Question: Do Indians Dominate Positively (Fill needs) or Negatively (Kill needy) ?.
Answer: Generally Indians Dominate Positively(90%), Indians are Honest Backkers and not Immoral Backstabbers, Except a few Narc-Indians who may Dominate Negatively (Eg. Bollywood Suiciding of Sushant Singh Rajput i.e Excellence killed by Arrogance ), Backstab their own Indian Brotheren. but they are general loyalist to foreigners & foreign ideologies as they Majority Hindus believe in Vasudaiva Kutumbakam.(Whole world is a family, there are other non-ahimsic ideologies too).
This is the Side effect of Excellence in a Hyper-Supremacistic Colonial World, its less appreciation & more Envy of the Exceller. (Eg Gukesh in Chess)
Positive & Negative Dominance: there are distinct terms to differentiate these concepts:
Positive dominance by self-excellence: This can be described as leadership, mastery, or eminence. These terms imply a form of dominance achieved through skill, competence, and positive influence, often inspiring others without diminishing them.
Negative dominance by arrogance: This is often referred to as arrogance, hubris, or tyranny. These terms suggest a self-centered, overbearing dominance that relies on ego, intimidation, or belittling others rather than genuine merit.
The key difference lies in the intent and impact: positive dominance uplifts and is rooted in earned respect, while negative dominance alienates and stems from insecurity or entitlement.
Here’s a concise breakdown of the differences between Dominance, Excellence, Prominence, and Predominance, focusing on their meanings and nuances, especially in the context of your earlier question about positive and negative forms of dominance:
Dominance: Refers to the state of having control, authority, or superior influence over others. It emphasizes power or supremacy, often in a competitive or hierarchical sense. Dominance can be positive (e.g., a team dominating through skill) or negative (e.g., domineering behavior rooted in arrogance). Context determines its tone.
Example: A company’s dominance in the market due to innovation (positive) vs. a bully’s dominance through intimidation (negative).
Excellence: Denotes outstanding quality, skill, or achievement in a specific area, without necessarily implying control over others. It’s about surpassing standards and is inherently positive, focusing on self-improvement and mastery rather than comparison or supremacy.
Example: An artist achieving excellence in their craft, earning admiration without seeking to dominate.
Prominence: Indicates being widely recognized, noticeable, or distinguished, often due to achievements or visibility. It’s about standing out in a field or society, not necessarily exerting control. Prominence is typically positive or neutral, tied to reputation rather than power.
Example: A scientist gaining prominence for groundbreaking research, respected but not necessarily dominant.
Predominance: Refers to having greater influence, prevalence, or frequency within a specific context, often implying a relative superiority over alternatives. It’s less about absolute control (like dominance) and more about being the most common or influential element. It can be neutral or positive, depending on context.
Example: The predominance of renewable energy in a country’s grid, indicating its primary role without implying oppression.
Key Differences:
Intent and Scope: Dominance often involves control or power over others, while excellence is about personal or intrinsic quality. Prominence focuses on visibility and recognition, and predominance highlights prevalence or influence in a specific domain.
Tone: Excellence is inherently positive, dominance can be positive or negative, prominence is usually positive or neutral, and predominance is context-dependent but often neutral.
Relation to Others: Dominance may suppress or outrank others, prominence elevates one’s status without necessarily diminishing others, excellence is self-focused, and predominance suggests being the leading element among many.
In Context of Your Earlier Question:
Positive dominance by self-excellence aligns with excellence (mastery through skill) or prominence (recognition for merit). It could also be a form of dominance when achieved through inspiring leadership.
Negative dominance by arrogance is best described as dominance with a negative connotation, where the focus is on ego-driven control rather than merit. Predominance wouldn’t typically apply here unless arrogance is the most common trait in a specific context.

Indophobia, or anti-Indian sentiment, manifests as prejudice, discrimination, or hostility toward Indian people, culture, or the nation of India. Below is a summary of reported incidents and trends since 2020, based on available information and analysis, addressing both overt and subtle forms of Indophobia globally. The search results provided limited direct references to Indophobia, so I’ve supplemented with broader context and critical analysis where relevant.
