Based on your writing style, you appear to be Indian yourself. I'd like to hear from an American, why this matters to people unrelated to India.

I wouldn't say it's an Indian only phenomenon, plenty of that everywhere

This has way more to do with India than what the person said.

Let India bashing and stereotyping begin .........

Wow! Being an Indian (assuming you really are) doesn't make it any less inappropriate to make such sweeping generalizations!

What's the need to say that this person was an Indian? Threw me off the rest of the post tbh.

This comment shows a fundamental lack of understanding of life in India.

People from India need to speak up about this if that's true, because Western readers love articles like this to broadly discriminate.

What's your background? This is some pretty scathing commentary. If you're from India, I can find it interesting. If you're not, then some of your comments come off as a bit xenophobic towards India.

It's not obvious if you're not from India, so thank you for the explanation :)
