Indians complaining about other Indian cultures 'smelly foods'. Now that's a first ;) :)

  "India" is not monocultural. Each ethnic group is an entirely different nation with different norms, cultures, and cuisine. Imagine if all of continental Europe from Madrid to Moscow became a single country - that's India, as well as Myanmar, Nepal, Bhutan (before the ethnic cleansings), Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Pakistan, and Afghanistan. Nagas like other Northeast Indians are Southeast Asians, with ethnic groups straddling India, Bangladesh, Northern Myanmar, Tibet, Yunnan, and Northern Thailand. "Indian" is an identity like "American", "Canadian", "Mexican", etc where both a National Identity and an Ethnic Identity can co-exist

    Appreciate your thoughtful comment here. I only had an urge to post a biting reply

    What do you think "Indian cultures" means, as in the plural?
