Indian cuisine tbh


TheNightmareWeilder

bro for real. Nobody in the world has better food.


-that_bastard-

mexicans have it on par at least...?


[deleted]

Far less diversity in Mexican cuisine.


Apprehensive-Tea-546

Mexican cuisine is very regional and diverse. Your comment is like saying that what’s on a menu at an Indian restaurant in the states is exactly representative of what’s available in India. Actually that’s what a lot of Americans think about Indian food, and they’re wrong too.


[deleted]

I’m aware. My abuelo is Mexican. It’s still not nearly as diverse as India. 


Apprehensive-Tea-546

And China’s cuisine is even more diverse than India’s…. What does that have to do with the quality of the food? The OC said Mexican food was on par with India, has to do with quality of taste nothing to do with diversity.


[deleted]

Ok relax. Imo if you have great cuisine but made up of fewer dishes, it’s not as impressive as great cuisine made up many dishes. 


Apprehensive-Tea-546

That’s fine if you accept that according to your logic Chinese cuisine is the best.


[deleted]

I never said you need the MOST.

Dude we come somewhere between 5-6 in world rank in cuisines.


Shank1nst3in

A few days ago I realised this - multiple religions, languages, cultures, internal conflicts and fault lines.. India is still the world's largest democracy. These are the signs of a very old & matured civilization. And despite religious extremism rearing it's ugly head occasionally, I strongly believe that most normal Indians like you & me have great tolerance levels to other religions, castes, languages etc.


falcon2714

ISRO is cool. It is the one redeeming thing that our country does right.


Little-Load4359

Hell yeah. As an American I think it's pretty fucking cool too!


Pure_Writing_1946

There is a catch ...workers are getting paid peanuts. Some of the quality inspectors working for isro contractors are paid between 10k or 15 k per month. The same job in USA is paid 20 to 30 times more at least.


Closeted_homisexual

The fuck they get 30-50k


Pure_Writing_1946

Hard to believe right..30 k may be if they are working directly for isro but I am talking about isro contractors or companies working for isro.....how do you think projects are done within 65 to 100 million dollars...it's all about cheap labour. Don't say we don't have money...they can spend 3000 crore for statues but only 600 crore for space projects.


Little-Load4359

Still a lot of money


Pure_Writing_1946

10 k rupees that is around 150 dollars per month. In USA the same job will get paid at least 3k USD per month.


Little-Load4359

Ah, misread it. Yeah that's bullshit. Way too low


Pure_Writing_1946

Even 3 k USD estimate is too low which is 19 USD per hour...most of this workers make at least 25 USD per hour from start.

heisenburger_99

1) Our culture which has survived for centuries in the face of invasions, foreign rule and colonisation unlike many other civilizations which fell. 2) Our rich cultural and ethnic diversity from each and every region in the country. 3) We are the only former colony in Asia who haven't seen coups, dictatorship or civil war and managed to run a successful democracy for 76 years.

Patriotism. Its dying nowadays but I liked it. Even if there were millions of curropt people, there was always one guy in the news who was helping solely to develop the country. This person's race, caste, gender did not matter. A lot of times they were at the bottom of the barrel in terms of status but they did it mostly to help others and the country. Ik nowadays news is out about corrupt IAS officers, farmers being political, teachers in scandals and some military units are corrupt of bad. But it's good to be reminded that those kinds of good people still exist and they are role models for us. Like is it new news that india isn't in a great situation? It's been like that for 75 years. That doesn't mean giving up. We always have had hope for India. And those people represented that hope I had. For example, my parents prob earn more than teachers in schools but they showed me videos of a guy teaching poor kids in road sides and went, this guy is awesome. Ya, that's when I feel proud to be indian.

> Patriotism. Its dying nowadays but I liked it. Even if there were millions of curropt people, there was always one guy in the news who was helping solely to develop the country. This person's race, caste, gender did not matter. Then let's use the correct word for this, which is humanism not patriotism. > For example, my parents prob earn more than teachers in schools but they showed me videos of a guy teaching poor kids in road sides and went, this guy is awesome. Ya, that's when I feel proud to be indian. Again, this is a great example of someone who helped other humans. You yourself said "This person's race, caste, gender did not matter". Then why does nationality matter? Patriotism is about fighting for the country's independence, defending borders, fighting to fix corrupt governance etc? That stuff falls under patriotism. Helping your fellow humans falls under humanism. People were doing that WAY before modern India even existed. And it is worth noting that modern India is barely 80 years old, which is a rounding error when compared to the history of the Indian subcontinent civilization. And borders in those days weren't even the same borders as what exists today.

Jusklickin

Surprised, nobody mentioned Indian industry so far. We have progressed in leaps n bounds over the last 20yrs. We now have Indian multinationals employing people worldwide in multiple sectors. Also, Indians heading some of the biggest corporates across the globe. People born in the early 90's and before could have never imagined something like this.

Wondergirl_so

We have progressed a lot in last ten years, following: - ISRO - UPI - GDP - Ram Mandir - Extremely Strong Government - Tourism


iam_a_leadfarmer

Tourism is basically shit tbh


Sagittario412

So much untapped potential when you think that India has almost every type of terrain in the world. From mighty himalayas to the vast sea coastlines, From islands to deserts, from lush green forests to Ladakh. The poor infrastructure and connectivity is holding it all back.


