‘Reels is not patriotism’: Woman at Delhi airport slams co-passengers’ loud chants
A flyer’s post about fellow travellers at Delhi airport has prompted a discussion about the lack of civic sense in some Indians.
The growing trend of filming ‘patriotic’ content in public spaces drew fresh criticism after a flyer at Delhi airport posted about a group chanting slogans and shooting reels. She slammed them for being insensitive and lacking civic sense.
“Why Indians are Like This? the flyer wrote. She continued that while at Delhi airport, travelling from Vietnam to Malaysia, she came across a group of Indian travellers who randomly started chanting and making reels.

“If you are so patriotic then why travel to another country? If you wanna make the reels you make it without shouting and disturbing others,” she continued.
The woman completed her post with a picture that showed an individual holding an Indian passport with a ticket kept within.

A third remarked, “If you’re proud of your country, you should also respect others around you. Being loud and disturbing people at the airport isn’t needed. Travelling abroad doesn’t mean you’re not patriotic.” A fourth wrote, “This is straight-up insecurity, not fun. Some of us Indians have a mentality of barking about our country and its culture everywhere.”