1. North America
United States (2025): An Indian student sued the Trump administration after their visa was revoked, part of a broader crackdown on international students accused of campus activism. This policy disproportionately affected Indian students, who form a significant portion of international students in the U.S. The revocation was perceived by some as discriminatory, fueling discussions about xenophobia targeting Indian students.
Context: Indian students have faced scrutiny in the U.S. amid rising geopolitical tensions and immigration debates. Policies targeting specific groups, like those from South Asia, can amplify Indophobic sentiments, though not always explicitly labeled as such.
General Trends: Reports of hate crimes against Indian Americans have risen since 2020, often linked to broader anti-Asian sentiment during the COVID-19 pandemic. For example, Indian Americans reported verbal harassment and physical assaults in cities like New York and California, with perpetrators sometimes conflating Indian identity with other Asian ethnicities. Specific data on Indophobia is sparse, as it’s often categorized under anti-Asian hate.
Canada: While no specific incidents of Indophobia were detailed in the provided search results, Canada’s large Indian diaspora has faced occasional backlash amid immigration debates. For instance, in 2023, social media platforms saw anti-Indian rhetoric targeting Sikh Canadians, often tied to India-Canada diplomatic tensions over the Khalistan movement. This wasn’t explicitly reported as Indophobia but reflects underlying prejudice against Indian-origin communities.
2. South Asia
Bangladesh (2025): U.S. Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard highlighted the persecution and killing of Hindus in Bangladesh as a concern for the Trump administration. This statement, made during a visit to India, underscores ongoing violence against Hindu minorities, many of whom are ethnically Indian or tied to Indian culture. Such persecution can be interpreted as a form of Indophobia, as it targets communities associated with India.
Context: Since 2020, Bangladesh has seen periodic attacks on Hindu temples and communities, often linked to political instability or religious extremism. These acts are driven by local dynamics but can reflect broader anti-Indian sentiment, given India’s cultural and historical influence.
Pakistan (2025): India’s government reported to its Parliament that Hindus and other minorities face violence and discrimination in Pakistan, including forced conversions and marriages. While this is primarily religious persecution, it intersects with Indophobia due to the targeting of communities culturally linked to India.
Context: Anti-Indian sentiment in Pakistan is often tied to geopolitical rivalries, with Indian culture or Hindu identity sometimes vilified in media or public discourse.
3. Europe
United Kingdom: Since 2020, the UK has reported instances of Indophobia, particularly during periods of heightened India-UK tensions or domestic political debates. For example:
In 2022, Leicester saw riots involving clashes between Hindu and Muslim communities, with some reports indicating anti-Indian rhetoric targeting Hindu Indians. These incidents were fueled by misinformation and social media, amplifying prejudice against Indian cultural practices.
Anti-Indian sentiment has also surfaced in discussions about immigration, with far-right groups occasionally targeting Indian professionals or students as “outsiders.” This is often subtle, embedded in broader anti-immigrant narratives.
Other European Countries: Limited specific reports exist, but Indian diaspora communities in Germany and France have noted occasional microaggressions, such as stereotyping Indians as “overly academic” or “job competitors.” These sentiments, while not always violent, contribute to a low-level Indophobic climate.
4. Global Economic and Political Context
Trade and Geopolitical Tensions (2025): Recent U.S. tariffs and trade policies under the Trump administration have spotlighted India, with reports criticizing policies like “Make in India” as trade barriers. While economic critiques are not inherently Indophobic, the framing of India as an economic threat can fuel negative stereotypes about Indian businesses or workers.
Example: Articles discussing Trump’s tariffs often portray India as a potential beneficiary of U.S.-China trade wars but question its readiness, sometimes with a condescending tone about its infrastructure or workforce.
Media Stereotyping: Globally, Indian culture is sometimes caricatured in media, perpetuating stereotypes (e.g., overpopulation, poverty, or “exotic” traditions). Since 2020, Bollywood’s global rise has countered some stereotypes, but negative portrayals persist, subtly reinforcing Indophobia.
5. Online and Social Media Trends
X Platform: No specific trends from X directly addressed Indophobia, but broader discussions about global trade, immigration, and cultural identity often include anti-Indian sentiment. For example, posts about Indian professionals in tech or immigration to Western countries sometimes attract derogatory comments, reflecting Indophobic attitudes. These are inconclusive without specific data but align with anecdotal reports.
