Indian exceptionalism is the belief that India is an exceptional country with an exceptional culture. This view is held by many Indians.[1] Among unique ideas held are that India is a civilization state with a superior culture and society, its perceived elaborate cohesive society of a wide range of ethnicities, and its widespread influence of its cuisine.[2][3][4][5]
