Indianon here.

Not a western born Indian on an immigrant. I'm an actual Indian living in the country. In actual poverty without basic plumbing, sanitation, and all of that.

You don't cope. No coping.

Labelling yourself as belonging to a country is retarded. Just do the best you can as a person based on the best choices you have available. No need to base your identity around living in a shitty culture. Just be grateful that you have your arms, legs, and a brain to figure life out even in the worst of circumstances. Have hope and never give up :)
