How Indian are you? Twitter users tell you

Indians may be many things — a lot of them bad — but it is, at the end of the day, our idiosyncrasies and peculiar habits that make us feel one. IPL teams, political or religious beliefs, food, language, caste, clothes and cultures may divide us. But it is little things like discovering thread and needles in a cookie box or being scolded for scoring 98 per cent instead of 99 in exams that makes large numbers of Indians relate to each other.

So when Twitter user Sai Sailaja Seshadri asked the question “How Indian are you?”, the answers came in overwhelming numbers. And without a doubt, all responses will make you go, “That has happened to me!”

The most essential

Conditioning

In being “economical”

Religion

And every other kind of desi-isms possible
