A Reddit user, an NRI residing in Krakow, Poland, shared a post titled "From an Indian to an Indian" detailing their disappointment with some fellow Indian passengers' behavior during a recent flight from Munich to Delhi. At the airport, they observed Indian co-passengers being excessively loud and playing Instagram reels at full volume, which contrasted with the quieter atmosphere in other areas. They also noticed instances of queue jumping, causing inconvenience to those patiently waiting.

Onboard, the Redditor experienced further discomfort as passengers swapped seats to sit with family, creating confusion and delays. Their own seat neighbor took up shared armrest space and removed her shoes, emitting an odor that disturbed nearby passengers. Staff later offered them balm to mask the smell. Additionally, they were struck by the lack of consideration toward a disabled passenger, whose path to her luggage was blocked by others eager to leave.

The user concluded by urging fellow Indians to be mindful of how their actions reflect on the country, emphasizing that even minor behavioral changes could make a significant impact. They clarified their intentions, affirming pride in their nationality yet expressing sadness over behavior that they feel misrepresents India.
