I think here in Bangalore, people seem to have a notion that if one speaks in polished english, you are very much respected. I am telling you this because as a native of Bangalore, I have been observing these people. Any language that is spoken well, is in fact better than English, but ironically, in my opinion, they still consider english as somewhat "high-fi", therefore, if one speaks in english, it would make them less likely to call us "beggers" or "road-roamers", or any thing of that sourt. It is also possible that they might do this basically to anoy us, (I might lose my patience if it happens with me), in that case we can try applying the solutions given by Subramanya sir. I whole-heartedly appreciate the love for your language you seem to be having. Yes, they ought to accept people "as they are". But let's not give up our hope, for we are still unite, still alive. ----- Original Message ----- From: "mahendra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Sent: Tuesday, October 16, 2007 7:23 AM Subject: Re: [AI] an interesting but shokking observation about Benglore
