Indians and Americans are the most in number on this forum and i mostly see conversations held between those two sets of people. But i just want to know whether this is true by any chance? Give me a solid point. Do US's think that Indians are not good in english,so they ignore? It's also true to an extend that indians' english is poorer than amreicans' because it's not their mother tongue(not their fault).Dont think I'm new to this forum,and talking tripe. reply seriously.

I'm neither American nor Indian. But I see the point of replying to a post which you think is relevant to you. By relevance, I do not mean that the post should be of quality contenct. I guess people would consider the country which the user came from. For example, when Indians talk about Bollywood, you wouldn't be expecting other nationalities to respond except if it's all about the Bollywood actresss Shila Shetty. So that's it, it depends on what is being posted. If the topic is regional, some nationalities will ignore it. If it's global, many would surely respond. This regional aspect, I believe, is not sole about racial discrimination. It has something to do with one's experience in one's own country.

I agree, being American and not having much knowledge of India i dont understand a number of the topics..like Orkut and bollywood.
If i know what is being talked about and have an honest opinion or knowledge on the subject, then i post a comment. i dont post on things i dont understand.
there have been a number of discussions from Indians that i dont post on just because i cant understand whats being said. if the comment isnt clear, i dont want to answer with something completly off topic and get a bad rating.
