Guess in NYC, one could walk to a starbucks, on well laid footpaths, without air pollution, chat with strangers, have a good meal for a negligible price at US income levels.
But Bhujia brought by a guy who rode dangerously violating all traffic rules ... is a better life, yes.

Can answer from Tamilnadu perspective.
1. Flaunting caste as surname.
2. Refusing to allow others as priests in temples.
3. Imposing a foreign language in temple worship.
4. The cheapness to defend even losers in the community, when others have so little.

It’s tropical climate. People seldom wore upper garments here. In temples, we try to preserve our past. In many temples of the south, we all take off the shirt, not just the priests.
Additionally, we take even the angavastram off, as a mark of respect for the deity.
