To understand Indian culture, look at RK Laxman cartoon

To understand the Bharatiya mindset, look at RK Laxman's "Common Man".

He is typically a Witness. That's how Bhartiya spirituality, to be specific Advaita, defines the true self. As the unchangeable witness. It asserts this life at Earth is just a passing dream. Things will happen as per the role of Karma. So the Bhartiya just watches mostly, and moves on. If needed, he'll stick around to clean up the remains. But raising his voice for course correction is not his typical inclination.

The other aspect is his Simplicity. How he makes silly mistakes or looks in wonder and disbelief at happenings around him. He doesn't question or scratch his head to solve. He just observes, accepts it like that and moves on..

The third aspect is his lack of Resources. He's dressed in simple dhoti shirt, an old umbrella-cum-walking stick. Clothes rugged and the general feel of an average lower middle class aging man.

Humorous but much different - thankfully in some aspects - from the Bhartiya of 2018. Not to be taken for a ride, middle class on average, and most importantly, young, with an average age of around 30!

But definitely the mindset of the "Common Man" is our true legacy, something that we should look back upon, cherish, and retain in parts.