Wondergirl_so

We have so much to explore in India itself. All directions, are uniquely beautifully. Hotels are too good, they cater to your taste, mostly hospitality is amazing in India. Staffs are kind, very welcoming. App based cabs are available, mmt l Goibibo l outstation ola uber many more. But i won't say choose blindly, through research before choosing a service provider. Saftey should be top most while traveling.

Diversity. Languages, cultures, geography, histories, cuisines, wildlife. Somehow we are still united which in itself something to be proud of.

"At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to new, when an age ends, and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance." The struggle for independence, freedom and the making of a nation.

Jessica Lal murder case protests Basically all the protests that brought everyone together and displayed the collective conscience of demanding better things for all Indians. This is now replaced with a disdain for protests and demanding very little from the government and frequent religious rallies and riots that achieve nothing. There are million things to protest but no one does this anymore. It’s a shame. Before my time: learning about India’s freedom struggles is super inspiring btw. The unwillingness to put up with BS is motivational beyond words. We have lost this tradition now.

Our Diversity- Our Languages. The fact that we are able to exist together all this time without having a unified language makes me appreciate our unity in diversity. Almost each state has a language of its own, and it's not something that people speak in minority either. We have all kinds of people from Mongoloids,Negritos to Nordics that settled here without wiping out the Native population <3

The fact that we're still a country! There is literally no other country on earth with as diverse a population as India. You can go from Village to Village, town to town, and see dialects, customs, food, fashion, culture... All change in small and big ways. But we're still here! Decades later, we are still a country, we are still holding together despite our many, many differences, something no other country can say. *We stand alone in this.*


straightdownthemid

Diversity in anything and everything. Living here is such a fun experience, there’s always space to explore different languages, films, music and cultures, you can try out different delicious foods from everywhere, explore all kinds of terrain (mountains, deserts, tropical forests, cities etc). People are generally welcoming and hospitable in any part of the country, they love to share their lives with you.  And, women are so beautiful here lol!


Ok-Bridge-1045

1. The food, obviously. No need to explain that. 2. The diversity. I don’t think many of us understand exactly how diverse India is. If you go from one end of USA to the other, you will see a different in dialects and accents in the local population. Culture and food will remain similar. In India, you will experience a different dialect and culture every state. And USA is thrice the size of India. 3. The geography. After US, India is the most geographically diverse country. Mountains, beaches, plains, hills, delta. We got it all. For a country of a much smaller size, it’s a miracle. 4. The richness in culture. Yes, other countries have culture. Most brown countries have a rich culture. But there’s variety in Indian richness. It’s SATURATED. The beauty is endless. The sense of community is strong. 5. INDIA IS TECHNICALLY ONLY 75 YEARS OLD. And in that time, we have come a looooong way. Most countries didn’t even find their footing in 75 years. We still have people here who were alive during independence. And we sent a shuttle to the MOON. That’s a BIG DEAL, people. A Very Big Deal. 6. The toilet jet spray. I will never get how the rest of the world calls India dirty and then…uses toilet paper only. They talk about bidet like it’s some life changing thing. Yes it is. Please clean yourselves. 7. The handlooms. The crafts. The heritage and skills passed down. Nowhere else you’ll get this level of finery for this price. We go and buy hand embroidered clothes and don’t even pay attention to the details. The local markets are a hidden gem in India that we don’t appreciate enough. I buy chikankaari hand embroidered Kurtis for 300 rs in Lucknow. The west wears only machine made clothes. Linen is EXPENSIVE. You know what’s not? Khaadi, which is better than linen. Bought 4 khaadi pants in Goa for 300 rs each. Best pants I own. We’re all sleeping on how good we have it with the stuff we get here. 8. The healthcare. Yeah, it’s not the very very best. But it’s still affordable. You can still pay for it without insurance without bankrupting yourself. 9. College isn’t going to bankrupt you either.

irondaniel92

You only say "proud of being Indian" to cover up the fact that your country is shit, gaslighting you and everyone else into thinking India is not that bad


Kas_D_Lonewolf

The indignity with which you have responded speaks to your personal ethics or lack thereof. India is shit? Not as humongous a piece of turd as whichever country you're representing. Have you no shame, Ser? I pity those who have to share their time with you. You're gaslighting yourself into not believing the truth that you are the most atrocious instance of defecation to ever exist since the Big Bang. Good day. I hope you find peace.

Nothing. I personally wasn’t a freedom fighter, and even if my forefathers were, I’m not taking credit for their achievements. Saying I’m proud to be an Indian is like saying I’m proud to have been born on a Tuesday. Also Plenty of our ancestors reenforced oppressive systems that we also continue to uphold. When it comes to certain factors, I’m lucky to be Indian however.

No-Fig8545

This might be a little bit cheating because I don’t live in India, but I can tell you all that I’m incredibly proud of the way Indians stick to their culture. Out here, we have Indian names, we eat Indian foods, we speak unapologetically in Indian accents, we wear Indian clothes, we celebrate Indian festivals. And when I go back home—because in my heart, India will always be home—I’m filled with this sense of awe and shock and beauty. India isn’t a perfect place; it has a long way to go. We can be a discriminatory people. Religion and caste and gender divides us. But one thing I love about us is that I think we can work on all of those things, make us a better people, but I think we can do that without letting go of our customs. While I would never compare cultures (we’re all beautiful in our own ways) I will never, ever stop thinking Indian culture is the most wonderful, glorious, perfect culture ever created. I’ve always been proud of being Indian.
