Iam amazed at what I am seeing. We go through a rough time and you turn this around to suite yourselves. If you are an indian who was born in Kenya, are you a kenyan or an Indian. If you see yourself different from the rest of kenyan then you should pack and leave because we all are kenyans of different races and tribes. if you can not respect the people who have live in the country you have invaded, then you are trending on very wrong grounds. I did not mind the Indians being around because being a kikuyu I know they offer good competation but with 5% of the population, you realise you are too few to be arrogant. Kenyans are very proud of their country thats why we will not entertain any one who uses the situation now to suite theselves. Kikuyus, kisiis, etc have been killed! killed! their businesses were looted too. all you see is - Indians are being targeted and how many were killed? please this is not the time for playing victim as a race. If you are rich, as you say, what about the europeans and also very rich africans here, when robbed, what do they say? Please dont get arrogant on us because this is kenya not india. Try it in Tanzania it may work because maybe maybe they have patience with arrogancy.

Hmm.. Although Rajendran's comment was thoughtful, I do find substance in our African mate's comment, too. . You see - many, many people are being killed here and he is just trying to say this: Don't put it across as if only Indians are being killed. . There is this other point also - since Kenya is the adopted country of these indians, they should work towards a solution there instead of trying to escape the situation.

It is high time Africans come out of their inferiority complexes and stop this kind of an empty talk. The learned comment by Rajendran should be commended and learn a cue from to come out of this complex.
Hot headedness is the last thing poor nations can ill afford
I dont know how you came to know about this site, if you are a Kenyan. I don't find any arrogance in this article, but there is arrogance in the comments written by people from India, in this forum. At the same time there are mature comments from ethnic Indians born in Africa. Wherever there is unrest due to communal clashes, this will be the outcome and unfortunately its happening in Kenya now. Its true that human life is lost in your country, but we shouldn't fail to see the forces behind this. The cultural/tribal pride in your country is just fueled by the forces waiting to jump on the richness in your country and share the power among themselves. Those hyenas are just waiting for your brothers to settle score by blood. I would like to politely emphasis here that its not that Indians or the Indian-Kenyans are arrogant. Its just they are trying to look for an escape from the SITUATION in the country overpowered by other indigenous tribes. The pain caused by the loss of ones mother or sister is the same for anyone no matter what is the color of his skin.
