As always, our leaders have failed to show the world the strngth of our nation. On one hand, we refused the free flow of money and help from the world, while failing to explain properly why we did that.
Because of this decision you don't see Indians running towards American, or Australian Helicopters, fighting and screaming for food.
Everytime CNN shows an other convoy of US or Australian aid reached Indonesia or Sri Lanka, that's what they show. Colored men running towards their helicopters. Yes it's about pride!
I congratulate our Prime Minister of India, His confidance in us has strengthened & boosted our moral. We the Indians can help our brothers & sisters who are the victims of the tradic Tsunamy. The small countries like Sri Lanka, Indonesia , Thailand should get help from the otherswho are really in very bad position.
