The Coconut Generation
by Hamzah on Aug 07, 2008 11:26 PM

Brown by skin white by heart.
Driven by guilt of leaving India and parents behind.
Driven by guilt of belonging to Indian hence over critical of Indian heritage in front of others to proove that "We are not like THEM".
In interviews act smart and ask difficult questions to another person of Indian origin to make it a point that we don't show mercy.
NRIs are like those who used to lick boots of britshers in order to retain some land and designation or government job. Like those indians who used to be in police beating up freedom fighters and will prove their loyalty to Angrez. It is such a pity that 1857 freedom struggle was lost because East India Company employeed INDIAN Soldiers to fight against other Indians.
NRIs look for opportunities to make money even from masjid and mandir by organizing events in the name of culture and religion.
NRI go to masjid and mandir less to offer prayers but to eat Indian food.
NRI act as if the Indian walking next to them on street will loot them if they smile.
NRI first try to find out what their Indian colleague is wearing and driving.
NRI send money back to India and they think they are done with their duties.
It is wrong to genralize but most of the Indians of wary of fellow indians might be because if u act friendly they mistake you as some from AMFI or other sales company trying to befriend you and then sell something or take u to some seminar.NRI most of the time compete with each other to be lesser Indians and use us accent.