Misinformation: Since 2020, social media has amplified Indophobia through fake news or divisive narratives, such as false claims about Indian migrants or cultural practices. This is particularly evident in diaspora-heavy regions like the U.S., UK, and Australia.
Critical Analysis
Underreporting: Indophobia is often underreported or subsumed under broader categories like anti-Asian or anti-immigrant sentiment. This makes it challenging to isolate specific incidents, especially in Western countries where data collection doesn’t always differentiate Indian identity.
Geopolitical Influence: Anti-Indian sentiment is frequently tied to India’s growing global influence, whether economic (e.g., tech industry dominance) or political (e.g., India’s neutral stance in global conflicts). This can manifest as envy or suspicion, subtly fueling Indophobia.
Intersectionality: Indophobia often intersects with religious (anti-Hindu), racial, or class-based prejudice. For instance, attacks on Indian minorities in South Asia are primarily religious but carry Indophobic undertones due to India’s association with Hinduism.
Limitations
The provided search results offered limited direct evidence of Indophobia, focusing more on trade, geopolitics, and minority persecution. Broader trends were inferred from news reports and contextual knowledge. Specific incidents of Indophobia, especially in diaspora communities, are often anecdotal or under-documented in mainstream media. For deeper insights, targeted research into diaspora experiences or social media analysis would be needed.
Conclusion
Since 2020, Indophobia has surfaced globally in various forms: hate crimes in the U.S., minority persecution in South Asia, subtle prejudice in Europe, and economic stereotyping in trade discussions. While overt incidents are less frequently reported, subtle biases in media, policy, and public discourse contribute to a persistent undercurrent of anti-Indian sentiment. For further details on specific incidents, sources like Hindustan Times or The Hindu provide ongoing coverage of India-related issues.

India urgently requires a National Men’s Commission to address the systemic challenges faced by men in a society where many industries are male-Overepresented yet homes and families remain gyno-centric and matriarchal in operations. This imbalance creates unique pressures on men, necessitating a dedicated body to advocate for their rights, mental health, and legal protections. Below is a detailed case for establishing a Men’s Commission, followed by a global perspective on countries with men’s helplines or similar initiatives.
The Case for a Men’s Commission in India
1. Gyno-Centric and Matriarchal Family Structures
Matriarchal Dominance at Home: In many Indian households, women hold significant decision-making power, particularly in family dynamics, child-rearing, and household finances. This gyno-centric structure often places men in subservient roles at home, despite their breadwinner responsibilities. Men face expectations to provide financially while navigating familial pressures dictated by matriarchal norms, leading to stress and powerlessness.
Lack of Voice in Families: Men frequently report feeling marginalized in family disputes, with societal norms prioritizing female perspectives in domestic matters. This dynamic exacerbates mental health issues, as men lack spaces to express grievances without stigma.
2. Industry Representation vs. Domestic Disadvantage
Male-Dominated Industries: While men dominate sectors like IT, finance, and manufacturing, this representation masks vulnerabilities. Workplace pressures—long hours, job insecurity, and expectations of stoicism—combine with domestic responsibilities, leaving men overextended.
No Support for Domestic Challenges: Unlike women, who have the National Commission for Women (NCW) to address workplace and domestic issues, men lack institutional support for navigating gyno-centric family structures. A Men’s Commission could bridge this gap, offering counseling and advocacy for men balancing professional and familial roles.
3. High Male Suicide Rates
NCRB Data (2021): Of 1,64,033 suicides in India, 81,063 were married men compared to 28,680 married women. The pressure to fulfill financial obligations in male-dominated industries, coupled with matriarchal family expectations, contributes significantly to this disparity.
Mental Health Stigma: Societal norms discourage men from seeking help, viewing vulnerability as weakness. A Men’s Commission could fund helplines, awareness campaigns, and therapy programs to address this crisis.
4. Legal Misuse and Bias
False Accusations: Men’s rights groups, like the Save Indian Family Foundation, highlight misuse of laws such as Section 498A (anti-dowry) and domestic violence provisions. In matriarchal households, men often face baseless allegations, leading to legal harassment and social stigma. The Supreme Court in 2014 acknowledged 498A misuse, introducing safeguards, yet men remain vulnerable.
