sadaChiddi, our country had always welcomed other cultures and also provided solace to the persecuted population from the world over, be it Parsis, Jews, Bengladeshis in 1971Dalai Lama or the Palestanians now in the UN Sponsored Refugee camps in Delhi who fled their home land due to persecution of another section of their own religion.
We had even paid surcharge on Pastage Stamps and BEST bus tickets for the benefit of Bengladeshi Refugees!!!!! That is called culture. Not what we eat or how we dress!!!! Nor the old crumbling monuments!!!!!!!
