Indians are the largest nationality on YouTube, Instagram and Facebook and a significant minority on X, Reddit and Snapchat. 

But their influx onto these platforms has not been great for India’s image in the world.

Crude men and noisy nationalists exist everywhere, but the sheer scale of the Indian contingent makes them more noticeable.

Look at the comments, as expected, Pajeets can't take any criticism whatsoever. These pss-drinkers don't realize the only reason Pajeet hate has become so huge on the internet is because of you people yourselves. It isn't a coincidence that Jeet hatred became a huge thing only after the 2020s, when the Jeet population on the internet became higher lmao. It's evident that your own personalities are what caused people to hate y'all.
