What does the world think of India? (lemmy.ml)

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.

regular capturing of neonazis in society.

Right, fascist countries are well known for prosecuting and imprisoning neonazis after all. That makes total sense...

Russia is geopolitically communist, even if its economy is not.

This is getting comedic at this point. I'd suggest reading some Marx and learning about the basic definition of communism before making a fool of yourself online.

Yes, fascists are regularly found in non-fascist countries... Right right. Fascists are still continuing to be found after 1945 for some reason only in western countries. I know why! There must be some communist brainwashing behind it! Definitely the hand of Putin! He is funding USA Nazi band Hammerskins too! Russia must also have caused Italy citizens to elect girlboss Mussolini! Germany, France, UK included too! USA too! That damn Putin is doing all of this.

I agree, this is getting comedic at this point. I suggest not uttering the name of Marx from your foul mouth.
