it is been so long i have been reading comments from apna rediff readers. They say all kind of vulgar things about Indians doing well in the US and that reflects their own complex [No, I dont want to know your opinion on it]; and then they expect every indian working abraod to donate to our country! And there is the whole club of those who think that if Indians have left the country for whatever reason then they have lost the right to point out the limitations that we have. We need to get offended about the problems that we have, not about the fact that someone pointed it out. And it is so sick to see these very my fellow indians listen to goras when they point to the same flaws; or for that matter they spew vulagarities against indians living abroad and think that we are so united and nice here while these very people say poisonous things about other indians based on colour, gender, economic status, religion, caste and what not. It just shows a lost, frustrated nation that we have become- the nation that has given up the best that it had and adopted the worst of the west; while the west learns yog, dhyan and karm, we learn the f word, the b word and think that that ought to make us better. We have such inferior complex that we dont even see it anymore.

Condescending attitude appears to be a right owned by indians who ran away to another country. If one is ashamed of their motherland and adopted a new one, it is same as being ashamed of your own mother and getting a new one. Stop looking down on any country or citizens. Learn to respect every human being. Indians living in India are not cheap, they are proud to live in their own country and contribute to it. Same goes for citizens of other countries too.
