I feel a deep sense of gratitude for my Indian heritage. growing up in a nation defined by such immense diversity and still integrating cultures into one single society has been a privilege. It is true that anti Indian sentiment has become increasingly prevalent, but Ive chosen to view this as an exercise in self acceptance.
I am not blind to where these perceptions originate from, stereotypes are rarely just “made up”, and i’ll be the first to admit that i’ve cringed at the behaviour of “indian uncles” in public spaces, the occasional lack of social boundaries or outdated behaviors can be frustrating to witness. however, it is vital to distinguish between a persons character and the circumstances of their upbringing.
Much of the online ragebait is literal gibberish that ignores the reality of a country in transition. We are witnessing a historic shift. India is developing at a breakneck pace, and the tides are turning as a new generation emerges. rather than clowning people for their birthplace, the world should celebrate the fact that over a billion people are gaining access to better education and the opportunity for a dignified life.
my personal experiences remain my compass. i’ve met countless individuals who judge others by the depth of their character rather than their race. it gives me hope, to come across people who arent racist is refreshing, but all i do for those who are racist is pray, so i pray to god that they find the kindness and profoundness in their heart to deal with their resentment. i love life.
apologies for bad grammar.
