Oh dear! Okay, just in case I am cast as the Ultimate Indian Defender, among people who know me in real life I'm actually India's worst and most unforgiving critic. There is so much wrong with India that it would take many threads for me to explain it all. However, the reason I felt I had to jump into this thread because, even though I am India's worst critic and have plenty to say about the country and Indian society that would burn your ears (and maybe I'll do that some time, in the right circumstances), I also do know when Indians don't deserve criticism. =)
Edit: however, I will watch my tone as I realize condescension, even if unintended, is hurtful.
Perhaps you are capable of being critical of India and Indian society though that is hardly evident in your diatribes. Less condescension and a more balanced approach would go a long way to disarm your critics.
You actually do make valid points but it gets muffled in your attempts to justify both the defensible and the indefensible.
As far bigotry on this board, you should check out some of the comments left by Indian readers on Indian newspapers. The comments on this board pales in comparison with what you find in those publications.