Gender-Biased Laws: Divorce, custody, and alimony laws are perceived to favor women, leaving men without recourse. A Men’s Commission could advocate for gender-neutral laws, ensuring fairness in family courts.
5. Grassroots Demand
Men’s Rights Movement: Organizations like Men Welfare Trust, Purush Aayog, and CRISP, alongside campaigns like the 2024 “Ride for Men’s Commission” (15,000 km), reflect widespread demand. Petitions on Change.org and protests at Jantar Mantar underscore the need for a platform to address men’s issues.
NGO Helplines: The Save Indian Family’s SIF ONE helpline (8882 498 498) and Men Helpline Org (9911666498) receive thousands of calls monthly from men facing abuse, depression, or legal battles, indicating a gap that a government-backed commission could fill.
6. Promoting True Gender Equality
A Men’s Commission would complement the NCW, ensuring both genders’ issues are addressed. In a society where men face unique pressures from matriarchal homes and high-stakes industries, ignoring their challenges undermines equality. A commission could research men’s issues, propose policies, and provide helplines, mirroring the NCW’s role.
Addressing Counterarguments
Existing Institutions: Critics argue that the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) or courts suffice. However, the NHRC’s broad mandate cannot address men-specific issues like matriarchal family pressures or legal misuse with the focus a dedicated commission would provide. The Supreme Court’s 2023 dismissal of a Men’s Commission PIL ignored the systemic nature of men’s challenges in gyno-centric homes.
Resource Concerns: Funding a Men’s Commission is justified given the scale of male suicides and legal harassment. Resources could be allocated efficiently by modeling it on the NCW’s structure.
Polarization Risks: A commission need not deepen gender divides. By promoting gender-neutral policies and dialogue, it could foster collaboration with the NCW, balancing advocacy for all.
Global Perspective: Countries with Men’s Helplines
No country has a formal “National Men’s Commission,” but several have helplines addressing men’s issues, driven by concerns like suicide and domestic violence. These provide models for India’s proposed commission:
United Kingdom:
Helplines: Mankind Initiative (01823 334244) supports male domestic abuse victims; CALM (0800 58 58 58) focuses on male suicide prevention.
Context: Male suicides are 3-4 times higher than female rates, prompting NGO-led initiatives. The Equality and Human Rights Commission is gender-neutral but not men-specific.
Australia:
Helplines: MensLine Australia (1300 78 99 78) offers 24/7 government-funded support for mental health and domestic violence. Beyond Blue (1300 22 4636) addresses male mental health.
Context: 75% of suicides are male, and 1 in 3 domestic violence victims are men (Australian Bureau of Statistics).
Canada:
Helplines: Canadian Centre for Men and Families and regional services like BC Men’s Resource Centre support men with abuse, custody, and mental health issues.
Context: Male suicides are 3 times higher than female rates.
United States:
Helplines: National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233) supports men (1 in 7 men face DV, per CDC). 1in6 aids male sexual abuse survivors; National Suicide Prevention Lifeline (988) addresses male suicides (3-4 times female rates).
Context: Men’s rights groups like the National Coalition for Men advocate for legal reforms.
Ireland:
Helplines: Men’s Aid Ireland (01 554 3811) supports male DV victims; Samaritans Ireland (116 123) addresses male suicides.
Context: Male suicides are 4 times higher than female rates.
Other Countries:
New Zealand: Men’s Helpline (0800 636 357) supports mental health and DV issues.
South Africa: NGOs like Men’s Foundation offer support; no government body exists.
Conclusion
India’s gyno-centric and matriarchal family structures, combined with intense pressures from male-dominated industries, create a unique crisis for men—evident in high suicide rates, legal harassment, and mental health stigma. A National Men’s Commission is essential to provide advocacy, helplines, and policy reforms, ensuring men’s voices are heard in a society that often overlooks their struggles. Global examples of men’s helplines demonstrate the feasibility and need for targeted support. Rather than polarizing gender discourse, a Men’s Commission could promote true equality by addressing systemic issues faced by men, complementing the NCW’s work. India must act to establish this body, leveraging NGO momentum and public demand to create a fairer, more balanced society.

Smart Campaign of Empaths or Smear Campaign of Narcs, Defence of Public or Defamation in public?.. How to Know Difference?.
