I cannot understand why we get offended by anything and everything someone says about us as a country or a people. The right way is to investigate the statement made by Mr. Mundie. If found to be correct, let us work towards fixing it, if not, we can move on. All this dicussion about pride is counter productive. I personally can give you multiple instances in my college life when I asked interesting questions and was in a kind way asked to shut up in class. That is a cold hard fact that students all over India face on a daily basis. We just like to sweep everything under the rug and that comes back to bite us later.
