PROUD to be an INDIAN.
an american indian or one from india?
What a strange question. How are those who not Indian supposed to give you " the best answer". Why don't you ask your parents/grandparents/aunts/unc... etc... what things you must be proud of.

It would help to know if you were talking about being a Native American Indian or Indian from India.
whether you are from India, or you are a first migratory American, I'd say at the very least you should be proud of your history and the people you come from.

Every people group has value and should be respected even if they have a spotted history, the entire people group should not be judged on the past behavior of some, there is always something positive.
well first of all east indian food kicks serious ***.

some of the indian languages have retroflex sounds which aren't found in many languages and that makes you all have an awsome accent.

you should be proud that there are multiple religions in your country and that one religion, sikhism was the first and perhaps still the only religion to fight for the freedom of religion of another religion.

indian people are generally quite welcoming.

indian people are very inteligent, at least the ones i have met.

indian men and women are quite good looking.

the indian suits are very comfortable and absolutely gorgeous.

btw i'm the other indian, native american indian as in the indiginous people of the americas misnamed indians by columbus.

I'm not looking for the best answer. If you are Indian, you must be proud of your big beautiful eyes. The proof is your eyes.
