wow I am so glad we (America) got that out of the way over three hundred years ago. Hopefully India will get through it and into the 1900s.

Funny what you can find when you look at the person throwing stones at you. 
Maybe that kind of mentality is behind the obvious inability someone has to understand American culture.

Something about glass houses comes to mind. I just think it's easy to criticize other cultures without looking at your own. Here in America I think we work very hard to discuss and teach about the atrocities of our past to avoid allowing history to repeat itself. Others would much rather bury the atrocities in an attempt to play the "holier than thou" card.

Why would the Indian government want to stick to such a repugnant culture in the 21st Century? Something has got to be done and this should be done fast!
