With the hustle bustle on social media, relevant hashtags have become the new trend. And even when there is nothing worthwhile trending on the Internet, people are busy cracking jokes or locking horns in photoshop battles or caption competitions. As if all that was not all, millennials love to create their own trends on social media nowadays. So, after the hit #BindiTwitter selfie trend on the micro-blogging site recently, #FinePeopleFromIndia took the spotlight.

With the hashtag, Indians around the globe – mostly NRIs – started posting pictures of themselves on Twitter. But, it soon turned into a hot topic when many used it to make a point, counter stereotyped and highlighted the prejudices in a foreign counter. Probably, the best part about the trend is that it highlighted the country’s rich diversity and celebrated it in its own way.

From a ‘hijab-clad’ Indian woman to ‘curly and hairy men’ from India, this trend is also a conversations starter. Sample these:

We’re not the “curry” people or the “chai” people.
We don’t put “bindi” on our forehead all the time or we don’t wear “saree” all the time.
Our country is secular. Different religions, caste, tribes. ❤
We are human just like y’all. #FinePeopleFromIndia pic.twitter.com/xHkuYoopYQ
