It was most interesting to read the numerous commentaries to Sarita's article vis a vis Naipaul's India. The one from dri was silly and personal. I know many Indian Americans who get all worked up even if legitimate criticism is made of that society. Understanding one's drawbacks ...
Why don't you do something, in stead of leaving it to movie stars? After all, many of you are the ones who watch copious amount of Bollywood movies and cricket! In stead of complaining about a country you neither belong to, nor really care about, except to escape (with ...

My Thai, except for a few phrases, is pretty poor. I grew up there...long time ago. My ...
Leisure travel in India seems to be linked to religious pilgrimages. A good hike in the Himalyan foothills to get to Mata Vaisho Devi or Kailash. Locally, in Delhi, the newest tourist destination is the Akshardham Temple (www.akshardham.com). We spent the day there without a single religious ritual ...
Deepa, how does the author's description of "her heritage and her cultural attire or clothes" go against your "child labor issues"? You are making a funny connection! You need to improve your thinking before you shoot your email response.
There are many Indian sarees that are not made by ...
More power to Sharu Khan! I like him, find him attractive and he is a true modern Indian...who has crossed ethnic, cultural, religious and class lines. His wife is amazing too!
Does one have to be a Bengali, Sandeep, to love Bengal and be its ambassador? :))
My father graduated ...
