Type Of Indians - 1

Everyone knows about the variety india offers in terms of almost everything. To be honest all the variety comes from people. India has so diverse sub cultures and population races that it is bound to produce variety.India has 26 main languages and more than 1500 dialects..phew!that's more than the population of some european countries (just joking!). India is all about numbers and indians are tottally smitten by numbers- starting from describing the beauty of a woman to strange demograhic stats..it's all about numbers. Here's a take- there's more "Guptas" is india than "people" in Austria  The most amazing thing is how these cultures and races co-exist and work their way through co-operation and competition. Sounds contradictory...hell ya ! it's pure contradiction...but that's what india is all about.

So lets talk about the epicenter of all variety- The people!

To understand different kind of indians the best thing is to understand how they look how they think, how they eat and what they aim for. I will try to explain different kind of indians based on their states. I will consider four criteria - Looks, Life, Food and motto. it would be very tough to cover all states but....

Lets get started...Starting from top..

1) KASHMIR:  I think kashmir is a lot different from jammu. Kashmir has muslim dominated population, different terrain, different thinking and food.

Looks: i love kashmiri women..Kashmiri women are among the most beautiful in India. They have an English rosiness of complexion behind the Eastern tan. Men are also fit since most of them are farmers. Apart from kashmiri pandits everyone is more o less associated with farming. You may not like strong flavours after you get off the bed in morning but you just cannot deny it if a petite kashmiri girl (wearing a nice pheran) is serving fresh kehwa to you.

Food: If the women are so beautiful, the food has to be tasty: start the day with kehwa and gorge on masala rajma with freshly boiled rice.

Life: Terrorism destroyed lot of life. But kashmiris are about tolerence and suffering. Stone throwing has become a favourite pastime.

Motto: Gar firdaus bar rue zamin ast,hami asto, hami asto, hami asto (If there's a paradise anywhere on earth, it's here, it's here, it's here!)

PUNJAB: Punjab literally means five rivers. This state is a rich agricultural state and is the texas of india with huge stakes in farming.

Looks: Women are good, men not. Women are good till they are unmarried. There;s this strange thing about punjabi women that i don't understand. They look pretty but then they get married and become exact carbon copy of their moms.Punjab da puttars generally have strong build and are good drinking partners but pretty bad driving partners.

Food: Iam not exactly fond of punjabi food. They are good in eating but not in preparation of food. Ask any punjabi to prepare a chicken curry and he will start frying the chicken with lots of tomato paste. Ask him to prepare mutton curry and he will do the same. Of course he will replace chicken with mutton. the only authentic food you can have in punjab is sarso da saag and makke di roti. also don't forget the huge glass of sweetened lassi. Punjabis  alone are responsible for consuming almost half of butter produced in india. Butter in everything!

Life: One thing- punjabis are full of life.Lots of food, Lots of bhangara, lots of sharab.

Motto: Singh is King

DELHI: Uh! the capital of india and the heart of india. Many delhites will be offended by this- but ho jhao bhai..truth is truth!

Look: Delhi is made up of mixed populations - primarily from Punjab and UP. People in delhi or Delhi-ites are almost comparable to punjabis. Girls are the same- Long straight hair and slightly plum- It has something to do with the butter in diet.It's again same in delhi. Delhi gals looks cute till they get married. Men in Delhi are always aroused and we record the highest rape incidents in delhi

Life: Hopping from one shopping mall to another is the favourite timepass here. Hyundai sells 70% of its santros here. In delhi it seems like everyone owns atleast one santro. People think that you should have more than one car.What good if you don't have a gaddi. and what good if you dont have a 5000 watts sound system in the gaddi. What good if you don't roll down the window and blast the music off . Delhites are low on etiquette and use a spectrum of abuses in normal conversations. Bhen**** is part of normal conversation and is considered as an instrument to show dearness or dislikeness in a perticular conversation circle. Quite strange!

Food: Chole-bhature is the thing. I have seen people making a trip to delhi just to eat chole bhature. Also worth trying are different type of parathas and naans in purani delhi and shammi kebab in khan market

.

Motto: What is life without some show off
