I agree with the overall argument of Ram. But what belies me is his attempt a subtle justification for the arson and looting that took place in New Orleans post Katrina. Is rape and murder a justified reaction to not getting food and water for 3 to 4 days. Let us not forget that even in Mumbai there were people who dod not help even after 3-4 days. But no such thing happened. Ram is only trying to satisfy his ego since he is working in the US. We Indians are better humans and definately ready to help each other in time of crisis. This is infact part of our culture. Ram seems to have forgotten this since he stays in the US
