I don't hate Indians or India. I love the people. Just not the bragging attitude of many Indians here, its media and its government officials brag too much as well.
what you perceive as bragging ...is just talking too much . It is a cultural thing . India being a democratic country has a free media and there is lot of discussion , arguments-counterarguments on every single damn issue under the sun...
I do not suppose that it is just bragging .
and makes you think that bragging is bad ?
It has been well known that bragging is good ....it forces you to accomplish things you bragged about !
You can't go on bragging about things without delivering ....or people will find your bluff soon .
When India announced Mars mission ....people said same thing that India is bragging but ISRO proved you all guys wrong !
I think you are biased against Indians that's why you take everything we 'talk' or 'discuss' as bragging ....
Now I do not state that we do not go overboard at times ....
Yes Indians are deeply emotional and sentimental people ....and that's why the things are taken very seriously and personally .
Result is that we do tend to overplay the good things and we do tend to underplay bad things ...
But it is only natural ....
as human beings we do brag all the time ....we do overestimate all the time ...
and here is psychologists perspective . It is called as positive self -perception ...
I hope you will be able to understand this phenomenon of too much talking through this view point .
You also have to admit that we are much more frank and open ....
Will you agree with me that the amount of information and data that India puts in public domain is much bigger than possibly any other country including China ( off course I am not including US here which does put lot of data in public domain ) ?
