An American content creator has triggered a discussion online with his Instagram post about Indian men. John, who has spent considerable time living in India, stated that "Indian men easily go into lecture mode". He elaborated that a single sentence from him often prompts a lengthy 30-minute lecture from Indian men. “I have lived in India for a while now, and I realised that Indian men easily go into lecture mode. What I mean is that I could say one sentence and all of a sudden, I am getting a 30-minute lecture. I didn’t even say or do anything wrong, and I am still getting a lecture. Sometimes, it is something they don’t know anything about,” John, who is married to an Indian woman, said in the video. “For example, I might say something about American culture, and they are lecturing me about American culture. One time, an Indian wife told her husband, you know if you actually listen to John, you might learn something. He was completely shocked about the idea of listening to me. It’s like he had no idea it was an option,” John added.
