Deja Vu
by JACOB JOHN on Dec 07, 2007 11:06 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

We always want to help others while our own house is on fire. Now this "other" doesnot belowng to the "we"....The columnist has rightly put the sentence "What is so Indian about these Indians"....they donot consider themselves as Indians......
I had an experience...while in Paris in my office met a person who looked Indian....happy to find an Indian in a all french work group I went and started talking...Asked him whether he was Indian...he said no he is a Malyasian....left India long long back....and didnot say a word after that...stopped talking....I was taken back....

When they dont want to be called Indians...why should we be worried about them....they enjoy more privilege than the common indians...

why do people say they met one person who behaved like this so it must be true for all people of his community? Dont judge like that. Makes you look stupid.
