Vishwaguru Without Civic Sense? Many Indians genuinely believe the world looks at us with admiration and awe. We are constantly told that India is becoming a “Vishwaguru.” A moral and cultural guide to humanity. But step outside India and observe carefully. The reality is often very different. Across airports, hotels, beaches, public transport systems and tourist destinations worldwide, Indians are increasingly developing a reputation that should worry us deeply. Too many Indians travel abroad carrying entitlement instead of civic sense. Anyone who has travelled extensively has seen it. Families speaking loudly inside silent trains in Japan. People cutting queues at airports in Europe. Tourists touching protected monuments despite repeated warnings. Groups blasting music on peaceful beaches in Thailand and Bali. Passengers aggressively arguing with airline staff over baggage rules that everyone else quietly follows. Some even proudly try “Indian tricks” abroad, sneaking extra people into hotel rooms, hiding food in restricted places, or treating every rule as a system to outsmart rather than respect. In India, this behaviour is often romanticised as smartness or “jugaad.” Abroad, it is seen for what it actually is, dishonesty, disorder and lack of civic culture. Not all Indians behave this way, of course. But enough do for the stereotype to now exist globally. A few years ago, a viral incident from Bali showed an Indian family caught stuffing hotel accessories into their luggage. Hair dryers, decorative items and bathroom fittings. The defence was immediate, offering to pay once caught, as though money could erase the behaviour itself. The incident became social media comedy. But the deeper issue was the mindset. The belief that rules apply to others, not to us. And unfortunately, this mindset travels with us everywhere. We speak emotionally about India’s ancient civilisation. But civilisation is not measured by old scriptures alone. It is measured by how citizens behave in public spaces. Do we keep our surroundings clean? Do we respect silence where silence is expected? Do we follow rules without supervision? Do we think about the comfort of strangers? Slowly, the consequences appear. More scrutiny at immigration. More stereotypes. More silent distancing. More frustration from hosts who no longer see Indian tourists as easy guests. The uncomfortable truth is this. No country becomes respected because its citizens loudly declare themselves superior. Real respect is earned quietly. Japanese football fans clean stadiums after matches. Singaporeans follow rules even when there is no policeman in sight. Many European societies function smoothly because people treat public spaces with dignity and think collectively, not selfishly. Meanwhile, many Indians increasingly mistake loud nationalism for global admiration. It is not the same thing. If India genuinely wants respect on the world stage, we need less chest thumping and more introspection. Less obsession with “Vishwaguru” and more focus on civic sense, humility, honesty and discipline. Because the world is judging us by how we behave when nobody is watching
