Understanding Stereotypes in Indian Society
Characteristics of Stereotypes: Stereotypes are oversimplified beliefs about a group of people. These generalized perceptions are often inaccurate and fail to account for individual differences. Common stereotypes in India include ideas such as all Indians are poor or that they only eat curry. These beliefs overlook the vast diversity within the country, both in terms of culture and economic status.
