Reading Rajeev's article above and the reader's posts below, I get the distinct impression that as Indians we : 1. Are quick to critize and reluctant in praise 2. Quick to spot anything which hurts our sentiments and slow to accept any praise that is showered on us. Are we being cynical or is there a feeling amongst urban Indians that taking praise/optimism expressed at it's face value is somewhat ingnoble/foolish. Do we have to search for demons even when someone is telling us that we scrwed up in the past and the future is turning out better? Some people are expressing doubts on Kaveri delta vs Godavari delta. It is just a reflection of the insecurity of the telugu person I presume he wants his lands name to be mentioned in the article prominently. Assuming it were mentioned then the comment would be on something else.
