Recently a TV show named Big Brother saw an Indian (Shilpa Shetty) winning it. Before that there was a lot of controversary regarding bullying and racist discrimination towards Shilpa Shetty. Winning the show, needs votes from the British people. So do u think, Shilpa Shetty's win is a reflection of British people's attitude?

i am an indian and work with americans for more than 3 years, the difference i saw in the way we live and other europeans or Americans live is huge,,,
indians are more often regarded as soft spoken individuals as compared to that UKiets and americans are a bit direct, here's were the confusion starts, In india when there is a fight between 2 girls they stop talking to each other or start avoiding each other uptill the last moment, they wont express their discontent, they might back bite but never upfront, in addition the language used here will be far more sober than used in other part of the world ...
Cultural difference is huge - Indians will always try to be as good they can be, even if they might not be so good as in reality - where as in big brother what happened is Jade goody tried to be what she actually was, instead of being good or so, and shilpa thought her behavior will be reciprocated{appreciated} after she prepared some indian cuisine for them to eat

At the risk of making myself very unpopular here, I think it was all a farce! A clash of personalities was turned in to something it clearly wasnt. I'm not convinced that the votes weren't fixed for Shilpa to win in a bid for channel 4 to remove some of the pressure of them in this inquiry. So in answer to your question I dont think that the British attitude can be reflected in these sorts of programmes. Shilpa may have been there representing her country but in my opinion one show and one person do not represent a whole country.
