17 Everyday Indian Ironies That Never Cease To Amaze Us

Arushi Lohia

India is one of the largest democracies in the world. And the most diverse and rich in culture too. A country which stands second in terms of population but does not talk about sex. Where rapes happen everyday and Goddess Durga is worshiped too. 

However, we fail to recognize the irony because everyone here wants to come first but no one reaches on time. From politicians to parents, men to women, everyone around is hypocritical without even knowing it. 

As they say, it happens only in India!

Here a some of the most ironical things about India that never cease to amaze:

1. We clean things with the dirtiest cloth in the house.
