5 common stereotypes that Russians have about Indians

Jan 11 2014

The sheer distance between the countries and a lack of people-to-people contact
has led the creation of a lot of stereotypes about Indians in the minds of
Russians.

Despite the fact that an increasing number of Russians and Indians are visiting
each other’s countries, the common person in both countries still lacks adequate
knowledge of customs, traditions and the general culture and the people of the
other country. Russians have long been fascinated by India, a country, which has
always been looked upon as exotic, colourful and exciting, but sometimes have
funny ideas about Indians. Here are the most common stereotypes about Indians in
Russia.

1. Everyone mediates and is a yoga expert

India is obviously known for its spirituality, and being the birthplace of yoga
and philosophies that emphasise meditation like Buddhism has made many a Russian
think that being an Indian equals being some sort of spiritual person who can
perform all sorts of yogic asanas. I can never forget my first ever yoga class
in Russia when there were more eyes on me than on the instructor. It was doubly
embarrassing since my yoga skills were never something I could be proud of, let
alone qualify me to teach others.

2. All Indians are vegetarians

Forget stereotypes, discover the real Moscow

Stereotyping Russian women? India needs to rethink...

I am not ashamed of being a meat-lover and I enjoy my shashliks as much as any

Russian does and yes, my agnostic beliefs forbid me from considering any animal
holy or unclean. Imagine my horror after accepting a (post-winter hike) dinner
invitation only to find out that my considerate host went out of her way to cook
a completely vegetarian meal! I was looking forward to being a complete
carnivore after struggling through the cold winter trek in the mountains and
there was an array of potato dishes and salads.

Many of my Russian friends were genuinely shocked to know that it is possible to

be a vegetarian and a Hindu. Well, the Rajputs didn’t become such a strong and
tough lot by making lentils their main source of protein.
3. Bollywood movies

Why is it so hard to believe that there are a large number of people from
Bombay, the home of Bollywood, who just don’t like the traditional three-hour
long musical Indian films? Hindi films are definitely not as popular in Russia
as they were in the Soviet days but then there are those who swear by them. I
hate to break the hearts of some of these people by telling them that I am not a
fan of most Hindi films. What happened to judging each film based on its merits?
I would apply the same yardstick to Russian or Hollywood movies for that
matter.

4. Indians are by and large followers of Gandhi

Although the recent press coverage about gang rapes have made many rethink about
how they view India, most people in Russia still associate the country with
Mahatma Gandhi. “You must have a photo of Gandhi in your house?” – There is no
way I can possibly describe the expression of shock on the face of the person
who asked me that question when I responded in the negative.

Other Russian friends of mine who were impressed with Richard Attenborough’s
film on the non-violent freedom fighter expressed dismay when they interacted
with urban Indians who didn’t have nice things to say about Gandhiji. “In one
month in Bangalore, I heard more bad things about Gandhi than I heard in 40
years in my life in Moscow and Berlin,” a Russian journalist and close friend of
mine said after a business trip to India’s information technology capital.

Read section: Karma Bhoomi

India may not have the gun culture of the United States or have to deal with
drunken hooliganism on the streets like some countries in Eastern Europe, but it
can hardly be classified as a society of non-violent Gandhians. Perhaps the fact
that such a stereotype exists may be a testament to how good Indian diplomacy
has been in Russia all these years.

5. The Indian head shake

I am willing to admit that many relatives and friends of mine are practitioners
of the Indian head shake, but it is not as common as Russians (or any
foreigners) make it out to be. It’s rather irritating to get the head shake from
Russians who have been to southern India and think that this is some form of
endearment.

Some Russian spouses of Indians have also managed to pick up this habit and have
made it a normal part of their communication repertoire. Of course, I am more
than willing to excuse these people who have formed a habit of doing the head
shake than those who want to show it as some form of affection.

Note: I didn’t write anything about cows on the streets of big cities, since
that is too common an occurrence to be titled a stereotype.
