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.

Do you know that the main Pujari of Badrinath Dham is not from Uttarakhand or North India. But always from Kerala !!
And do you know that the Indian Army provides security to the priest, a four wheeler and security to Badrinath Dham all year around ???
That's because Prabhu Badrinath is regarded as the supreme commander of the Garhwal Rifles.
The war cry of Garhwal Rifles is "Badri Vishal Ki Jai."
The Army band always plays during the opening & closing of the temple gates.
Assam Rifles guards the Badrinath Dham round the year.
The Army provides security and a vehicle to the main priest of Badrinath marked Rawal Ji.
The chief priest of Badrinath Dham is always from Kerala's Namboodiri brahmin community, not from Uttarakhand or North India.
This system was created by Adi Shankaracharya in the 8th century.
His purpose: to unite India spiritually and culturally. What a visionary.
That is why, you will never hear of a plan to attack Badrinath Dham by terrorists.The J*hadis are well aware that Garhwal Rifles will exact their revenge on them, with a vengeance.
I've been in a snow environment just once in my life -- 4 days at the ski resort of Queenstown, New Zealand, and I never want to go back. The cold drains the blood from your face and the grey sky leaves you depressed. It wasn't that cold in Queenstown -- just 5-8 degrees Celsius. At Siachen Glacier, Indian Army soldiers spend 2-3 months in -60 degrees weather. So if you are healthy and have a reasonable amount of savings, you have no reason to complain about your job or life. And always be thankful that because our soldiers patrol Siachen day and night, 365 days, you and your family can sleep safe in your cosy 3BHK in Delhi or Kerala.

Trump 2.0 is a CLOWN.
His 6 months in office record:
1. Russia–Ukraine War
Said he would end the war in 10 days.
Did nothing when the deadline passed. Russia ignored him.
2. China Trade
Imposed 150% Tariffs initially.
Quietly reduced it to 30% to fight U.S. inflation.
3. NATO
Said America is committed to NATO.
Then warned Europe to “pay up” or he might pull out. NATO leaders panicked.
4. Middle East
Said he wants peace.
Approved more weapons for Israel and Saudi Arabia. Tensions in Gaza got worse. Bombed Iran.
5. Putin and Russia
Said he’s tough on Putin.
Didn’t add any new sanctions. Held quiet talks instead.
6. US–Mexico Border
Said he’ll finish the wall.
Restarted wall projects but also cut Latin America aid, making the border crisis worse.
7. Climate Agreements
Said he’ll review the deals first.
Pulled out of global climate pacts in his first month. No review happened.
8. Africa Relations
Said he wants better ties with Africa.
Cut major development aid. China moved in quickly.
9. United Nations
Said the UN is important.
Cut U.S. funding and skipped key UN meetings.
Why do you have to take him seriously?
