Plannin to teach a bunch of dumb people, they will in turn try to prove that Bangladesh is a part of India.

Are you serious that this is the image of India in Western countries.
Unfortunately, to some extent yes. I stay in Texas, where most of the people are still cowboys and cowgirls at heart. They have a very limited knowledge. On an average the level of General Knowledge of a common person is very very low in USA, but they are very simple and very nice at heart.
One story from my side:
Few months back we had a party in our office. Everyone wanted to have Indian food as many of my collegues did not have Indian food earlier, so I had to volunteer to cook. Anyway, just before the day of the party I was asked by two of our collegues whether Indian food has ingredients like eyeball or brains. They got that idea by watching Indiana Jones. 🤢
I was so shocked that I could not reply.
[QUOTE=uknaik99]Yes.. in my experince.. people in USA are very ignorant about India and rest of the world...
question i frequently encounter here iS - DO YOU KNOW HOW TO SPEAK ENGLISH??
Also they ask about my Bindi all the time.. I am feedup explaining why i put it.. now i hv started saying Bindi means my husband is still alive 😆 😆
I prefer to wear Indian traditional dresses over Jeans.. most of the people apperciate it but i do encounter strange looks all the time 😊 😊
hahaha,
they ask me about bindi like it is permanent tattoo
