India is currently the most populous country on Earth and even though you stated that you were not asking this with racist intent, it could still be offensive, at least based on the title

I hope people aren't that sensitive.

well gosh I hope people aren't lying about where they are from

How do you even define "where they are from"? Their nationality, their country of birth, their country of residence? Those can be three different things. For me, the flag I show matches one of them, but not the other two...

For me the flag means citizenship if you are a citizen you are Indian and are devouted to that country.

Well, I'm not Indian, neither by citizenship nor by country of birth nor by country of residence nor by any other criteria. I just used my example to show that nationality/citizenship, country of birth and country of residence aren't necessarily the same.

As for being devoted to the country of citizenship: Am I really devoted to my country of citizenship? I don't think so.

Super obvious troll "Just asking questions". Makes it hard for the mods to action but doesn't make it any less racist in intent and underlying motivation.
