Subcontinent Indians feel that they could have and should have been the ones to invent the modern world.

They believe they invented numbers and zero and science, and Europeans stole their birthright from them, kept them down. They also feel a huge insecurity and inadequacy that even after the West stopped oppressing them they couldn't be the modern leader in inventing things and being a powerhouse like China - it's their identity that they're the smartest people in the room, but the results say they're not.

So there's this huge reservoir of self-hate and self-loathing in their lack of accomplishments with Europeans as the target for it.

I know because I used to work alongside a LOT of Indians at a green card tech company and I saw their culture firsthand. They'd come at me with some stupid IQ test like the wolf/goat/river problem and I'd give them the answer right away after they spent like half an hour on it. They would seethe about it because their identity was being smarter and they weren't.
