One Face of NRIs
by imran patel on Sep 04, 2007 07:14 PM

Friends,
I would like to share my visit to NJ/NY 2 weeks back.

I visted a place called OAK TREE in NJ. Same street where they had the Independence day celebration.

It was just Pathetic. The place is now totally "DESI". You hardly see whites there. It is so Dirtly. People throwing thrash on the road. Bottle, plastic bags, spoiled food thrown on the foot path. I also saw many stray CATS.

The car drivers (ALL DESIS) had not sense and absolutely no patience. They use the HORN just like in India shouting at Pedestrians and other drivers.

People work illegally at Indian stores where they are paid cash and hence do NOT pay taxes. People buy cash without receipts, hence evading sales TAX. The place is neglected when compared to other parts of the US. It is a "GETTO".

It is Mostly inhabited by Gujjus. You could see the thrash left behind from the Independence Day parade (Pamplets and Small Flags).

US is a great country because people respect the LAW of the Land. They respect individual rights. These immigrants in OAK TREE have created a "MINI-INDIA". You can see people spitting on the roads.

It gives a very bad name to the overall Indian Community in the US.

Why do we do this ?
Why don't we think twice before breaking the LAW ?
Why don't we think twice before cheating the system ?
Why do we not respect individual rights ?
Why can't we keep our surrounding clean ?

Is it part of our DNA now ?
