Why are there more male sadhus and not as many female ones? So, I was talking with my friend, and he said something interesting—he thinks that men tend to be more deeply into spirituality than women. He pointed out that there are way more male sadhus than female ones. That got me thinking… In daily life, I see women being more involved in puja, rituals, and religious activities, but when it comes to intense spiritual practices like sadhana, meditation, or renunciation, it seems like men dominate. Why do you think this is? Is it societal conditioning, historical reasons, or something else?... 4 24 replies

Why do Indian study subs always give out of touch advice? Anytime I have asked advice on these subreddit with regards to my field (science/research) the advise is always go abroad which is hilariously out of touch. It's crazy to me how so many people are just enamored with the idea of going abroad for their MS that if someone earnestly wants advice they just repeat the same old stuff like a parrot. **Here's the thing if I could afford to go abroad I already would have done so.** I wouldn't be here on reddit asking for advice. Also the... 3 7 replies

As a man, will the society accept me if I am not ambitious at all? No seriously, because our indian society expects men to be extremely ambitious, the bread winner & to be successful too.

So I was just curious... 3 17 replies
Advice: is there a cultural thing in India on who names the baby? I am not Indian but my husband is. Before we even got pregnant my sister in law was adamant that it’s her right to name our baby.

Now that we’re coming close to due date and have picked names ourselves, she’s still insisting on the name she likes and has made me feel really uncomfortable about the... 1 0 replies

How can I stop comparing my life to my rich friends' lives? I'm 17, and I always find myself comparing my life to that of my rich friends who come from upper-class families. Their lives, their enjoyment, and the things they post on Instagram and Snapchat make me feel sad deep inside. I'm from a middle-class family, and I know my parents can't afford that kind of life. They have big houses and cars because of their successful parents. Comparison has become normal for me, especially since my dad often compares my marks with those of my friends and our relatives'... 5 0 replies
