We Indians have a fascination towards the west. We love to follow and copy the west culture and in turn feel proud to neglect our own Sanskriti. From the littlest to the greatest of things Indians have done their best to copy the international culture.

The best thing about it is we Indians have copied the culture in style and for some of these things we have misused in a way that is purely insulting and disheartening.

DO YOU HAVE A FOOD PHOBIA?

If you take a look at these things Indians have copied from the west, you will be stunned. Many of the these things on the list will actually make you think the next time you see an object in your home, like your wooden flooring or even your bathroom....

Here are more of the things Indians have copied from the west, you have to take a look:

Clothing

Gone are the days when the nine yard traditional attire was a part of our everyday life. The saree is now replaced with short dress, low waist jeans and off course tops that flaunt one's asessts to extremes.

Food

Foods like burgers, pizza, pastas and the works have all been introduced by the west. Indians today cannot live without these high calorie foods which is why we have n number of obese people in India.

Toilet

Did you ever wonder why it's called a ‘western toilet', isn't it obvious? It is one of the many things Indians have copied from the west. Health Fact: the sitting position chokes the rectum and puts unnatural strain while the squatting position is more relaxed.

Accents

Take a trip overseas and meet those Indians with a firang accent! If it's over your limit, just notice an Indian talking to a foreigner, its more than enough!

Table Manners

Many a times, we notice Indians enjoying naan and dal with a fork and knife! Like, seriously? Only wannabes love to follow this style!

Toothbrush

Instead of babool and neem sticks which provide better strength to our teeth and gums we have adopted the handy toothbrush and paste with artifical ingredients.

Cheer Girls

Cheer girls were only seen at international sports, but today IPL is not intresting without the fancy and bubbly cheer girls.

Diapers

Babies bums.... Are always covered with fibre-gel diabers. Those were the days when we Indians preferred cloth nappies. This is one of the many things we Indians have copied from the west.

Bath Tubs

Bath tubs and bath salts.... Wow, what a wonderful feeling. But did you know that by indulging in them, you are just soaking in your own dirt and grime!!

Handshakes

Our namastheys replaced with a firm handshake. This is another thing Indians have copied from the west. Funny as it sounds, there are some people who don't even know how to give out a handshake.
