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.

Russia is mass deporting Ukrainians and taking their children.

Manufactured consent to force kids to die for ~~USA Zelensky~~ Ukraine. Biden has already said it will go down to the last Ukrainian. I am sure you are comfortable with them dying for Zionism/Nazism cause.

Not only has Russia not signed it, Russia is actively [using chemical weapons]

NATO has said for decades to balkanise and destroy Russia, which is why Russia cannot become such a peaceful nation. Victoria Nuland also told us USA had biolabs on Ukraine border shared with Russia for future biochemical genocide purposes, which Russia swiftly seized. Zelensky even asked for WW3, so he would have used that option if available.

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.

Again projection of your own insecurities.

Despite Russia's best efforts, and post cold-war propaganda

I did not know Russia owned 90% of global media. I was probably wrong thinking CIA, Murdoch, Bilderberg and CFR control 90% of world's news media that spits venom at Russia/China/North Korea/Iran and other countries everyday for the past century. Thanks for telling me! Please share more beliefs of yours so I can know what all you people think of non-western countries.
