alt Hacker NewsWhy is it that such a big chunk of Indian internet users seem to be so focused on expressing unnecessary nationalistic sentiments like this?
It’s not like you guys even have anything to be proud about. “Foreigners bad!” doesn’t really have the same vibe when coming from people who still shit on the streets. A nation of slaves with desperate delusions of grandeur.
Maybe do something to actually help improve your country instead of seeking to falsely depict it as better than it is, build some toilets or whatever.

There is a way to criticise unfettered nationalism and jingoism without the criticism involving racism, and tired and highly offensive stereotypes about nearly a fifth of the human population. Then the criticism becomes worthless in itself.
