Why is it that Indian society is literally governed by sentiments;and sentiments alone?

Question

Well dont get me wrong, im proud to be Indian and I love all of our values and traditions....but when i look around i somehow feel that majority of the social decisions taken by Indians are purely based on an overdose of sentiment?

Why is that??????

Answer 1

Not only sentiments monetary also... The over sentiments are due to the vast historical and mithological burden each proud Indian carry in their subconcious..

Answer 2

<----<< Cherokee

Because of"Values and TRADITION".. Indian Nations have had so much of their/our lives ripped from them /us,that we hold on to all that we have left. The Elders want to save all that they can for the younger ones. So that our Nations can stay alive forever.

Answer 3

This is a philosophical question requiring an answer which is far deeper than the space in this forum would allow.

Specific religious beliefs would require an element of consideration and this is perhaps not sentiment per se, rather faith and a following of such.

Google Scholar would be worth an input for other discussions and issues. Good luck!
