Sethu, I like what you have written, very true about the comments by Jaya and you! But the point is after nearly 60 years of Independence nearly 40% of our population is still living below the poverty line! Isnt this figure alarming? Another committee appointed by the Govt. last year put the figure of poors in India at 77%!!!!!! Now, if the firang's have this view about India, i dont think they are to be blamed entirely!!!!! Wat do you have to say Sethu????????

Yeah very true Jaya, I agree with you on this. Actually the picture they have about India is poor India. And above all this the movie slumdog has given a bad image about India to them. So except for the firangis who had never visited India, image got struck onto their mind that is how India is. One question for the moderator of this group, we are not getting all the mails from the group, is the mails are getting filtered, or blocked at some level. --Sethu On Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 10:03 AM, Jaya Satish <[email protected]> wrote: >>This is an unfortunate/uneducated/ignorant question on part of FOREIGNERS who >>still think India has elephants, snakes on the roads & girls are forced into >>marriages...it may be true still in v.rural areas of India but hey we are the >>country of Infosys, Reliance, & other hi-tech modern facilities.... > >>i was & continue to be asked that q even now after 14 yrs in USA when talks >>come of our marriage etc... > >>i take this opportunity to EDUCATE the Firangis.
