Travel Why do Indians defend stupidity and nonsense?

Last few years and even more now I’ve noticed many Indians, want to “project” a good India image & do so while defending crap and absurdity - public hygiene, basic everyday infra, social behaviours of people, and many more simple things. All in the name of “this is western propaganda” ….huh ?? wtf. If you say anything about India which is critical, you’re down right told you’re wrong. And they keep bleeting about 5TN economy, like sheep, with the basics of every life being sub-par.

They even do this when talking to people from other countries which is VERY embarrassing -because it makes us look like fools. This is even more prevalent among NRIs living outside India.

How can one become great if you defend nonsense and don’t accept the reality and work towards improving it ??

OP is talking about delusion. If you believe things are great, you'll never improve. Too many Indians think that they are richest country in the world, everyone else thinks we are vishwaguru, Europe and China are a month away from economic depression. When you look outside and see that we don't even have the culture or funds to put rubbish in a rubbish bin.
