Learn Indian Abuses To Win Argument

Indians abuse to win an argument in a very tight situation for their safety. I dont mind hurling choicest abuses when the arguments logic analyses facts fail. One can always say that to abuse is to lose respect. Why does one provoke others then? Facts, logic, analyses should then help. But Indians are not at all keen or patient to learn any fact new to them. They play ignorance to their advantage by stonewalling logic. Refusal to buy any argument is bound to create bad blood. The relationships are at stake, however good or old. Then follows the series of abuses which is in the guise of banter.

In villages the choicest abuses swearing by mother and sister are not only part of the daily chores but also considered a necessary ingredient of a robust relationship. So much so that some relatives take great offence at marriages if they are spared the choices abuses. They don’t feel happy until choicest abuses swearing by mother and sister are hurled at them by all and sundry, that too publicly almost shouting from the roof top.

Therefore how can an argument be quiet without any exchange of the abuses? Wahtever the sociologists may say about this habit among the indians, the actual relief over the faces of the abused persons is too good to miss. I have often found the abuses an important element of friendship. It may also be called a barometre of the friendship and camraderie between and among the school chums. There were days and times when friends were far too formal lest a casual off the cuff slip of tongue should hurt the friends. Now, we live in the times when the tolerance of an abuse is actual measure of the friendship. Same holds for the corporate world. Abuses bridge the barriers and break down the chasms into an easy friendly atmosphere in the office meetings. We can say that what the villages thought yesterday, rest of the world thinks today. Even the farting in the public spaces is now taken as a new normal giving rise to distortion in anatomy and gastroentritis.
