Why do Indian Natives (Desis) discriminate against East/West Indians (ie. Trinidadian, Guyanese in particular)

Question

I was just wondering why it is that when Desis realize that a fellow indian is actually from Trinidad or Guyana they express a look of disgust? Anyone from a Desi family in which they hear why their parents may or may not like Trinidadian or Guyanese Indians? Do they think they are really/ truly Indian, being that they practice the same religion (Hinduism). From my personal experience, after a desi individual speaks to me in Hindi and realizes that I am not from India they are revolted. Why is this? Does the younger generation think the same way?

Anyone of Trini or Guyanese ethnicity have this experience?

Answer 1

indians from asia don't like indians from trinidad, guyana, fiji or any other country where indians were sent by the british. desis hate them because they left india. but don't relise that they left india aswell. its confusing i kno

Answer 2

I don't understand why indians discriminate each other, like the northerns look down on the southerns just because the latter is darker and less educated? Oh, c'mon...
One arrogant northern I know bragged to me when we saw one southern and he said that guy is not a true indian, that he just came from one village blah, blah, blah. I was thinking, so what? You & him smell the same! What's so special about being an indian anyway? Why is there such true & fake? I dislike these arrogant people looking down on their own race, just because the other's caste is lower?
Whatever..

PS: For not answering your question is because I don't know much about it but the high ego of most. I heard about the Desis being like that and it's so retarded of them.

India for many years had a "Caste" system--psychological and class layers in their society. Fact is, that 90% of Indians from India are mixtures of earlier African Hebrews. I just lifted a segment from The Golden Fleece Found by Basil Hill.
"Most of the so-called 'Lost Tribes of Israel' reside in countries that encircle the Euphrates. Inhabitants of Kashmir, India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, are remnants of the 10 northern tribes. Confirmation can be found in Esther 2:6, and Esther 1:1.

A Scottish missionary named Reverend Wilson—and others before him—encountered an isolated Jewish community along the coast of Mahrashtra (in India) approximately 25 miles south of Bombay called Bene Israel or Children of Israel. Kohanim is the Hebrew name for a member of the Aaronic priestly clan. The capital of Nagaland in E. India is Kohima and the coastal town where the seed of that Hebrew remnant were discovered is called Konhan. Those links I found particularly interesting since Indians, people of the Caribbean and Africans were shipped to North and South America as bondservants on identical sugar plantations. God promised to ignore their cries from the cane fields (Jeremiah 6:20) until they stopped visiting 'temples'- Jeremiah 7:4 and abandoned false religions, Jeremiah 7:8.

I will not list the reasons for such hate on this forum. I just want to take this opportunity to say that I forgive those for what they did to my baby boy. He will achieve the peace that I pray millions of them will receive. Are your from Chaguanas?
Boaz.

Answer 5

All brown people are the same. The reason there's no peace in the middle-east is because we can't stick together. Ego-centrics at their best.
