While Rajeev has highlighted the attitude towards Hindus in India and some other nations, in countries like Malaysia and Singapore the \\\"dark skinned\\\" Indians have no place in society and are pariahs. No doubt there are exceptions but even the succesful ones concur that they had a lot to fight for. Indians have got nothing by having been part of the independance movement in these countries and worked hard towards nation building. Right from my childhood I have experienced this. It doesn\\\'t help that Indians don\\\'t have a sense of solidarity (disunity among language groups) and worse still the Indian expatriates from India and the local Indians don\\\'t get along. You would not find this kind of divisiveness among the Chinese and I admire them for their resilience and resistance to being exploited or dominated by the majority (although I do not like their arrogance and utter contempt for other races and their despicable behaviour as a majority in Singapore). Right now, Indians in Malaysia and Singapore are losing out to other races in employment, education and business and I definitely foresee many who can migrate to the West will do so (like the Kenyan and Ugandan Indians)
