I dont get this... when a guy says that he is a Bengali.. or Kashmiri... why do ppl say that they r not secular... Indian is a single nation.. the "we r all Indians" bull$h!t

If u believe that we r united... we r clearly missing the entire picture...... we r Indians... but rn't we part of Mother Earth... and Earth... part of the Solar System... part of the Universe... Multiverse... whatever?

Why classify as Indian.. and stay at it.

I never say I'm indian... why should i.... i'm human (ok... correction.. i'm kryptonian :D).... why classify ourselves at just the national level :mad:

How inferior thinkin r us.. ppl... :(

^^ dude people kill each other because they belong to a separate caste/religion/state. Even though they live in the same country. You are going too far beyond the rational possibility. Indians first need to realize and respect Indians first, then go to mother earth & universe :)

You should listen to HBO's show by George Carlin - Life is worth losing.

U r so right dude. I wud so want to call myself american, european or australian but my passport prevents me to do so. I hope ur pleas are heard by the UN and this concept of passports is completely abolished.

Caste has nothing to do with it. I said aggarwal to mean my family.
And secondly, don't start with all the "we're all human" bullshit- I wouldn't even piss on George bush if he were on fire.

That's a good quote.. :D

But still I find diversity in this unity itself. Why classification? Help all if u want.. not because he/she is of ur caste, color, creed, country or sex.
To hell with it.... I AM NOT GOING TO CALL MYSELF AN INDIAN. No national anthem... no national pride... bull$hit...

U in trouble.. I'll help as much as I can.. that's all. Plain & Simple.

So my question to all the Indians here?:D Why do you have headache regarding trivial matters of the IPL? Why should you care if Kolkata wins, or Mumbai wins or Punjab/Chennai wins?:D

Hey, u r right. For that matter, why shud we care if india wins or not? I don't give a damn if india are the 20-20 champions. In fact in my opinion we shud ban cricket altogether as it just creates a divide among all human beings.
