Do we as Indians get offended too easily?
I’ve noticed that many Indians yap a lot and often display a strong sense of bigotry, especially on online forums and social media.
They struggle to take a joke, quickly gang up to orchestrate witch hunts, and become aggressive or abusive toward anyone who doesn’t share their worldview.
Constructive criticism is often met with personal attacks, debates devolve into shouting matches, and even the mildest dissent can trigger outrage.
The hypocrisy is even more glaring—many who loudly preach about morality and “Indian culture being ruined” are the same ones harassing female influencers, spamming DMs asking for nudes, or abusing teams and creators online.
They cry about respect but have no problem sending death threats or spewing vile comments the moment someone challenges their fragile beliefs.
Whether it’s movies, stand-up comedy, political opinions, or even harmless memes, there’s always a section ready to take offense, demand bans, boycotts, or force public apologies—all while engaging in the very behavior they claim to condemn.
