Not trying to single out India. But Indians have the strange need to claim all sorts of nonsense in an attempt at artificial national pride. I don’t understand why they cant be proud of the fact that they are dragging a vast population from a large country out of ignorance superstition, poverty, hard labor, disease, suffering, child mortality and early death and doing so humanely and largely peacefully, and democratically, which is not something other peoples can commonly claim.
