I am an Indian,
and everyone says I lack civic sense.
They can overturn cars, burn streets,
and vandalize a city after a championship game.
I dance at an airport excited about my first foreign trip, and suddenly I am the face of poor civic sense.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I steal jobs.
They move factories across oceans,
shift profits through tax havens,
and automate entire industries overnight.
I study, compete, earn a visa, work 18 hours a day, sometimes multiple jobs and somehow I am the one stealing jobs and scamming the system.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am everywhere.
I build your software,
treat your illness,
teach your children,
drive your taxis,
and open your stores.
The world became a village,
yet my presence remains a problem.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am too loud.
The evening news screams outrage.
Political rallies shake entire cities.
The internet echoes with anger day and night.
I celebrate a wedding, a festival, a victory,
and I am told my joy is too loud.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I smell of curry.
The world smells of gunpowder,
of hatred,
of division,
of endless arguments about race and religion.
I carry the fragrance of spices from my grandmother's kitchen,
and somehow that is what offends.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I have no culture.
I come from a civilization that counted the stars
when much of the world was still learning maps.
I speak languages older than nations.
I celebrate hundreds of traditions,
yet I am told I have no culture.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I am backward.
I send missions to the Moon.
I build vaccines for millions.
I run companies across continents.
Yet a viral video of one fool becomes evidence against a billion people.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I worship celebrities.
I celebrate my favorite actor's success
with flowers, music, and a few glasses of milk.
Others worship influencers who sell outrage, turn every disagreement into a battlefield, and every opinion into a war.
Yet my celebration is the one that makes headlines.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I gather in crowds.
We walk together in processions,
celebrating our faith, our culture, our traditions.
Everyone is welcome.
No shops are looted.
No neighborhoods are burned.
No one is threatened for thinking differently.
We sing.
We dance.
We pray.
And somehow our gathering becomes the problem.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I bring my culture everywhere.
I light a lamp in a foreign land.
I wear a saree in the snow.
I teach my children the language of their grandparents.
Others build walls between neighbors,
argue endlessly over identity,
and forget where they came from.
Yet I am told I should leave my culture behind.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I live in the past.
But my past gave me yoga,
mathematics, philosophy, meditation,
and the idea that the world is one family.
The future keeps borrowing from my past,
while telling me to be embarrassed by it.
I am an Indian,
and everyone says I should be ashamed.
Ashamed of my accent.
Ashamed of my food.
Ashamed of my festivals.
Ashamed of my traditions.
Ashamed of existing.
But I am not ashamed.
I am the child of farmers and philosophers,
scientists and saints, workers and dreamers.
I come from a land that taught the world
that truth can be many-sided,
that all paths deserve respect,
and that the entire world is one family.
Yes, we have flaws. Every nation does.
But judge me by my actions, not by your stereotypes.
For I am an Indian.
And before you tell me what is wrong with me, look honestly at what you have normalized in yourself.
For I am an Indian.
The world may mock my accent,
question my customs,
laugh at my celebrations,
and judge me through a thousand stereotypes.
Yet I stand tall.
For I belong to a civilization older than empires, a culture richer than prejudice, and a people whose spirit refuses to bend.

AND POOJA CREATES HISTORY BY BREAKING 14 YEAR OLD NATIONAL RECORD! 🤯💥
India's Pooja Singh cleared 1.93m & won the Gold Medal for India at Asian U20 Athletics C'ship 🏅
She also breached the CWG Qualification Mark
THIS IS SO HUGE FOLKS! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Notice the satisfaction on the faces of Padma awardees as PM Modi honours them...
Have 100 disagreements with Modi if you want, but he ensured Padma is no longer reserved for elites, babus & bootlicker journalists🔥
Some traditions are timeless and divine🚩
Every day, a priest climbs 214 feet up the Jagannath Temple in Puri, without ropes or safety, to change the sacred flag. Miss it once, and the temple closes for 18 years.
A testament to devotion, courage, and unwavering faith.
A must listen brilliant video. On what is Dharma -- the law of universe. Jr. Stalin..first listen to this video..then say if you can eradicate Sanaathan Dharma..🤦
This kid is literally becoming a nightmare for left Liberals 🔥
After cooking Dhruv Rathee, he is BASHING Cockroach Janata Party & its founders brilliantly.
Liberals tried to silence him by copyright strike but now he’s ROASTING them at 10x speed now.
More power to him 🙌🔥
🗣️ “People used to tell me there is no future in 100m, Indians can’t run 100m, Indians don’t have the genes for sprinting. I wanted to prove them wrong.”
Gurindervir Singh, now the fastest Indian ever.
What Gurindervir has done over the last two days has been extraordinary:
• Broke the national record on consecutive days
• First lowered it to 10.17s
• Then stormed to 10.09s today
• Briefly held the NR yesterday before Animesh Kujur reclaimed it minutes later
And today, he came back stronger than ever.
Gurindervir is now:
• India’s fastest man ever
• Asia’s 2nd fastest this season
In just two years, he has broken the national record three times.
From Punjab to rewriting Indian sprint history — Gurindervir Singh has taken Indian sprinting one step closer to the global stage.

A rather annoying cartoon from a self- satisfied country of 5.6 million people with no historical or civilisational depth, or experience of handling complex and diverse societies or the depth of challenges that a country of 1.4 billion people faces.
Resorting to an offensive snake charmer stereotype of India, that has a racist overtone.
India does not need Norwegian oil. It has huge oil rich countries in its neighbourhood. Doesn’t need to charm them as India is a huge market, being the second largest importer of oil.
The cartoon reflects the shallowness of Norway’s journalism as this is the country’s largest newspaper.
@HelleLyngSvends@bainjal Just doing things for popularity. Shameful woman 🤡.
She knew well that India is mother of democracy and to get noticed in world he needs to target whatever the wrong way she think off. Helle go to hell !!
