An American visited India and went back to America where he met his Indian friend who asked him how did you find my country. The American said it is a great country with solid ancient history and immensely rich with natural resources.
The Indian friend then asked, "How did you find Indians?" Indians?? Who Indians?? I didn't find or meet a single Indian there in India. What nonsense?? Who else could you meet in India then??
The American said, "In Kashmir, I met a Kashmiri; in Punjab, a Punjabi; in Bihar, Maharashtra, Rajasthan, Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, a Bihari, Marathi, Marwadi, Bengali, Tamilian, Malayali... then I met a Muslim, a Hindu, a Christian, a Jain, a Buddhist, and many, many more, but not a single Indian did I meet..."
Think how serious this joke is... The day would not be far off when indeed we would become a collection of nation-states as some regional anti-national politicians want. Fight back - always say I am Indian.
