He sounded fine introducing about India. He probably researched things that he was told (by family or school).

Yes... that is India he spoke about.

The Bengalis, the Assamese, the Gujaratis, the Kashmiris, the Oriyas, the Goanese can crib too...but including all will be a 2 hour speech.

When we watch someone talking about India, we tend to sieve information related to 'my region', 'my language', 'my food'  ....and that is normal.

But that doesn't discount his fine introduction about India and himself as Indian.

By reiterating that they are proud to be an indian and for finding reasons to be proud of it only confirms how self-conscious they are about being an indian and how desperate they are in trying to pull themselves up from their low esteemed levels for being an indian.

Gasp! Kinny, how could *you* say such things?? Bad bad Kinny.

Admit right now that you have been sharing your log-in ID with Al Akbari and that this heresy was actually him talking, else your membership of the NRI Patriots Association will be cancelled with immediate effect. Next time NaMo comes visiting, *NO* free passes for you. You'll have to sit at home and watch classy NRI Patriots heckling sickular buffoons!