Distinguishing between a smart campaign of empathy, a smear campaign by a narcissist, a defense of the public, and defamation in public requires understanding the intent, methods, and impact of each. Here’s a breakdown to help you differentiate:
1. Smart Campaign of Empathy
Definition: A deliberate, strategic effort to promote understanding, compassion, or positive change by appealing to shared human values.
Characteristics:
Intent: Genuine desire to uplift, educate, or support others without personal gain.
Methods: Uses factual, respectful, and inclusive communication. Focuses on storytelling, emotional connection, and constructive dialogue.
Tone: Positive, solution-oriented, and collaborative.
Impact: Builds trust, fosters unity, and encourages collective action for a cause (e.g., charity drives, mental health awareness).
Example: A campaign raising awareness about homelessness by sharing personal stories and offering solutions like community support programs.
How to Spot:
Transparent motives with no hidden agenda.
Focus on the issue, not personal attacks.
Backed by verifiable facts or data.
2. Smear Campaign of a Narcissist
Definition: A manipulative tactic, often by someone with narcissistic traits, to discredit, humiliate, or destroy someone’s reputation for personal gain or control.
Characteristics:
Intent: To dominate, control, or deflect blame. Driven by ego, envy, or revenge.
Methods: Spreading lies, half-truths, or exaggerated claims. Uses gaslighting, triangulation (pitting people against each other), or public shaming.
Tone: Vindictive, exaggerated, and emotionally charged. Often lacks evidence.
Impact: Creates division, confusion, and harm to the target’s reputation or mental health.
Example: A narcissist falsely accuses a colleague of misconduct to sabotage their career, spreading rumors without proof.
How to Spot:
Inconsistent or unverifiable claims.
Personal attacks rather than issue-based criticism.
The accuser avoids accountability or shifts blame when confronted.
3. Defense of Public
Definition: Actions or statements made to protect the public from harm, misinformation, or injustice, often in response to a perceived threat.
Characteristics:
Intent: To inform, protect, or advocate for the public’s well-being.
Methods: Uses evidence, facts, and logical arguments. May call out harmful behavior but focuses on the issue, not personal destruction.
Tone: Assertive but fair. Seeks accountability, not vengeance.
Impact: Raises awareness, promotes justice, or prevents harm. Encourages transparency.
Example: A whistleblower exposes a company’s unsafe practices to protect consumers, backed by documents and data.
How to Spot:
Supported by credible evidence (documents, witnesses, data).
Focuses on systemic issues or public safety, not personal grudges.
The defender is open to scrutiny and dialogue.
4. Defamation in Public
Definition: Making false statements that harm someone’s reputation, either verbally (slander) or in writing (libel), often in a public setting.
Characteristics:
Intent: To maliciously damage someone’s reputation, often for personal gain, revenge, or spite.
Methods: Spreading false or misleading information as fact. May involve exaggeration or fabrication.
Tone: Accusatory, sensational, and often reckless.
Impact: Causes tangible harm (e.g., loss of job, relationships, or public trust). May lead to legal consequences.
Example: Publicly accusing someone of a crime they didn’t commit, without evidence, leading to social or professional ostracism.
How to Spot:
Claims lack credible evidence or rely on hearsay.
The accuser refuses to retract or correct false statements when challenged.
Harm to the target is disproportionate to the issue.

Practical Steps to Differentiate
Check the Evidence:
Look for verifiable facts, documents, or data. Empathy campaigns and public defenses rely on truth; smear campaigns and defamation often rely on rumors or distortion.
Ask: Can the claims be independently confirmed?
Evaluate the Intent:
Consider the source’s motives. Are they seeking personal gain, revenge, or public good?
Ask: Who benefits from this narrative, and why?
Analyze the Tone and Language:
Empathy campaigns are constructive and inclusive. Smear campaigns and defamation are personal, exaggerated, and divisive.
Ask: Is the focus on solving a problem or attacking a person?
Observe the Impact:
Empathy campaigns and public defenses aim to build or protect. Smear campaigns and defamation aim to destroy.
Ask: Does this unite people or sow discord?
Consider the Source’s Behavior:
Narcissists and defamers avoid accountability, deflect blame, or double down when challenged. Empathetic campaigners and public defenders are open to dialogue and correction.
