The title brought a smile on my face. When we grew up there was no internet (I saw a computer when I was 21) but there was no shortage of memes in the air. Most loved meme run like this, “We, Indians, found x before y”.
In South India we loved football and the meme I cherished was this, “Maradona emigrated from kerala”.
When the internet came, I was frantically searching for the list of Indians who are at the top of everything. It took me a while to realise it was my own inferiority playing with me. The truth is painful but it liberates - a confession.
