"Whats happening to this country???
Since you are in Mumbai, I assume you are talking about India. India has had a great deal of success but the failures of the past continues to haunt the country. When visiting India, Bill Clinton praised India's success in the IT field, and he reminded people that many people there still don't access to basic essentials like water. Progressive country start with progressive minds. There are not enough of them in India. Do you know anything about governments at district levels in India?? They are simply horrible. Ask your friends in America to compare them with County governments in America.
"Americans keep shouting unfair when indian techies keep replacing their jobs.. Why isnt it that the govt of india take a stance against this kind of racism.."
Americans are shouting because after spending $30k-$40k to get their CS degrees, they are facing unfair competition from foreigners. I am all for H1B program if it was implemented as originally planned/intended. But we all know the program has been abused at the expense of the natives.
As for Indian govt. standing up against racism, you have got to be kidding. They can't even take care of Indians living in India, let alone NRIs.
Smriti. Who do u think elects these political parties? Us! Who do u think gives them so much power? Us! Who do u think they represent ? Us!!! They are a true representation of the people of India. It is the same uncaring attitude that we show that is being reflected in them.. It is we who do not care what these parties do... Things dont change in a day. We are talking of changing things which have remained as they are for decades!!! Do u think they are gonna change so easily.
We need to create more awarness, we need to spread the word. If we who do understand give up, how in the world do u imagine the average person to continue. This is our country. If we want things to change, we have to change first. We still fight for castes n categories n quotas!!! Does education need quotas..? Does govt jobs need quotas? No they dont.
But they still exist. If the govt wishes to give the minority a concession, then they should not spoon feed them.They shd help them study, pay for their fees, but reserving seats for them is absolutely rubbish. They shd show that they are truly worthy of the seat that they get.
This is just a small example. Our soceity needs to change. N nobody or no political party can do it unless we ourselves do something abt it.
U need not be aggresive, but every miniscule step that u take, counts in the big picture. That my friend is the idea!!!

I applaud your feelings. Indians make up 1/6th of humanity. Do you expect them to suddenly forget all emotions and become nice and friendly to each other. Has there been any other time in human history where people lived like that?
