Hi Vishit, I completely agree with you. I am at present in US, and i see a lot of people here embarassed of coming from india. " I am not a typical desi" or "stop being a typical desi" is what i hear a lot of times here. Most of my friends think its their bad luck that they werent born here and instead were born in India. People might say i am being hypocritical staying in US and talking like this but... I dont see a point of coming to US anymore (may be for MONEY).. may be thats a good enough reason ... but certainly not a good enough reason to run away from your country....I agree there are some drawbacks in india but nothing is perfect as you said and I bet US has many drawbacks too....Its just that there are more resources here.,more because its just been may be 400 years that the resources here have been used...I would like to see what US would be like after resources being consumed for 2000 years... Anyway good too read your view.
