Excerpts

Indians Prefer Schadenfreude to Success

“We have developed what everyone acknowledges as “a crab mentality”.Since we are forced to play courtiers rather than kings, we spend all our time in palace intrigues, pulling people down and conspiring against one another. Our own success matters less to us than someone else’s misfortune. We prefer schadenfreude to success.”-wrote Jaggi
