Is Izzat a real social phenomenon that influences the behaviour of Pajeeets or is it a 4chan maymay?
>>
I actually know some Indian people and when I asked them about it none of them had ever heard of it
>inb4 they're lying
Well I trust people I actually know a bit more than anonymous strangers
Plus I've never seen any good evidence of this presented, it seems to all stem from a greentext or something
And I can't really figure out how it would work in theory, anons on this board imagine that there's like a number system but that doesn't make any sense
>>
It's a real thing everyone craves it. No izzat, no life
>>
>>534475886
Can you give some examples?
>>
>>534475886
what about jugaad?

India is the proof that it's real

>>534475907
Izzat just means reputation, honor, status dude.

You act cheap you lose izzat you act badass and cool you gain izzat. Bruh
>>
>>534475922
jugaad is real thing it's just making a thing work with whatever you have (usually cheap and less resources) without needing fancy stuff

You should gain some izzat like this guy

>>534476008
I gain izzat by fucking your mom and white pussy. I gain izzat by scamming tf out of you whytie. I gain izzat by taking pictures with white girls. if migrate to a white country, Unlimited Izzat.

It's real. I work on the railway here. They deliberately litter and trash the coaches. They'll sleep across other people's reserved seats. They'll bring a dozen suitcases on with them to smuggle shit back to India and leave no room for anyone else. They almost never pay for a ticket either.
>>
>>534475940
Give some examples of you got Izzat and lowered someone else's Izzat
>>
>>534475740
It just means respect, basically they think too highly of themselves to do menial work like cleaning. It's ironic isn't it, we end up living like we have no self respect.

You can just ask ChatGPT bruh and it will tell you
>“Izzat” is one of those words that doesn’t translate neatly into a single English term, but you can get close by thinking of it as a mix of **honor, respect, reputation, and social dignity**.

In many Indian (and broader South Asian) contexts, izzat isn’t just about how you see yourself—it’s about **how others see you and your family**. It’s social currency. People often make decisions not only based on personal preference, but on how those choices will affect their izzat in the eyes of relatives, neighbors, or the community.

A simple way to explain it to someone unfamiliar:

* Imagine your reputation isn’t just personal—it’s **shared with your whole family**.
* Your actions can **raise or damage that shared reputation**.
* Things like career choices, relationships, behavior in public, and even how you speak to elders can all impact izzat.

For example:

* A “good” job, polite behavior, and following social norms can **increase izzat**.
* Scandals, public conflict, or going against strong cultural expectations can be seen as **losing izzat**.

It can be positive—encouraging responsibility, respect, and community-minded behavior. But it can also be restrictive, because people may feel pressured to conform or hide personal choices to “protect” izzat.

If you want a one-line version:
**Izzat = your and your family’s social honor and reputation, constantly judged by the community.**
The only thing chatgpt told wrong is that in reality we think being a badass and cool (fighting and having political connections, having guns or power or doing any cool rich stuff) is gaining izzat while being a middle class wimp who lives normal life is not much of izzat.
>>
>>534475875
counterpoint: if you asked north italian normalfags about omerta 300 years ago, they probably wouldn't know what the fuck you're talking about

>>534476203
I beat up somebody on some quarrel I gain izzat he loses izzat.


I get a bigger car than my neighbour i gain izzat he lost izzat.

I have some connections in higher places means I have better izzat.

More money more izzat


More cool stuff more izzat.

Acting like macho = more izzat
Acting like a polite normie humble = eww.
>>
>>534475740
No idea, desu, but from what I see/experience of them, it wouldn't surprise me. There's something very offputting about how Indians communicate (for me, subjectively).

I'd imagine that Izzat is an academic terms used to deescribe aspects of their culture, which probably differs a lot from state to state (India is a new concept, ironically invented by the British, and as effectively an imperial construuct, similar to the USA).

Indians you speak to probably have lost an element of their original culture in the face of globalism, and have probably just maintained mannerisms and quirks. The origins probably still thrive among the poor in slums and rural areas.
>>
In india people will treat you based on your izzat. It doesn't matter if you're good person or bad person that shit is cringe.

You have more money, more power more cool stuff you are treated better.

You are poor, middle class no power no cool stuff you are treated like shit.

That's why indians simp for white skin and white people while treating our own like shit.
>>
>>534475740
i dont get it. other countries dont pile their trash up in one spot?
>>
>>534476559
Oh yeah and higher caste = higher izzat. Nowdays money and power overrides everything. But caste is still relevant
>>
>>534476651
It's sometimes done around the places where lower caste people live as a form of public humiliation.
>>
>>534476462
>act macho
Because you truly are not, you have to act it. That's retarded anyways, be polite.
-500 izzat

>>534475740
Everyone has a sense of izzat except for white christians. They might not call it that but it is there.
>>
>>534476913
On internet it's dubbed as 'aura' for now.
>>
>>534476913
I don't think izzat is an exclusively Indian concept. It's like reputation or "face". The problem is how a culture acquires or reacts to it.

In hindi the word is sammaan

I recommend to read this as it's a total eye opener to understand what ze Indian is all about. To understand the Indian mindset is like discovering a new species!

It's very real, just a part of their culture, not like a literal points system that is the meme version

Sandnigger word izzat, you should know about it Mr Sad dick khan

>>534475740
It's an observation of Hindu behaviour.
Bragging and blasting at all costs in situations where you should be eating humble pie. That's all it is.
But it's funny because they think it makes them look strong, when the psychological effect is that they look pathetically retarded and unreliable.

do you loose izzat if you poop in a toilet? I don't get how y'all can be so pressed for status but you still poop in the open, like are you just too low IQ to get that there's no amount of flex that will balance out the street pooping? not even trying to dunk on ya bro just genuinely curious.

I have a friend who I grew up with who is in an Indian family to the point where I dont even think the mother speaks english. He waid it was real and pointed out an instance of it when I was buying stuff that I didnt pick up on
>indian cashier tries to make small talk saying words like "boss" and I give one word response, Im just buying a drink
>he leans into a box of sweets and crap and grabs them in his hand "you buying yes?"
>"no"
>he then slaps the sweets and shit back in the box and snaps the money out of my hand while looking up at the ceiling and flicks his wrist when putting it in the register, again, while looking off in the distance
>thought nothing of it, just rude cunt
>Indian friend with me laughed and said "that was izzat farming" as I had obviously brought it up to him before he told me what it was with an example this time
>"if they think someone is trying to be cool, they think they can be cooler by being flippant and ignoring people, when you told him you didnt want to buy the stuff he was holding you effectively told him that youre cooler than him because he couldnt get you to buy whatever he was selling"
>"its the attitude that has people walking infront of trains, they are showing they dont care about anything"

So now I just keep an eye out for it, and yes, youll see them do this shit where theyll pretend to ignore you and act like noone is around them while doing anything. Bare in mind, my Indian friend said this shit is fucking retarded and is the equivelent of black people boasting about how many times they have been in altercations with police. Only retards that are on the same level care about this, most people dont, the people that do are subhuman.
