Okay, let's go Indian this week. Yes this article is also going to be about us Indians.
We Indians are everywhere. We are all over the world. US, UK, Australia, everywhere. You know why we are everywhere and how come we are everywhere and do not complain, that is because WE ADAPT. We adapt to changes, we adapt to circumstances, we adapt to cultures, we adapt to art, we adapt to people, we adapt to everything. I am not bragging about ourselves but just stating the facts. Okay, only to justify my statement let's go through a list. Stay with me. You will love it.

Let's start with the eating habits. We were on a routine on eating Idlies, Puris, Dosas, Poha and the savouries are endless. Now since the introduction of globalisation, we have seen a whole new variety of foods coming in. Pastas and pizzas and all. Now in the present, they are on the main menus of all the restaurants in the country. Now even if go abroad we are able to adjust to their food cultures only because we adapted to them. WE ADAPTED!!

Next, coming to the living habits. We were not introduced to the digital world at all except for the radios and transistors. Televisions came in a little late. But now our entire life revolves around them. Not only in our country but also abroad. We go out of our country, out of our homes to make a living in an entire different country. We do adapt to their style of living, in fact we adopt their style of living. WE ADAPTED!!

Okay now come the cultures. India already has thousands of cultures running inside it through generations. But when there was an invasion and ruling that took place around 270 years back, we did resist a bit but later we adapted to the "English" cultures. The tea parties, clubs and what not. Those cultures are still in our country and to be honest, we are loving them. We ADAPTED!!

Okay since we have seen the list of our adaptations, you (I guess) have understood the point, we definitely do it right with a bright smile on our faces.

Now smile and enjoy your day!!

I think this article needs more work. You've mentioned how Indians adapt but adapting is a key function of survival. It would help your article if you spoke about how we stand out instead of how we adapt. A lot of races in the world adapt wherever they settle in, I don't see any point in making adaptation the point of this article. You don't really have a point if that's your word. Also you have ignored the ills of adapting to everything west and loosing the Indian individuality. This is low key ignorant. the article is hardly persuasive. Hope you take it in a positive way.

Sure will. But I'm just seeing the Indian perspective since we have been through a lot of changes. Thank you for your review :)
