we all are fans of Dark Academia, it is just too beautiful to ignore. But have you seen Dark Academia from my heritage? No? Well, it has been going on for centuries, and here are some pictures of our beautiful India embracing the Dark Academia aesthetic and bringing a new essence to it.

I honestly feel ashamed I completely cut off my heritage and decided to embrace my American side instead of the one that runs through my veins. I am so sorry Gods, but I have learned from my mistakes and I AM learning, again, everything about the ancenstors whose blood runs through my veins, and I am proud to call myself an Indian, because, yes, we have flaws, MANY flaws, but we are still a developing country, and the new generation is, in fact, bringing a change in our country. And to any Indian, be it you have even just a little ounce of our heritage, do not be ashamed. Embrace it, because desi is beautiful, not just from the outside, but also from the inside. To any Indian reading this, reblog and spread the hashtag around. #Desi is Beautiful . And if you too suffer with Indian Racism (yes, it is very much a thing), know that I am here for you and so is everyone else. We are tough blooded, tough minded, stubborn but open to all other religions and countries, and it is time that it is known, that our country is not dirt and we don't live on farms or whatever you are said. Let it be known that we are just as beautiful as every other nationality, embrace this heritage, because it is an honor to be an Indian.

We have bollywood, we have samosas, we have awesome food, we have a whole another style of dance and music, and being Desi is one of the best things in the world.
