Excerpt:

A visit to Thailand takes the Indian aback because the civilisation is so 
advanced. We're used to landing in cities and discovering that they are more 
modern than ours, and have superior infrastructure. Indeed, it's not easy for 
the Indian to name a nation whose cities are in as much disarray as his. This 
difference is fine when we go to Europe or America, because we see white people 
in a different way, and expect them to be better than us. But a coloured race 
showing its superiority is troubling. And the slap in Thailand comes not from 
infrastructure or modern cities, but from culture.
