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.

    You are the people comfortable about genocide of Russians and Ukrainians so you could continue to live a more lavish lifestyle in West.

    I am very much not comfortable with the fact that Russia is mass deporting Ukrainians and taking their children.

    India and China have similar stances on matters, as does Russia, to the point India and China are the only countries in the world to sign a pact of not using nukes first. Why do western nations never sign that pact? 1945 Japan vibes?

    Not only has Russia not signed it, Russia is actively using chemical weapons right now, despite numerous treaties about it.

    Russia also signed a treaty to leave Ukraine alone if it gave up it’s nuclear weapons, and look how they are respecting it.

    Brezhnev was a leader in Russia, not Ukraine. His place of birth does not matter.

    Oh boy. You really really need a course in history if you think all the parts were treated the same. It mattered a LOT.

    How manipulative do you have to be to claim Soviet Union and Russia (core of USSR) are not the same,

    Despite Russia’s best efforts, and post cold-war propaganda, they really aren’t. I think the continued fall from Soviet superpower into Russianpetro-olicharchy should be a big hint.

    But, as with most people like you, it’s protection all the way down
