Oh, you’re from India? You must be good with computers.

You’re a Chinese? Do you eat insects?
You’re an American? How many guns do you own?

As much as we hate to admit it, stereotypes exist and they exist everywhere. Some positive and most negative, stereotypes get formed only because everyone likes to group people based on the characteristics of a few people they meet, pop-culture references or media manipulation. And we Indians are the best at doing that.

So, we have compiled a list of 10 nations and the way we Indians perceive them. Check out to see if these stereotypes come to your minds too when you think of them.

1. The queen lives there, no?

From ‘dugna lagaan’ to the Kohinoor they just won’t return, Britain is like that friend who takes your stuff and never returns it.

 

2. ‘YUGE’ nation and tiny hands (IYKWIM) 

The ‘boss baby’ nation of the world, USA is like that guy who would advocate for ‘freedom’ but won’t give any space to others.

 

3. The land down under

The nation where every animal is out there to kill you, Australia is that ‘mate’ who has a beautiful house, but you are kinda scared to visit him for various reasons (IYKWIM).

 

4. “Mera joota hai Japani”

With a troubled past and continuous natural calamities, Japan is like that ‘unlucky’ guy who is trying very hard to make things better.

 

5. Our dearest eastern neighbours

We get it China, you know some cool martial arts, but is that a reason to pick random fights with every one of your neighbours? Also, please stop eating dogs, that makes you the weirdest one on this list (hell, we even have Pakistan here).

 

6. O Canada!

Probably the most ‘tension-free’ nation of the world, Canada is like that cute girl everyone wants to date (no wonder Robin is from there). That’s why even with their ‘Winterfell’ type weather, people love to visit the nation and just not come back.

 

7. #Vacaygoals for Indians 

Thailand is the nation which has helped pursue the ‘wanderlust’ of many Indians. With ‘Bangkok’ as the capital, it is no wonder Thailand is associated with major disappointments ‘down there’.

 

8. From Ronaldo to Braziiil, 90’s kids know this nation well

With their sick football skills, cheerful music and a lively culture, Brazil is like, the coolest guy you know. Plus, if you are a nineties kid, you know the nation pretty well, all thanks to ‘Vengaboys’.

 

9. The holy land of Pizza and Pasta

With their flawless architecture, heavenly food like pizza and pasta and an excellent sense of fashion, Italy is the fashionista of this group of nations. As for football fans, Marco Materazzi left no stone unturned to bring the nation on the global map.

 

10. And how can we forget this nation

Last but not the least, it’s time for our very pleasant neighbours. While they have a pretty cool taste in music, we can’t really think of anything more. If Pakistan were a person, it’d probably be the most mischievous guy you know.
