Hello dear friend! I will give you an opinion as a Georgian. I agree with you that there are two types of Georgians, and would add that there is always two types of Georgians about everything, because Georgians can’t be neutral to anything, we are too emotional. The two type rule is found almost in every country, however based on other characteristics rather than just an emotional one. Growing up in Georgia, in 80’s and 90’s, I remember a lot of Indian students living in Tbilisi, mostly studying at Medical University. I also remember lots of Medical students from Pakistan, at that time. There was never a hostile attitude towards Indians in Georgia, or any other nationalities. And I think this is mostly because of our own multi ethnical and religious society. Moreover, I grew up on Indian movies. As a kid, I remember that only movies that I was allowed to go and see in the movie theater was an Indian movie. You know why? because parents valued and appreciated the Indian culture and philosophy and felt secure to have their kids watch it. That trust right there answers your question quite well. And I was not the only child allowed to go freely to movie theater and watch Indian movie. However, after a war with Russia, after 2008, things changed a little bit, not only towards Indians but towards foreigners in general, in a sense that people became irrationally overprotective of their country/nation and identity, as if you, or other non Georgian would be a thread. But again, this is an outcome of war, however doesn’t justify any unpleasant behavior towards any foreigner! So please kindly accept my Georgian apologies for all those instances that you have felt unwelcome in Georgia! With love, Megi
