Is it too much to ask that Indians stop dividing themselves into sub-groups and start thinking like INDIANS? > I find it amusing that some Goans and Indians can complain of being discriminated against in India and elsewhere when it suits them, but conveniently ignore the fact that it was INDIANS who taught the world to divide people from each other, discriminate against each other in the most callous and merciless manner, and wrote the manual on how to discriminate, 5,000 odd years ago. >
