I dont like anything about them just because they're indian. I like them because they are people. When you start asking people why they like a certain culture you're setting the stage for bias. Someone may have had a problem an the person involved may have been indian. Maybe they are still upset about that. You're asking people to make a stereotypical comment. I think we should welcome a person because he or she is a person. Then invite people to share in your culture and vice versa. Learn from each other. But first person to person. Then culture to culture with respect. Happy MyLotting dl

Hi,
I completely agree with you. First we shouldn't in this way ask about others opinions about us. This only proves lack of self esteem. Secondly, I don't think we should overemphasize our nationality in in this way. Let us do our work as duties and the rest will be faired automatically. First of all we must identify ourselves as good human beings. Then we are Indians, and then we represent a culture. Nothing must overshadow humanity. Thanks.
God bless you

Ah... India. Well, I'am proud to be Indian and I'am proud of my country too. But what I don't like is the brain drain which are done by other country is taking our talent. My teacher always says that Indians have the best brain out there. There is much more things which I have to say about being Indian but I think it would be beyind the capacity of this post. lol

I haven't been to India, so I can't say much about it, but I have met some very nice people who are from there.

Well, I'm neither an Indian person nor have I ever been to India, but there are a few things that I have come to really appreciate about India. The main thing that I appreciate about the customs of India is that they are so rich. I like the fact that most of the people from India share in the same kinds of tradition. That is something that is severely lacking here in the United States. Another thing that I like about India is Indian food, I've had the opportunity to try it a few times and it really is good.

We must be aware of the famous quote "Unity in diversity".India is country where you could find unity in diversity in everything-from nature to people living here.You'll find Himalayan range on the northern Indian border and the rest part are all coastal area.India is surrounded by the oceans-arabian sea and bay of bengal.It's a desert too called Thar in Rajasthan.You'll have more than 24 different language speaking community in India and they live togather like a family.Whenever people try to ignite fire in our country we all stand side by side to fend it.We've ample patience to survive in time of great difficulty as we grow up in a most difficult and critical enviorment comapred to other competing countries.That's why India is always great-not in terms of power and money,but in terms of showing humanity and love for people.
Thanks
God bless you
