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.

    I heard your country outpopulated both China and my own country: The United States.

    I also hear the same things about those countries in particular, especially on Twitter anyway.

    I don’t discuss world countries like that at all.

    I’m religious, so I only believe what my religion (Christianity) says about the world itself.

    I only believe what the Bible says only, but I do think it’s cool that your country is growing too.
