To all hindu people?

Question

Dearest hindus,

Just to inform you that there is a Y! India. You can find the link at the bottom of the screen (where all the flags are).

There is no need to post question here that no one would understan or relate.

I really try to understand your unintelligible version of so-called english at no avail.

I have tried to be culturally sensitive and try to respond your question, but it's hard when here on the west civilization cannot relate the complexity of your social caste system.

People, we don't have here sorceres that rely on horoscopes and birthdays to make life changing decisions. Please, ask on Y! India where people can relate and understand your superstitions.

I'm not judgamental of your culture, but here in USA we do not condone in-breeding, child marriages, selling your daughters fotr marriage etc. so why asking here where people cannot relate??????

Then if you answer from a western point of view, then you feel "offended".

Go to the appropiate site

Hindu: People native of India.

That makes my case. You people DO NOT understand the English and the USA culture, so why bothering here?

Main Entry: 1Hin·du
Variant(s): also Hin·doo \ˈhin-(ˌ)dü\
Function: noun
Etymology: Persian inhabitant of India, from Hind India

To answer your question. I rest my case, You'll people do not understand/ speak english

Answer 1

Blunt,
I just love you!
You not only express what everyone thinks but you also crack me up.

Ugh- I have only 11 days left until the day!! Wish me luck!! LOL

Hey Oye up there- Hitler also did a lot of great things like the invention of the Volkswagen and pulled the US out of a depression as well as many other countries like Ireland. He also main stream many different ways of manufacturing. But with all that said- I still don't want a bunch of Nazi on here asking question. GET THE POINT. She is not saying Indians are bad or don't do anything for our country- we just are tired of their stupid questions about marriage, love and arrange marriages.

Answer 2

The culture part especially, Westerners do NOT understand....we do not have arranged marriages and things like that...we cannot relate.

We relate on a human level, but not a cultural one.

Good point, Blunt.

Of course some over zealous azzwipe will probably report your question.....I have learned to use a disposable ID now for answers that might be controversial because I keep getting reported...what about my rights to free speech? Not alive at Yahoo answers, thats for sure!

Answer 3

Well said. I can't tell you how many times I see someone asking "Is love marriage or arranged marriage better?"
Are you people ASKING for insults? Of course we're going to tell you the idea of an arranged marriage is ridiculous. Women aren't property and shouldn't be bought and sold.
When you allow your parents to force you to marry someone you don't love, what right do you have to come on here and ask us what you should do about it? WELL, you should have refused to marry them. Since you were too coward to stand up to your parents then, be an adult and be faithful to your spouse.
I have no sympathy for people who become upset about my responses because your culture allows you to treat women badly, and I can't agree with that.

Answer 4

a thank you to degree that somebody is accustomed to greater or much less? i might say that Hindu faith is so deep that any one who has dedicated his finished existence will nevertheless be left with a lot to appreciate..

Answer 5

Agreed, agreed!

I feel like I am on some crazy hallucinagen reading those Hindu questions.........

"Warning!! Warning!! I have no money love poor girl please help me ! I do not understand? What can I do?"

CRAZY CRAP like that! LOL!

By the way, "Blunt" is referring to Indians, and not the "whoo-whoo" kind.....

Answer 6

Thank you. I have tried to read what they ask, but I can't understand it.

Answer 7

trust you will be able to read this and comprehend its meaning : - While traveling and giving lectures in India last winter (December, 2002), a few questions that were presented to Stephen Knapp was how America seems to be so progressive, as if it is the Americans themselves and their lifestyle that should be followed. However, I pointed out that it is the inter-cultural contribution that makes the progress in America possible, including those made by Indians. The following includes a few of the points I made in answer to such questions.

1. Who is the co-founder of Sun Microsystems? Vinod Khosla. The Sun founder also had an Indian Professor in Computer Technologies at Louisiana State University.

2. Who is the creator of the Pentium chip (needs no introduction as 90% of the today's computers run on it)? Vinod Dham.

3. Who is the third richest man in the world? According to the latest report on Fortune Magazine, it is AZIM PREMJI, who is the CEO of Wipro Industries. The Sultan of Brunei is at 6th position now.

4. Who is the founder and creator of Hotmail (Hotmail is world's No.1 web based email program)? Sabeer Bhatia.

5. Who is the president of AT & T-Bell Labs (AT &T-Bell Labs is the creator of program languages such as C, C++, and Unix to name a few)? Arun Netravalli.

6. Who is the GM of Hewlett Packard? Rajiv Gupta.

7. Who is the new MTD (Microsoft Testing Director) of Windows 2000, responsible to iron out all initial problems? Sanjay Tejwrika.

8. Who are the Chief Executives of CitiBank, Mckensey & Stanchart? Victor Menezes, Rajat Gupta, and Rana Talwar. Indians are the wealthiest among all ethnic groups in America, even faring better than the Caucasians and natives.

There are 3.22 million Indians in USA (1.5% of population). 12% of the scientists in the USA are Indians. 38% of doctors in America are Indian. 36% of NASA scientists are Indians. 34% of Microsoft employees are Indians. 28% of IBM employees are Indians. 17% of INTEL scientists are Indians. 13% of XEROX employees are Indians.

9. Furthermore, the Consul General in New York, Mr. Pramathesh Rath has said that India (as of 2002) is the largest source of international students accounting for more than 11 percent or 67,000 of the over half-million studying in various universities in the U.S. In this case, Indian students for the first time outnumbered the hitherto largest source of international students, which was China.

For the period of 2002-03, Indian students remain number 1 in U.S. university enrollments, totaling 74,603, up from the previous year. This accounts for a good 13% of the 586,323 international students. This means the Indian student population in the U.S. has doubled in the last 7 years. The U.S. authorities also appreciate this since it brings in large sums of money for the U.S. economy. It also allows the Indian talent to contribute to the U.S., as well as brings home to India a work force with cutting edge skills.

10. Indian doctors, numbering more than 35,000, constitute over five percent of all physicians in America.

11. Indians constitute ten percent of all medical students in America.

12. Indians also own nearly 40% of all the small and mid-size hotels in the country.

13. Another point is that three-fourths of all graduates from the prestigious IIT university in India are in the U.S

**Between 1990 and 2000, the population of Indian scientists and engineers (S&E) in Silicon Valley grew by 646% (while the total foreign-born S&E workforce grew by 246% and the region's total population of S&E, both native and foreign-born, grew by only 103%). In short, the growth of Indian entrepreneurship reflected the influx of Indian scientists and engineers to the region.

**Silicon Valley's immigrant entrepreneurs led the nation in the 1990s by starting dynamic technology businesses that generate substantial wealth and employment in the US. Today they are contributing to the creation of new centers of technology and skill in their home countries. As these entrepreneurs collaborate with former classmates and colleagues in once peripheral economies like India and China, they are providing access to the markets and know-how that are critical to success in today's global economy.

While I appreciate the inability that you may feel in dealing with the issues arising out of cultural differences , I categorically disagree with your premise regarding monopolizing the American Yahoo site and rerouting them to India site , remember that there are many educated Indians here and also bear that skilled immigrants are one of America's greatest advantages. And my fellow Hindus dont feel shy or diffident .........this great American Land that honors ability is as much ours !!!. We are given a place here tks to our ability and not just by virtue of birth. So keep posting your queries here and your fellow American Indians who understand both cultures will respond sooner / later.

Lastly regarding India merely being a land of superstition , atleast a certain well known brain wouldnt agree with you :

We owe a lot to the Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made : - Albert Einstein.

BTW when was the last time you looked at some world statistics ? Check out the link :
