Being an immigrant I get to meet a lot of people who love isolating themselves with the pride that they are Indians.I do agree with the notion that the Indian culture does entail large amounts of festivity which requires a basic understanding of the culture, but what i feel ashamed of is that they very same patrons of culture have no clue that states like Nagaland , Mizoram or Tripura even exist. These so called bedouins of jingoism are infact a virus that seeps into other cultures and plant the seeds of predictable behavioural types (stereotypes) to those who do not know who Indians really are. So this is my plea to those who desperately wish to brag about our country. Do so with either acquired knowledge(printed facts or google would suffice) or just visit the damn place and tell your stories.
