I’m American.
After my PhD, I went to India.
What I experienced dismantled my Western worldview.
Here are 8 lessons that permanently rewired how I see life:👇
1. Death is not hidden from life.
China 🇨🇳 has influenced the entire world through TikTok propaganda that they are 30 years ahead of the World, but this is what China's daily trains Journey actually look like.
another WHlTE tourist wrecking public property and fighting with locals in Vietnam
but as usual it won’t go viral cuz its not a clip of Indians dancing 🥀
A French moto vlogger "Frenchy" was traveling through India on his bike, He had a lump on his neck. Curious about the cost and process to remove it, he inquired locally and was quoted just $500 for the treatment.
Stunned by both the price and the short waiting time, he went ahead with the procedure. Within a week, the lump was removed. He documented the whole journey on camera.
He later shared that the same type of surgery in Australia after an accident had cost him $12,000.
If manufactured online hate and negative perceptions in the West didn’t exist, India could easily be earning hundreds of billions of dollars every year from medical tourism alone.
And this is why India needs to fight bad image/perception, that is being promoted by India's adversaries.
Indian-origin Rushabh Patel gave his life saving two strangers in the UK.
28-year-old Rushabh was enjoying a picnic with his wife Mili and 18-month-old daughter Vrumi when he saw two people struggling in the water near Milton Keynes.
Without hesitation, he jumped in to save them. Rushabh suffered a cardiac arrest during the rescue and tragically passed away days later.
Even in death, he saved 5 more lives through organ donation.
Yet don't expect this story to dominate global headlines. Acts of extraordinary courage by Indians rarely receive the same attention that anti-India narratives do.
Indian-American couple Brij Agarwal and Sunita Agarwal have donated $5.5 million to expand healthcare services in Texas, including support for St. Luke's Health–Sugar Land Hospital and a new primary care clinic.
Funny how stories like this rarely go viral. The same people obsessed with pushing anti-India narratives won't be making podcasts or headlines about Indian-Americans funding hospitals, improving healthcare access, and giving back to the communities that helped them succeed.
The donation is the largest single gift in the hospital's history, with its main patient tower and pavilion now being named in the Agrawals' honour.
Fair question 🤔
When an Indian name pops up in a fraud case - true or not - the outrage machine screams nonstop.
But a Pakistani national allegedly orchestrating a **$650 MILLION** Arizona Medicaid fraud scheme?
Crickets from the groypers, @SaraGonzalesTX, and certain Fox News voices.
Farrukh Jarar Ali (operating from Pakistan) stands accused of billing taxpayers for fake addiction treatment services at 41+ clinics - targeting vulnerable patients including Native Americans. $650M in false claims.
Glad @RepDavid is shining a light on it.
Fraud is fraud. Enforce the law equally - or admit the selective outrage was never about protecting taxpayers.
@carlwheless@grok Many of your countrymen just say this bcos they want to appear patriotic, but I say this to u because in choosing to do what is right, you set the example all soldiers and civilians ought to follow, both in service of their own countries & humanity: thank you for your service! 🫡
@carlwheless@elonmusk@nikitabier@nikitabier is probably the fuck that’s going on here. He’s in on the take from the anti-Indian propaganda money from the Pakistani DGISPR, probably.
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.
Jai Hind
@greatprussia91@ifpost47 God also seems to have created talking pedo pigs like you so at least Indians are humans, compared to childfuckers and grooming gangbanging mulla inbreeds like you.
@hedger_stephen@elonmusk Racism is not free speech, you dumb cunt. Being a white American, you are statistically proven to be slimier, more disgusting, rapey and pedophilic by nature, and Indians are far better than you.
Reminder to every business owner: you are under NO obligation to allow random activists, influencers, or self-appointed investigators onto private property or into your office without proper legal authority.
If someone shows up demanding Public Access Files, stay calm and professional:
— Ask for identification
— Ask who they represent
— Record the interaction
— Decline entry to non-public areas
— Offer lawful compliance through counsel if appropriate
— Have your attorney handle document requests
Public Access Files are governed by specific DOL rules, not social media ambush tactics.
And if false statements, selective editing, trespassing, harassment, or defamatory claims damage your business, there may absolutely be legal remedies available.
America is a country of laws and due process, not trial-by-viral-video.
In Texas, homeowners generally have strong private property protections. A clearly visible ‘No Soliciting’ or ‘No Trespassing’ sign can help establish notice that entry is not permitted. If someone refuses to leave after being told to do so, that can potentially become criminal trespass territory under Texas law.
James is right. If you are an employer and LCA Barbie shows up (or someone like her), you have no legal obligation to answer questions.
Public Access Files must be made available within one business day of receipt of a request. If some bimbo asks about those, provide a corporate email address or a business card for your counsel where she can submit a formal request.
The employer may remain in the room while she views stuff she doesn't understand. LCA Barbie can take notes, but is not entitled to copies of anything. If you have counsel, try to have them present while she conducts her "review."
The legal viability of this bimbo's "investigations" are pitiful, but legislators are responsive, as are MAGA men (prone to being distracted by boobies). If she or anyone like her shows up, adopt the advice every attorney gives every human who is arrested: the only word out of your mouth is "lawyer." (In this case, it is "here is the contact info for my lawyer. They will be happy to arrange a time for you to view the PAFs.")
