From all the examples before us it seems indians prefer working as an individual rather than in groups. Take for example people like sania mirza, mahesh bhupati, vishwanathan anand who have excelled in their own fields of interest. And in industries there are persons like Arun Netravalli whose is the head of the AT & T bell laboratries. But there are instances were indians have performed well in teams. Like the freedom movement. Were gandhiji held the torch but couldnt have done it without the help of the other. This is the instance were an individual took the initiative and a team put it in to a successful mission.
Similar is the case with the mission of chandrayaan. Were an individuals dream was put in to action by a very big team of scientists.

For every achievement there is a lot of hard work and support of members of a team, working for a team concerns many minds to think for and to accomplish the task by proper planning, and in the best way, there are many examples of singles favoring the topic, many of us think that freedom has been given by only because of single personality, but the team of revolutionaries who gave up everything for their country and snatched freedom is a true ever example of team work, so I would opt for teamwork.

I think that Indians are well talented they can do their work as individuals and also in a team work. In both the situations they can do their best. For example because of Indians team work Microsoft and other software companies are gaining a lot. They can also work individually and do their assigned works perfectly. We proud to be Indians.

I think it is difficult to say that who is batter? Individual or group because it depends on person to person. But one thing that we can see easily that there is very few people they are success individually instead of number of successful people work in group.

Friends I would like to bring in here the aspect of Physiological and Safety needs (You might recall them as the first two steps of Mazlow's hierarchy of needs), Most of the Indians are living in desolate conditions where their Physiological and Safety needs aren't even met.
In comparison, their Nordic counterparts are well provided for. Therefore, a typical Indian is busy fending for his basic needs of Food, Shelter and Safety. This makes him more and more self dependent and individualistic, to the extent that even after these needs are fulfilled, Indians do not break away from that frame of mind. Whereas a typical American is able to work for teams because his basic needs are being provided for and he now craves for Esteem and Social needs.

I disagree with the statement because by doing work in group person can gain something new ideas through others or better ways to do the work.

I am totally disagree with this statement because in India in every field we have to do team work rather than doing it individually. In team work everyone is helping each other or not depends on environment in that particular place.

Hi guys,
In India, we have fields that need group activity and fields that require individual potential as everywhere else. We have a variety of success stories in both these fields like Vishwanathan, Indian Cricket, Freedom Victory, but the point is how many of these stories in each field outnumbers those in other countries. Its really a matter of accurate statistics if we need to find a right solution to our topic. That said, its not really teamwork or individual alone decides the victory. Its a mixture of both.

Actually to get any friutful worth following terms are required:
1. Strategical planning regarding the task
2. Hard work without any procrastination
3. Zero percent distraction in the work.
The difference here is the stress or the pressure of particular task or work will be on:
1. Single man show for the single person.
2. Group of a members show for the team .
So one could n't decide which is the purposeful thing it actually depends on the one own's efficiency of the performance regarding the particular task.

Hey there, fellow forum members!
I wanted to share my perspective on a topic I've observed, and I must say it's quite interesting.
Over the years, I've noticed that many Indians tend to perform exceptionally well as individuals rather than in groups or teams. It's not to say that working as a team isn't important or fruitful, but there's a unique strength in the way individual Indians often excel.
One aspect I find fascinating is their determination and dedication. When working solo, many Indians display an incredible work ethic, often going above and beyond to achieve their goals. The sense of responsibility and ownership they take is truly remarkable.
Another thing to note is their adaptability. Whether it's in the field of technology, academia, or arts, many Indians have a knack for adapting to various challenges, which sometimes shines even brighter when they're on their own. Their ability to stay focused and innovate in solitude is truly impressive.
Of course, these observations aren't true for every Indian, but I've seen numerous instances where their individual brilliance truly stands out. It's essential to recognize and celebrate these talents.
