What does India mean to you?
When I see the Indian Army defend our country or do a good job, I feel proud to be Indian. But I don't feel good (about India) when I read reports of women being raped or that they have to protest for basic things like safety. Being Indian is to execute and observe laws. All I see is government making new laws such as the new citizenship law, and people not ready to accept them. But there are many laws that keep us safe, on which we all agree — laws on cleanliness and women's safety. As Indians, we should observe these laws. But people call me anti-Indian because I really love foreign countries (laughs).
