O' Rajen:
Bor dangor-dangor kotha koi dila dei :-).
Here are a few counter-points/clarifications:
** These are
NOT my friends. No reason they could not be. I have
friends
who are far more confused.
** I posted the
comments to illustrate that there are views out there,
among
real-INDIANS, that debunk the many self-righteous and/or ignorant
assertions made
by kharkhowa-Indians here in Assam Net.
> we Indians
** Speak for
yourself. *I* am NOT one of *you* Indians. My nationality
is American and
ethnicity is Assamese. I didn't realize you had
dual
citizenship.
** HOW do you
know the writer has not done anything to change things ?
And how does
anyone go about changing things if the only way they
are familiar
with is the way they grew up with? What did you do for
example, before
YOU left? And what would YOU do if you returned?
** The folks
who advised the writer are an NRI and an ex-NRI, who
has obviously
become disillusioned after returning, demonstrating
that little has
changed, unlike the many assertions of
kharkhowa-Indians.
>There are many Indians who like to blame
everything on Indians as if they themselves are above it
***
Heh-heh-heh! Those things sting, don't they? But hurling them
back at me does
not work. It is like attempting to hurt a bee with its
own
sting.
>You should ask them if they are looking for
brown pasture so that they can try to make these green
** Why me? If
you have problems with it, why don't you go ask?
>These Indians are always looking for
green pasture, turn green by somebody
>else,
so that they can make these brown.
** Oooh! What a
verdict! Is it another sudden discovery, an
eureka moment?
Can you show us some examples of how those who
left turned
green-pastures brown outside India? Or are you speaking
from your own
record, thereby cautioning the would-be expatriates?
>Your friends are typical
Indians.
** Tell me
something I don't know.
>They deserve to stay and rot in
India.
** Now let me
see where that deduction came from. They are my
friends. They
are typically Indians. Thus they deserve to STAY and
ROT in India?
------ I see!
>Let them rest in haven.
** That too?
You are being really rough on your fellow men, man!
What's the
matter? Got out on the wrong side of the bed this morning?

Looks like your friends, themselves Indians, donot know
what they are talking about. I have not seen anything in their
statement which they tried to do to improve and failed. If you
analyse, you will find that what they in fact are telling is that we
Indians (including the friends) are bad, corrupt, divided on
caste-religion, arrogant, unhygenic, and that Indians (including the
friends) do not abide by law and order, do politics in works, etc
etc. In light of above they are telling other Indians to stay away
from India. I hope they are also telling this to their
children.
There are many Indians who like to blame everything on Indians as if
they themselves are above it. That itself is an Indian
trait.
You
should ask them if they are looking for brown pasture so that they can try
to make these green, or if they are looking for green pasture so that being
Indians they want to make these brown with their Indian
characteristics.These Indians are always looking for green pasture, turn
green by somebody else, so that they can make these
brown.
Your friends are typical Indians. They deserve to stay and rot
in India.
Let
them rest in haven.
