It is my suggestion that position of women can’t be improved by bringing down the position of men. Lots of blogs are being written against men just to uplift the status of women and I am against this attitude. This blog is dedicated on the positive traits of Indian men. May be this is the only blog of 2016 which favors men :- 

1. Collectivism:- An ideal Indian man knows the importance of living in a group. That’s why he gives priority to his religion, caste, family, and peers because they are the different types of social groups. He believes in patience, humbleness, and tolerance because these traits are important in group functioning. He believes in collective growth and collective identity. He has tolerance for different religions because Indian man knows that no matter what path you take, it ends in God.

2. Respect for the Environment:- Capitalism played major role in damaging the environment. Global Warming is a result of the greed of Industrialization. India and China were the countries who controlled the 50% of world’s economy till 18^th century without doing any huge damage to the planet Earth. Indian men respect their soil, trees, birds, animals, rivers, and mountains. They worship them and how can you hurt something that you worship. Chipko Movement in India was started to protect the trees from being cut by the government. People used to embrace trees in Chipko Movement to prevent them from being cut. World had not seen such bravery before to protect the trees. It is an another proof for their respect to the environment. 

3. Workmanship:- India is a leading producer in tea, coffee, fruits, vegetables, rice, wheat, mica, sugar, jute, rubber, etc. India is among the few countries who have Nuclear power. Only five countries in the world, including India, have capacity to create any missile. It has the second largest Army in the world. India is the favorite destination for Medical Tourism. India has done all this in just 69 years of Independence. Indian men have excelled in every field despite having many economic and social challenges within the country. Bhagavad Gita- an ancient text of Indians- talks about Karma yoga which states that showing excellence in work is a form of worship. Work is worship for Indian men and this makes them a competent workman. 

4. Mental and Physical Growth:- Colonial era tried to crush the core ideologies of Indians, but they could not crush the practice of Yoga and Meditation. It is because every Indian man already knows the importance of Mental and Physical growth. You don’t need to teach them about fitness because it comes naturally to them. Though food habits of Indian men are not healthy as per global standards, but they are not ignorant on the topic of health. Ayurveda is one of the oldest forms of medicinal practices of India and natural cures are preferred in the country more than the high-cost allopathic treatments. Fasting is still practiced by men for both mental and physical benefits.

5. Science and Spirituality are one for them:- Indian race is the only race in the world which has accepted every scientific discovery without making any chaos. Theory of Evolution, Gravitational Theory, Concept of Nine planets, etc. were accepted by Indian men more easily than the West. West is known for its machines and East is known for its thinkers. Spiritual as well as scientific thinking was prominent in the civilization from hundreds of years. Indian men keep a good balance between faith and fact. Their faith evolves with the scientific evolution..
