some incidents make me ashamed of traditional "simple" village people

I don't how simple village people can do these things in India like honour killing.

It will be increasingly hard to justify the caste system in today's time and some devotees always tend to paint a too good picture of the East and too good picture of the west. These excesses need to be avoided. I don't think the so called mlecchas in the west will also do the things written above. I am disgusted with these things that are common in India.

Some people take the family honor thing way too far.

The honor killing for inter-village or inter-caste marraige is a common occurence in the "Vedic" India which devotees praise too much and criticize the west. I am from India, but I know that there are problems in India which are as bad as the west .
