Sorry to say this Indians are materialistic however they try to deny. Think dowry!! Number two why blame/trash US? Americans have never attacked or colonized India. In fact all the development that has occurred in India after the IT revolution is attributed to companies in US. I have seen shootings in India also. I grew up in Bombay and there was plenty of violence around. Most people who post comments here are from sheltered middle class families who comprise only 20% of Indian population. The rest live in poverty for whom no other Indians care.
