Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev believes that the Indian civilization does not need to show superiority to exhibit pride and values liberation above all else.

“So this is misunderstood as we don't have pride in who we are. We have a lot of pride in who we are. But our pride is not an obscene pride as being superior to you. Our pride is just uh we value we value things in a certain way.”

Modi views Indian culture as a unified civilization defined by deep cultural bonds and philosophical traditions rather than just an administrative system.

“India is a cultural identity. It is a civilization that dates back thousands of years.”

Namit Malhotra argues that India needs to take more pride in its culture and present its stories with the same marketing strength as other countries.

“we don't take enough pride and present that in the same way that uh you know other countries or cultures would do with their own let's say superheroes or whatever.”
