Acharya Prashant addresses the rising negative perception of Indians abroad, attributing it to a lack of civic sense and the influence of regressive social media narratives. He explains that while Indians were once viewed as a 'model minority' due to their economic vulnerability and fear of deportation, a new generation influenced by 'cultural nationalism' and 'jingoism' has become increasingly aggressive and disrespectful. This behavior is fueled by misinformation spread by content creators who claim that Western wealth and science were entirely stolen from ancient India, leading to a false sense of superiority and a disregard for local norms in foreign countries.
