Let's face it. We've been rocking at this "unity in diversity" thing even before Chetan Bhagat and Two States came along. We've all stolen paranthas from our Punjabi friend's tiffin and we swear by the filter coffee that our Southy friends bring back from their visits back home. Durga Pujas and Navratras have always been our pet excuses to go on shopping sprees and come out decked in finery, and then, there are the hundreds of kinds of weddings. Despite that, we choose to forget the beauty of unique differences among people. We're all guilty of trying to make our lives simpler by grouping communities into easily identifiable stereotypes. These stereotypes are oversimplified, nasty, offensive and more often than not, entirely baseless fabrications of an ignorant mind.

7. South Indians

Of course. There is no such thing as states in Southern India. There is only Madras. Why bother understanding the amazing variety in culture, cuisine and geography when we can just be blind to it all?

8. Likewise, North Easterns

They look the same to you, so they come from the same area, and must all be the same kind of people too. Makes total sense. NOT.
