Friend asked if there are buildings in Assam 💀

So I dont know if this is the correct place to post this, but a few days ago, me and my friend (she is a Gujarati but lives in Mumbai) were scrolling through reels while having lunch in our university campus. We are in Gujarat btw, and a reel popped up on my Instagram about Guwahati, it was like a drone shot view of Guwahati and my friend comes closer to me and asks if this is my city, I say yes and she looks at me for a few seconds and says "Assam me buildings bhi hai?" you can imagine my disbelief at this question, I was like tf? I just said "kyun nhi hoga?" And she replied with "Mujhe lga tha sirf chote chote ghar hi hai" I had to take a deep breath before processing what she just said 💀 not to mention that my roommate who is Manipuri constantly hears people call her "Chinese" and what not even after them knowing she is Manipuri. Even in this day and age people are not educated about their own damn country.
