These Stereotypes About India That Refuse To Go Away!

When people from other countries decide to travel to India, they generally have some stereotypes in mind, which have been there since centuries. We agree that India is a vast country and there is much to see and experience. But there are some stereotypes that need to go, India needs to be reviewed with a fresh perspective.

Dude you need to do your homework better. The development of the nation cannot be calculated on the number of beggars you meet at a red light. Just because Indians are positive people, who like to smile and welcome strangers, does not make us a country of losers. We do have our Ambanis, Goenkas and the Tatas!

Many people come to India with the assumption that every nook and corner of India is filled with garbage or filth. Well, that’s not true. We also have some of the finest parks, museums and shopping malls in the world. We would say we have a dual kind of existence, but all of it is not dirty.

This is the worst stereotype of the lot. Education is a very important part of growing up in India. Unlike other countries, our teenagers do not move out and so summer jobs. They are motivated to get a degree and become something in life.

Well, they can be see seen in the villages and smaller towns but not in the metros. We adore these beautiful creatures and admit sheepishly that they are cause of traffic jams most of the time.

Indian cuisine is not just tikka and butter chicken

You will be glad to know that every region in India has its unique cuisine and a few special dishes. You should try fish in Bengal, coconut curry in Kerala, dhokla in Gujarat and tikka in the north.
