What do we expect the crew and fellow passegers to do with such idiots? They were supposedely asked number of times to sit down, not do things whicha re not to be done on board. They were fools it seems, and the crew did what ought to be done.
I have travelled in US, and there is not an iota of racism here. We may infact be more racist than them. If we dont act against terrorism in the name of our so called secularism, pls dont expect that no one else should.
I support the action what was done. If some one acts suspiciously, the authorities should act, and there is bound to be some incoveneince, thats OK. If we Indians dont act, rather than finding faults, we should learn.
By the way, with all the bombings and almost all linked to either Gulf or South Asia, what do we expect the world to behave? Love us?

Hey Raj,
You dont have to feel ashamed of anything. There are rotten people in every nationality. In this airline harrasment case, it might be plain ignorance or indifference, thus both the crew & the "mis-behaving" passegers have contributed to the confusion.
Indians are travelling a lot more now than any of the previous generations, & there is a learning curve when it come to foreign cultures etc. So dont go over board saying that these guys made you feel ashamed to be an Indian.. did Iraq invasion by the American president make all the self-respecting Americans feel the same way?
Think about it & be judicious in shooting words, just for the effect!
