Recently I was travelling in my car, driving back from Diu, U.T. back to gujarat, when my wife who is English, I am Indian, saw a white couple using bicycles to tour the Country, she was amazed and took a photo of the female rider.
This lady overtook us since we had to stop at a sign and shouted at my wife, " WHY ARE YOU TAKING MY PICTURE, AM I A MONKEY, TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE INDIANS WITH YOU"
Did she mean that Indians are Monkeys and that they should be photographed and that Whites are above all.
Can you imagine my feeling, Coming to my country and abusing me (Indians) in that manner, who invited her to come to India. Dont people like her know that India is a free Country now, not a part of the Raj anymore.
Over the Centuries, history will testify, that we Indians regard visitors highly, but have been repaid in such manner.
My quaestion is what should I have done under such circumstances, I am not a violent or an abusive man.
