tl;dr because of population, people step on each other to feel 'successful' and get approved by their family/peers.

unfortunately this happens in many places if not all. (eg same cr*p applies here in Turkey, if you're male and not a doctor or engineer or government employee, basically seen as failure)

it is apperantly much more visible/causing problem because of lack of resources, strict cultural values as well as driven by high population

Belgium and the Netherlands have a higher population density, the flanders subregion even more so, you don't see such behaviour propagate there in such prevalence.

The point is life-quality is way less than Netherlands or Belgium.

Ofc when I throw party in my studio apartment, It becomes one of the most dense places in the world. But that does not result people fighting for beers, as long as there are enough beers in the fridge ;)

Essentially, there are a few beers in India's fridge. That results in a fistfight.
