What qualifies you as an Indian? Well, not just the fact that you were simply born here, but apparently a few traits distinguish you as “truly” Indian.
A Reddit user initiated a discussion on what actually counts as “unIndian” behaviour. And, the Redditor pointed out, they don’t “stare people to death,” especially girls on the street, which they claimed is common in India.
Within moments, more Indians joined the conversation and revealed the traits that mark them apart from the vast majority of the country.
