....This is India
by Vijay on Aug 08, 2008 07:50 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

"If I were asked under what sky the human mind has most fully developed some of its choicest gifts, has most deeply pondered on the greatest problems of life, and has found solutions, I should point to India"
Max Mueller


"India was the mother of our race and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages. She was the mother of our philosophy, mother through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics, mother through Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity, mother through village communities of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all."
Will Durant


"In India, I found a race of mortals living upon the Earth, but not adhering to it, inhabiting cities, but not being fixed to them, possessing everything, but possessed by nothing"
Apollonius Tyanaeus quotes (Neo-Pythagorean)

Ha ha....

he is the 1st person who is absuing his Ancestors... the people who did all these at India were your fore fathers too :)

And more importantly .... you are their blood...

If you can help in improving anything you don't have any rights to speak about it...

Try to make it and not break it... don't rush to pay off the mortgage... coins have two sides...

Our culture teaches to respect everyone... not like yours :) Adapt good things

raj brother,
who is this people? it is we, who spit on the streets, breaking queues and breaking traffic signals. don't talk the change, walk the change. i assure you won't see the results this generation, maybe the next, or the next, but put in the process, be a proud Indian youth. there is nothing wrong in taking small steps, when you don't even take one!
And brother, people break rules all over the world, America, Europe, Africa everywhere....look at it that way!!
Be proud to be an Indian, brother!!

brother,
please continue living in the states happily, we will work hard and make our country better.
and remember, it is all a matter of perspective, to me, killing innocent lives in a foreign land for the sake of "oil" is a much much bigger crime than spitting on the streets!
but as i said, it is all a matter of perspective.
leave in peace :-)

Your revelations about India are excellent and that is what I said in my post "True PIO", i.e. most of the metro Indians live in the past.

What is wrong in feeling proud about the post? Aren't you proud about your father, mother? Are you just forget them, because they are from the past? A proud citizen, will never do anything that will hard his fellow citizen or his country.
Be positive brother! We have lots to do!!

Learn from the past, live in the present and plan for the future.

Today, we feel proud of our past, forget it in our own working and imitate to be westernized (modern).

brother, AK!
If you are truly proud, inspired, and love the country, your every action will reflect that! be it in your professional or your personal life. let us not give up hope, let us keep doing small things right, remember it is only those small steps that we take will ultimately take us to our destination!!

Vijay..I appreciate ur effort..Let us not care about this "so-called-disciplined" NRIs. Its important to stop people spitting on road. Even more important is stop people like raj spitting on image of India globally.
Raj, If u think India is a shit then that shit will be on u wherever u go..no matter u hold a green card...!!

brother,
what joy do you get in abusing India? I'm sure your name suggests you are an Indian, but please do not abuse. It doesn't do any good to any body.
Yes, there are things that doesn't quite look right in our beloved land, but that doesn't mean we should abuse.

Change is what I am doing. I grew up in India & US and then moved to India and made my children grow up in US & India. They can be classified good Indian & US Citizens and their friends imitate them and take my advice and are changing in their thinking.

Not just clean streets and filty mouth.
