I am an Indian and I have noticed that Indians are way too proud of their country for some reason and at the same time lack any civic sense towards it, they are extremely loud and extremely proud. We feel like the world revolves around India and our culture is superior to that of others. Also, a considerable chunk of the population has been sold the “India is a world-leader” myth and they think India is somehow leading the world in innovation, science and technology, human development etc.,

Now, I know for a fact that this is not true, when I try to gauge the perception of Indians abroad on Twitter, I get pretty negative results, but Twitter has nothing good to say about any group of people, so… I kinda wanted to know what you people though of India, don’t base it upon the etnic Indians who might be your friends and are decent people, but base it upon the news you read, the stories you hear from those Indians, etc.

    First thoughts are that it’s a massive country that’s heavily polluted and kinda obsessed with making money without much care for how they do it

    This is just business in general; it’s not peculiar to one nation.

    such as how much of the world is making sacrifices to stop buying gas from Russia but India’s just undermining their good intentions for profit.

    Why do you think the few countries that are stopping buying Russian gas are doing it? Coz it sounds like you’re saying they’re doing it out of moral reasons, which isn’t very plausible.
