Honestly as an outsider I feel that India is in a position where it speaks the same language as the west(English) but is still mocked inside of the English speaking sphere as an outsider would be. If you can go on Reddit you can tell how much people jump at the opportunity to insult India whenever it's mentioned. This happens with a lot of other countries but India is the only English speaking one can notice.
- wsxcde 10y agoYou and the GP are both right. We're terribly insecure, but that is in part fuelled by how much we get looked down upon. The Indian reaction to mockery and racism during the British era was pumping up nationalism and self-pride. That was a justified reaction to a truly evil empire, but unfortunately, that culture has not evolved after independence.
