A pet dog society status is better than a lower middle class person in India. Trust me the online India on Facebook, Instagram , LinkedIn is much different from real india

>Shivsagar Gokul Patil (60), a rickshaw driver who lives in Bhandup (West) was returning home at 10.30 pm on Tuesday when he reached a building near MHADA Colony Bhandup. He was cautioned by a person on the road to drive carefully, “Can’t you see?” he was asked to which he replied that he could see a dog was in his way, police said. Incensed, the owner allegedly told him not to call his pet a dog and address her by her name – Lewis. Patil argued that he hadn’t known the name, this enraged Bhosale further and he pulled the driver out of the rickshaw and started kicking him and beating him with a stick lying close-by.
​
So in other words, he was dealing with the India male equivalent of a Karen.

Does "Karen" just mean anyone who is a jerk now?

I'd say more akin to overreacting to simple or even common day inconvenience or misunderstanding.

Some people use Kevin for male entitled and jerk like people but yes Karen is now the word for entitled jerk.

But it's supposed to be the kind of jerk who appeals to authority. "I want to speak to the manager!" "You can't bbq here, I'm calling the police!"

To most it's just being entitled. This guy was entitled because he felt he had the right to beat someone for not knowing his dogs name. It can be a simple as a neighbor that insists they can park in your driveway because it holds two cars and you only have one. Nobody calls anyone unless the neighbor refuses to stop parking in your driveway. Then it's you calling and having the car towed.
That is an example I read on the AITA subreddit. We all agreed the neighbor was a Karen.

Commenter saw India in the headline. Commenter had to go "India bad". That's the explanation.
