I have only ONE question for people whose knee-jerk reaction is to put India down :
WHAT HAS INDIA EVER DONE TO YOU?
We have no history of slavery or foreign invasion. We have never harmed Americans or US interests -- rather we have actively sought friendship and offered to co-operate in matters of terrorism of which we too are targets. So what's your beef? And don't give me that "take care of your poor people first" -- we have made tremendous strides in that department which you clearly don't know about.
It seems that every time someone posts something about India, everyone wants to join in and put India down. Pretty easy to do, huh? An easy target to vent your pent up anger.
We gave the world Yoga, Buddhism (yes!) and Gandhi's doctrine of non-violence. Ever heard of a Hindu terrorist? Indians in America are one of the wealthiest immigrant groups -- we have VERY low levels of violent crime. Yet we are stereotyped by every movie and TV series that depicts an Indian. I'm sorry but this is MY breaking point.
It is one thing to be un-appreciated but another matter entirely to be put down when you clearly don't deserve it!!
