i echo 'hitboxx' views. indians are a lot more hostile to tourists than they are to us. indians ogle without hesitation. indians try to cheat tourists at every turn. be it autowallah's or hotel owners or anybody who has the chance to... will do it. so in that sense, they are better. they are certainly more tolerant towards them than we are to them... thats why you see a bobby jindal becoming governor of an american state. does that happen in india?? you dont see a white man being made a leader or given a high post. and they wouldnt want to either.. coz there is too much red tape here.
You see each and every country has it's own share of problems. America is a developed country vastly developed by people from different countries and different races and you can't compare it with a developing country like India. Cheating tourists? I think you are trying to say that Autowallahs charging the tourists more? Yes, they do for their food. What's wrong it? Not only foreign tourists, but also local tourists face this situation. Tourists (Mostly rich will have the time to tour) will be normally in better economic position and can afford to spend a lot. This does not happen oonly in India, but in many developing countries. Whining won't solve the problem. Let's be optimistic of our future. Nothing changes by talking. You are a part of growing India and be happy that you are having a luxury that your forefathers didn't have.
And regarding hostility, can you please cite an example that happens in India, but does not happen in other countries? Huh, Indian politics is very different and doesn't suit Americans/foreign nationals just because they can't deal with the variety of people in India and it's not an easy thing to guide 100+ crores of people from different states, religion, linguistic zones, and etc. Don't tell me about Sonia Gandhi. She doesn't even know how to handle the gully politicians. Can you please tell me name of some American that is trying to participate in Indian elections. No, there are almost none. Then how can you expect an American or foreign national to be elected in India. FYI, in India even if muslims are one of the minorities, muslim people have been selected for the post of Indian president three times. And India is much better in dealing with other countries than America. Indian politicians are dangerous only to India, but American politicians are dangerous to the world. Truth prevails
I don't know whether you are a kid or grown up, but it seems your words are just out of frustration. I have nothing personally against you and I'm not trying to say that Indians are better than foreigners. America has it's own greatness in some aspects. India has it's own greatness in her vast historic wealth. There is nothing 100% perfect in this world. And one more thing you can never see this much variety of people in any other country except in India.
How can you forget those rape of those foreigners on new year's eve here?
How can I/We forget a sikh that's killed in USA just because he was thought to be an asian muslim? Which shows there are some that don't like muslims from Asia
How can I/We forget the treatment of Shilpa Shetty in Big Brother event by her colleagues?
How can I/We forget the portraying of sardars as idiots by the british? Sadly that continues even now in India because of lack of awareness
I can show you many more examples deep down from the history. Historically there are far more examples to call a white a racist than a black/brown
Be rational. These things are unpredictable and will always happen in all countries.
sorry dude but u sound like the same
Hmm, one line answer without much effort/explanation
