new regulatory move aimed at organizing the real estate market and improving the investment environment, Minister of Justice Counselor Nasser Al-Sumait announced that a draft decree has been submitted to the Fatwa and Legislation Department regarding controls on real estate ownership by foreigners through companies listed on the Boursa Kuwait and real estate funds. Al-Sumait explained that the draft decree was prepared under the provisions of Decree-Law No. 7/2025, which regulates real estate ownership, and is now pending approval by the Council of Ministers. The objective is to strike a delicate balance between attracting organized real estate investment and protecting the demographic structure as well as preventing the exploitation of residential properties for purely commercial or investment purposes. The decree takes into account the legal frameworks specific to citizens of the Gulf Cooperation Council countries and preserves the privileges granted to them regarding real estate ownership in Kuwait. The decree includes the following articles: Article 1: Companies listed on the stock exchange with non-Kuwaiti shareholders, as well as licensed real estate funds with non-Kuwaiti unit holders, may own real estate if their objectives include real estate dealings. The provisions of this paragraph do not affect the right of units supervised by the Central Bank of Kuwait or others to own real estate, per the law of the Central Bank of Kuwait or any other applicable legislation. Article 2: Persons licensed by the Capital Markets Authority (CMA) to practice the activity of investment portfolio managers may open and manage investment portfolios for non-Kuwaiti clients. These portfolios may include securities issued by companies listed on the stock exchange whose objectives include real estate dealings or units of real estate funds. Article 3: Listed companies, real estate funds, and investment portfolios licensed by the relevant regulatory authorities in Kuwait are prohibited from engaging in any transactions involving real estate, plots, or land designated for private residential purposes, whether by sale, purchase, mortgage, transfer of rights, authorization to dispose of the property to a third party, or acceptance of such authorization on behalf of a third party, except for the exceptions granted to units supervised by the Central Bank of Kuwait or any other exceptions specified by law. Article 4: Ownership of any real estate shares in kind may not be transferred to non- Kuwaitis in the event of the liquidation of a listed company or real estate fund, without prejudice to their right to receive an amount equivalent to their share of the liquidation proceeds, unless they have legal grounds permitting such ownership following the applicable laws. Article 5: The provisions of this decree shall not affect the treatment of Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) citizens as Kuwaitis, per the relevant regulations. Nor shall they affect any provisions regulating real estate ownership contained in other laws. Such cases shall remain subject to the provisions of the laws, regulations, and decisions governing them. Article 6: Each minister, within their respective jurisdiction, shall implement this decree, which shall take effect from the date of its publication in the official gazette 'Kuwait Al-Youm'.
