Any sensible person with an understanding of the culture of India will condemn the host and her sarcasm implied even in sounding the word "Tribes".A classic example of how unfit an individual can be in a role which is expected to pass information in its most genuinity to the masses through visual media. The producer and Editor(dont know if such shows really has an editing done in its contents) proved to be senseless and should be criticised to the same extent. However also would like to add a personal comment to Mr.Anil's usage of "Malayalee NAIR lady" . It is not a matter of being a Nair or Dalit who host the show.It is all about a person's sheer lack of liminal acumen or common sense in other words!!
