3. Big Fat Indian Weddings.

Indian weddings are often times a lavish affair, making them an eye candy of an event for not just the attendees but anyone who isn't a part of it as well. I mean, Beyonce PERFORMED in Isha Ambani's wedding. That only happens in India so b*tches be proud it happened.

4. Travel Destinations!

We Indians are known for our exotic lifestyle. We underestimate and always feel that the grass is greener overseas.

6. We have stories to tell:

The folk tales of India, a tradition that has been passed on from generation to generation tell us tales imbibed with virtues and morals. A collective pool of cultural tales means an infinite number of adaptations and variations that can be made. At its core, we are also known for the two epics of Hindu mythology, The Ramayana and The Mahabharata.

7. A nation for all:

As far as secularism goes, India is the world's largest secular democracy. India is home to people from almost all the religions of the world.

8. Friendly neighborhood country.

As a nation, India and Indians alike, are a friendly bunch. We have healthy relations with all the other nations of the world and as much as we are different as individuals, we end up making friends in the most random places in the world.

9. We have an Army.

Just by the way, India has the second largest army in the entire world. We have an active military force of 1.39 million soldiers. And is preceded by only China, with 2.1 million. The brave patriotic acts of our soldiers help us sleep in peace at night.

11. Indian Cinema.

"Hindustan mein jab tak saneema hai, log ch*tiye bante rahenge." These wise words of Ramadheer Singh, reflect upon how influential Indian Cinema has been over the ages. What started with Raja Harishchandra, evolved into Sholay and in the present day, we have Gully Boy making people go gaga over usually criticized slang which includes, "Apna time aayega, Boht Hard, Bantai Bachi Bamai", are moulded by the movies we make and consume.

12. The stars decide our fate.

The study and practice of astrology takes back to as early as the Vedic Age. A time when science was no more than just a myth. Popular belief is that the stars and planets, situated a million miles away from us in this vast galaxy are somehow able to affect our fate.

13. East or West, Cricket is the best.

We love sports, but one sport, in particular, gets all of us unanimously united. India! India! Our heartbeats touch the roof and we love our cricket as much as we love our fellow Indians...when they're wearing blue.

The history of the nation gives a glimpse of one of the oldest civilizations in the world. The transformation and development have been intense and instills a sense of national pride in the heart of every Indian for you to be proud of!
