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.

    That’s been a common Russian talking point since the beginning of the invasion.

      for good reason, there are people who (do support/and are) the Nazis . Hey, I know the attack on Ukraine was unjust, but you can’t ignore this

        I know there are neo nazis in Ukraine the azov battalion is open about it. However that is no a reason for invasion so it’s pretty much irrelevant every time Russia brings it up.
