Did you know that Infosys donated Rs 1 crore (10 Million rupees) or some such humongous figure as aid for the earthquake victims of Pakistan. Jamaat ud Dawa, a Pakistani Islamic charity - has used earthquake relief funds to fund terror training. Infosys was one of the companies that argued against military action after the Indian parliament was attacked in 2002.
Did you intend to imply that the events above were connected? If yes, citations? If not, why are you bunching them together?
If you look at silk-list archives - you will find that we have already had more exchanges trying to prove that no threat existed to airlines than the total number of messages posted about the Mumbai bomb blasts that killed 200 plus people last month. To me that is an indicator of the priorities and mindest of the average educated Indian.
It might also be an indicator of the relative amount of available data about each set of events. No?
If there is terror in India we don't notice. If terror is alleged in the West we end up blaming Bush and Blair. What is it with Indians?
I don't see anything particularly Indian about the above (or particularly true, for that matter), except, perhaps, the last bit of self-flagellation.
