I have lived in USA for six years & for three years in S'pore and you tend get these questions from a lot of people there. In the mid-west in USA people are so ignorant that one of the most frequently asked question to me "How can you speak such good english?". But over the years i have realised that it not their fault, much to blame are the british people who in spite of knowing the depth of the Indian culture & our spiritual intelligence have purposefully not educated even their own countrymen forget about the rest of the world. Ofcourse there is a similar reason for the USa too, India was Russia's friend all along and this had put off the americans so much that they decided to shut us out fom their history and instead teach their children that "Iraq is the cradle of civilisation" which is absolutely balderdash. But apart from these reason I have realised that the Indians are also to blame for not having any sort of programme or propoganda to educate teh world about us. Inspite of having a dvierse and rich culture in our own Bharat we are so greedy to learn abotu americans, autralians & eurpoeans and want to imitate them so much that there is hardly any time for being ourselves forget abotu educating others.
