Everyone outside my country are idiots-> everyone outside my religion are idiots -> everybody outside my state are idiots -> .institute.->. hostel..-> Everyone outside my room are idiots. We all belong to one of the levels of this tree. And the person belonging to a certain level would consider the person of the lower levels to be narrow minded :)
People talk of being proud of being an Indian on wrong assumptions about westerners and their culture and considers them to be inferior. This pattern is seen at various different levels forming a tree structure. Say if i am at Regional level of this tree i consider people outside my region as inferior and at the same time i blame the person who belongs to the Religion level(one who is biased towards his own religion) of being narrow minded. Similarly the person who sees the country as whole blames the cultural and regional division, forgetting that there is something more than your country called humanity.
Its just that we assume a boundary to our vision and we want something to be proud about (depending on your educational or family background maybe). In short everybody assumes that he is the most open minded person. I am not saying any of them is wrong or correct, it is just relative. Same way as a "pandit" calls me "naastik" (atheist) for rarely visiting the temple and i call my friends "naastik" for not visiting it at all :). The terms Fake and confused is used to emphasize that no matter at which level of the tree you belong to, if you consider yourself as the smartest breed, then you are wrong and you may have been blinded by your emotions. Also the top and bottom of the tree are subjective :)
