Many foreigners make fun of India by saying India is dirty and Indians are unhygienic. Are we really that bad?

A homeless poor Indian is as clean as a homeless poor American, except that the Indian is likely to not be a heroin addict and mugger

India has so many chances to sell soft power and culture and change the image of India

That's on you guys

What's the most surprising connection you've discovered with someone you just met?

A middle class Indian is as clean as a middle class American

You allowed Slumdog millionaire to be screened and that movie is responsible for a lot of the “India is dirty” jibe

If white people had been slaves, would WLM be a thing right now?

Making fun of Indians and making personal remarks at a group of people and generalizing them is wrong at so many levels especially when it comes to hygeine

This pisses me off

India is dirty because poor people are forced to poop in the streets and not wash because access to potable water is another major bummer

Why are white women so hard to date?

India is dirty because poor people who dont have a home are forced to sleep on the streets amidst the thrash with rats running all over them

India is dirty because Cities are overcrowded with poor people

The Bath is very important in India

Why does my iPhone keep on saying I can’t upload photos to iCloud and say it doesn't have enough iCloud storage when it still has space?

Indians consider water to purify many things and cleanliness is part of an Indians psyche

Indians even brush their teeth with a stick if they can't afford toothpaste

Are there any political parties or groups that have a mix of conservative and liberal beliefs? Why are they not as prominent in the media?

Seriously, can't you guys fight against the Corruption everywhere and see that poverty is mitigated and cities are kept less crowded and clean

And you seriously need to get out of the media bubble and see India for the shit show it is becoming and causing embarrassment for all Indians

It is deep rooted in religion

What does it mean when someone is pretending to be me?

You need Mahabharat to go Global to Europe and the States

India is dirty because it is overcrowded

What are some great short jokes?

India neither has Anime nor plays world class soccer but Indian actors have sufficient exposure and look beautiful enough to make a splash in all those events

You allow Corruption to fester and make life unbearable for poor people and force them to migrate by the Dunki route and the poorest people become the face of India when just fifteen years ago, it was all about the migrants in silicon valley

It's just that India has too many poor people and too much corruption

Is there any concrete proof that LED face masks actually work?

No Indian who can afford a bathroom with running water , would do without a bath.

Not unless they live in very cold places where a bath could be bad , healthwise.

What are some current examples of injustice?

Foreigners make fun of India because you guys allow them to make fun of India

You need more films like RRR

Indians are as hygienic as other foreigners of the same economic class in other countries

What are some cool examples of two kinds of people?

Urban Planning isn't like building a Multimodal AI is it

So Indians are as hygienic as anyone else

The problem is not about personal hygiene but about poverty and mismanagement

Is data science, machine learning, and AI very difficult? I’ve learned some Android development, but I didn’t like it. Should I learn Python, data science, machine learning? I like math and machine learning have a better growth rate

This is just normal racism coupled with India's own relentless mismanagement of poverty, corruption and lack of proper enforcement of laws

You need to get Ramayana global to Europe and the States

Make fun of India the country, and that's one thing

Why does Russia support Palestine in the Middle East conflict?

If India can work out its corruption and poverty and the VIP culture
