What is that one moment in your life when you felt "I am awesome"?

Making fun of Indians and making personal remarks at a group of people and generalizing them is wrong at so many levels especially when it comes to hygeine

If India can work out its corruption and poverty and the VIP culture

Why are men today so pussiefied?

And you seriously need to get out of the media bubble and see India for the shit show it is becoming and causing embarrassment for all Indians

India is dirty because Cities are overcrowded with poor people

Are there any examples of outdated values in the Bible?

India is dirty because poor people who dont have a home are forced to sleep on the streets amidst the thrash with rats running all over them
