Silent_Boy Posted March 8, 2014 Author Report Posted March 8, 2014 1. Indians don’t eat rich, spicy, masala curry everyday image source That’s right. The staple diet of most Indians consist of dal/sambar , rice, chapatis/rotis with cooked vegetables(mildly spiced/stir fried) or fish/meat. Rich, thick gravies are either found in restaurants or prepared (rarely) during special occasions. 2. Dowry is not prevalent in every part of India image source There’s no dowry system in most of the North Eastern states of India. Infact, in Meghalaya, marriages are matriarchal with a matrilineal system where property names and wealth passes from mother to daughter rather than father to son. You’ll find women take center-stage in every aspect of life. 3. Indian cinema is not equal to Bollywood image source Be it Tamil, Telegu, Marathi, Malayalam, Bengali, Punjabi or even Bhojpuri, the contribution of regional films to Indian cinema is immense. While Bollywood mints money, regional cinema brings accolades. 4. All Indians don’t live in extended joint families Blame it on the numerous nonsensical saas-bahu serials, the general conception of a huge Indian joint family living under a single roof is a bit exaggerated and misplaced. 5. Indians are not uncomfortable while interacting with the opposite sex This one’s a classic: Popular western TV series like The Big Bang Theory stereotypes Indians as people who can’t handle a conversation with the opposite gender. That’s Raj for you. image source The irony is that Raj, in real life, is married to a beautiful former Miss India. 6. Not everyone from Southern India is dark skinned & has curly hair Majority of South Indians have a wheatish tone. Not everyone has a mustache and they don’t wear lungi all the time. 7. Not all from North East India have East Asian features Most people from the North East don’t have East Asian features. Prime example: Arnab Goswami from Assam. It’s derogatory to ask someone why they don’t have the typical look. 8. All Indians are not vegeterians Meat And by meat, we mean poultry, mutton, pork and yes, beef. Hell, India became the top exporter of beef. Almost 70% is exported. So what happens to the rest? You’re correct, we eat it. 9. Cricket is NOT the religion of every Indian image source Not everyone is a cricket lover in India. Some even detest the game. Sports like tennis, badminton, football etc are also widely pursued. 10. All educated Indians are not IT Professionals image source Fact: 1 out of every 200 workers is a software engineer in the US. India has about 2.75 million software developers while the US has 4.5 million. So do the math. 11. Indian society is not as conservative as it is portrayed Times have changed. Girls are no longer confined to the foul walls of the house. Live-in relationships are legal. It’s commonplace to find women having a great time in a pub at 2 in the morning. 12. Arranged marriages don’t happen overnight without the couple spending time to know each other Almost every arranged marriage in India is preceded by an extended period of informal ‘dates’ (meetings) between the couple to evaluate each other and their prospective relationship. 13. Not every Indian is a rapist. source Even if we combine both reported and unreported incidents of rape in our country, India is still not the worst place for women. Yeah, it might not be the safest too, but it’s sad to paint every Indian man with the same color. A vast majority of Indians treat women with respect and dignity. 14. All Indians are not obsessed with Bollywood Regional cinema has a healthy fan following. A vast majority of educated Indians have a good taste for world cinema too. Some even avoid Bollywood movies altogether. 15. Not everyone wobble their head You’ll be surprised at the unpopularity of the great Indian headshake among Indians. This is certainly not a nationwide phenomenon. 16. India does not have a single climate. It’s not hot everywhere. image sources 1, 2 From the frozen lakes of Kashmir to the sunny beaches of Havelock Island, rains of Cherrapunji to the sands of Rajasthan, the climate of India varies. 17. All Indians don’t have ‘that’ accent image source Thankfully, 250 million English speaking people in India haven’t learned English from Russel Peter’s dad. Indians are a cool bunch. In reality, stereotypes don’t really bother us. We just keep calm and enjoy!
