RE:RE:Self Loving Rejects of India
by Jerkovski on Aug 08, 2008 12:50 AM

Trish - I didnt intend to generalize. But please try and read my statement in context of the article. I have also accepted the weakness of my character as I see it in other NRIs - we all want to go back to India 'next year' but stick on to where we are for selfish reasons. No denying that. But I am comfortable accepting that my being exposed to many cultures, a more liberal society, cutting across time zones to work in various places etc., does not amount to my not being an Indian. Everyone has a right to make the best of their lives and rightly so. But I object to this de-indianisation of one's identity with so called 'success' - which incidentally I think is relative and almost always a mirage.
