what are your top 3 hetalia India headcanons ? :>

ooooo tough one...I think if i had to pick just 3:

He/they/she love animals. Adores them, picks up and feeds strays, rehabilitates wild animals, the whole shebang. India has had so many pets of their life time that its litterally uncountable, but he has an especially big soft spot for cats.

Ashoka the Great completely rewrote Indias perspective on morality- famously coming to power through mass slaughter only to see the error of his ways and swear himself to non-violence? Revolutionary. Ashokas sign is still on the Indian flag to this day.

India, though they dont like fighting, are still pretty competant at it. You dont live for thousands of years wandering between several dozens of waring kingdoms without picking up some solid self defence. Still, theyre more a scholar and a carer than a fighter, and honestly find most of their 'job' (prior to the Raj) in being a diplomat and a peace broker for whatever side theyve throw n their lot in with this time.....

And a forth hust for fun:

India has terrible taste in men. Just the worst. People ask them for their advice on everything EXCEPT romance because yes they may be (comparitively) wise and sensible, but they are also inexorably drawn to a string of the most socially terrible men on the globe and literally no one understands why
