o.k. guys its very important for me to know "what do u feel abou INDIA?" its good or bad points.?

Question

i m a true INDIAN & live in MUMBAI & its important for me to know what the people all over the world feel about my country.........

Answer 1

From what I understand there are not too many countries that are more environmentally damaged and disgustingly polluted than India. Just look at your holiest rivers. On the plus side India has the number one slot for the fastest growing aids rate. Congratulations.

Answer 2

In good OR bad points? I think there are many points in between that aren't necessarily good or bad.

What positive things do I see regarding India?
1. would love to visit all the major cities; artwork is exotic.
2. absolutely LOVE kurti! Have a bunch of them.
3 also crazy about jamawar shawls. I'm amazed at the intricate details of the designs.
4 The Indians I've known have been extremely hard working, very spiritual, and very accepting and tolerant of the differences between people.
5 I always feel more comfortable around an Indian doctor because they all seem so serene. Can't say the same thing about their American counterparts.

Negatives?
1 Not having been there, I can only go by the news I hear regarding child labor. I hope there is less of it going on now.
2. Sometimes I think the serenity I see works against Indians in that they seem to be willing to sell products which have obviously taken an extended period of time to produce for very little. A few cents for an item that will sell in the US for $200 is hardly fair.
3. I'm concerned that the nuclear race between India and Pakistan will end up in an accidental firing which would have an impact on the rest of the world.
4. Finally, I love the food, but it's WAY TOO HOT for me. Chicken masala is great as long as the chillies have been left out! LOL!

Namaste, from an American with a Hungarian, German,and Dutch heritage.

Answer 3

i'm a young, american-born indian girl, who was (until recently) very oblivious to all the prejudices here in the U.S.. It's kinda funny how uneducated some white and black americans can be about other races. Most of these prejudices stem from the media and what we hear from others. Coming from a more diverse Chicago to a fairly white Missouri, I have started noticing things I never did b4. At the hospital where I work, I noticed a memo floating around during lunchtime that gave me an uneasy feeling.. it was a cartoon of an Indian family sitting in a car and the caption said, "tinted windows in India." get it?? their skin was portrayed as really really dark in the cartoon, so the windows were tinted...HAHAHA! yeah, NO.. didnt work for me. I'm young and love all kinds of comedy, especially Family Guy, Scrubs, Simpsons, Friends, etc.. but this wasn't something "funny" to me. A color of skin was being made fun of.. my parents raised me color-blind, so thinking that a certain color is more beautiful than another doesn't exist in my mind. Another thing that I find weird here in "missoura" is that a lot of caucasian peeps always think that curry powder = indian food. Indian people don't use curry powder.. curry powder is a mix of spices (cumin, black pepper, cinnamon, etc.) that the British concocted after being in India for many centuries. It is a distinctly European spice mix.. No Indian family will have curry powder in their cupboard.. CURRY IN HINDI (the language of India) MEANS "SAUCE.".. literally it translates to sauce.. so chicken curry is really chicken in a rich spicy sauce. But we DO have an herb called the "curry leaf" which looks like a small bay leaf (for all you cooks out there). The curry (or "kari") leaf just adds to the confusion. So last week I brought to work some food I made at home, and my co-worker was like, "i'll have it as long as it doesnt have any of that curry stuff you people use in it.." So i was like, yes it has curry in it because its a SAUCE!!! LOL why is this so difficult?! honestly.. its not hard..haha

Answer 4

Okay, but you have to accept what other people might think about your country... India is still a poor country with almost half of his population have to work very hard for food. And India still number one in corruption problems.
But the good news is India has the most talented computer programmer that can build programs more cheaper than other country. And his movie industry has grown larger and become known in the international community.

Answer 5

It's a place where'd I'd love to travel to, because of it's history and culture. It's completely different to my country El Salvador.

The people I've met from India have been kind people and I have nothing but the greatest respect for them.

The food, religion, customs, movies, music, architecture... are all things I would like to know more. Hopefully I'll be able to go someday.

I guess the only thing that I find troublesome is the over population, since it does have it's strain on the way of life, environment and economy. But, in a way that's understandable, your culture is one of the oldest in the world.

Answer 6

The politicians have destroyed India.
There is shortage of infrastructure. Civic amenities are degrading day by day.
Corruption is rampant and has spread in every spear of public life.
Society is divided on caste and religious basis.
People are getting the opportunity to work at call centres and BPOs yet the govt. wants that less and less people should speak English.
There is development but its lopsided.

Answer 7

Maybe it has something to do with the love hate relationship people have with taxi drivers and store clerks over here. Depends on the year with most. Some got privy and figured out that alot of those clerks are really pakistani, and afghan. The story continues.

Answer 8

We like Indians.

Answer 9

I don't hear very much about India, so I don't think much about it.

Answer 10

The FANTASTIC INDIA....