Ask: Does the source take responsibility for their claims?
Cross-Check with Neutral Parties:
Consult unbiased sources, such as fact-checkers, reputable media, or direct evidence, to verify claims.
If possible, use tools like web searches or public records to confirm facts.
Additional Notes
Context Matters: A single act (e.g., criticizing someone publicly) could fall into any category depending on intent and evidence. Always consider the bigger picture.
Legal Line: Defamation is actionable in court if false statements cause provable harm. Smear campaigns may not always meet the legal threshold but are still harmful.
Narcissistic Smear Campaigns: These often escalate when the narcissist feels threatened or exposed. They may enlist others (“flying monkeys”) to amplify their attacks.
Public Defense vs. Defamation: The line can blur if a public defense includes false or reckless claims. Truth is a defense against defamation claims in most legal systems.
If you have a specific scenario or example, I can help analyze it further to determine which category it fits. Alternatively, I can search for real-time information or analyze relevant content if you provide more details. Let me know!

*Add One More Student Voice to the Students’ Council: Call for aMen’s Secretary Post at IISc*
Dear all,
As the Students’ Council elections approach, I’d like to share a constructive suggestion *for those preparing their manifestos*:
Please consider including a proposal for the *creation of a “Men’s Secretary” post* in the IISc Students’ Council, and formally commit to requesting the administration to implement this from the next election cycle. This proposal is focused solely on improving *student representation and welfare* — it is apolitical, non-ideological, and entirely based on student needs.
*What is the Men’s Secretary Post?* • It would be a new elected representative position within the Students’ Council. • Only Male students would contest, and • Only male students would vote for this post — similar to how certain posts are elected by specific groups for focused representation.
*Why Is This Post Important?* *1. Strengthens the Council with One More Elected Student Representative*:
This proposal directly increases democratic participation by adding another seat in the Council — giving students one more voice in how issues are raised, discussed, and addressed. It reflects the diversity of student experiences and helps build a more inclusive and responsive Council.
*2. Addresses Well-Documented Mental Health Risks Among Male Students* Extensive research highlights that male students are statistically more vulnerable to issues such as depression, suicide, and substance abuse — yet are significantly less likely to seek help through formal channels. IISc, like many high-pressure academic institutions, has also witnessed mental health challenges within its student community especially male students. A Men’s Secretary would offer a trusted, peer-elected platform through which these concerns can be recognized early, discussed openly, and addressed responsibly. It’s a known fact that students find it easier to open up to a relatable peer — particularly on sensitive matters such as emotional distress, identity, and peer dynamics — than to counselors or faculty. By creating this peer-to-peer channel within the Council structure, we foster a culture of awareness, empathy, and early intervention.
*3. Encourages Healthy Emotional and Behavioral Culture* A Men’s Secretary can: • Promote emotional openness in male students, • Encourage healthy male peer culture by promoting self-awareness and breaking unhelpful social expectations. • Support programs on mental health, time management, and wellness habits for male students. This improves overall campus dynamics — not just for men, but for the entire student ecosystem.
*4 . Creates a Platform for Positive Male Peer Leadership* Currently, many male students may: • Feel uncertain about how to engage in emotional or wellness discussions, • Hesitate to support peers facing internal struggles. A dedicated peer representative provides structure, encouragement, and leadership, helping foster a self-aware and supportive male student culture.
*5. Straightforward and Cost-Free to Implement* • No infrastructure changes, funding, or logistical overhaul is required. • The post can be added by: -Amendment to the Council Constitution, -Administrative approval of eligibility and voting criteria, -Inclusion in the next election process.
*Call to Action:* I request all candidates to consider including the following line in their manifestos:
_“I will work towards including a Men’s Secretary post in the next election cycle by engaging constructively with the administration and the student body, to ensure broader representation in the Council.”_
If you’d like to discuss this idea, feel free to engage here in the group, or speak with me personally. If there is collective support, *I would be happy to take the lead in formally submitting this proposal to the administration for consideration, with full respect to the proper process and institutional framework.*
Your sincerely Prasant Kumar Sahay, PhD Scholar Department of Materials Engineering Indian Institute of Science (IISc)
