Whats your stand on AIB's Roast? - Page 17

Indians do not have holier than thou attitude. Problem is not criticism. Problem is generalising the whole country.

But yes NRIs and firangis think their country which they inhabit now is the greatest and has no problems and whatever that happens there is ideal and must happen in every other country as well. Our way of life should be followed by all in each part of the world and if it isn't then others are fools.

It's as bad as those Manoj Kumar films branding India as great and branding Western countries as land of uncouth people who don't care about family and are all promiscuous.

Generalisation and bashing is wrong.

Lol you are the one complaining now . if i remember correctly you were the one generalising and accusing india and indian media of having colonial mentality on another thread which ofcourse was shahrukh related and not to your taste😕

OT: I watched bits of it and didn't like it one bit . Just felt that they were using swearing and insulting words just for the sake of it and were too repetitive, wasn't funny at all . But yes there were many warnings before it started.

Guilty as charged.

But yes some Indians do have colonial mentality.

I have nothing against Shahrukh. Only commented on the overdose of importance given to foreigner's comments.

Why do India or Indians always get slammed for voicing their opinions against something they deemed inappropriate even if the objection is as tiny as an ant. Funny how rape, terrorism blah blah blah are thrown in to suppress the voice. Since when did minor objections have no validation amongst the major issues ? In that's the case, why bother focusing on minor crimes like pick pocketing where major crimes like murders should be the focus. Such logic is only used to suppress the opposite and their opinions we don't like.

And why India ? Hullabaloo over tiniest shit happens in every country including in the US. Should we go around suppressing their right by stating their focus should be on working against increasing crime rate and gun violence ? or How about suppressing the right to preach Islam when Pakistan's focus should be working towards their dooming economy and terrorism ? Such logic is beyond me anyways. Everyone should have the right to object whatever they deem it as objectionable.

And here I thought it was all about freedom of speech. So basically freedom of speech is only for the "Cool" beings not for illiterate narrow minded idiots. OK

I take the good things out of both cultures for myself... like my wife cooking and serving me nice Indian food... to having international brands of beers in weekend. 😉😆 From enjoying Diwali functions to going to striptease clubs.. 😆

If this were used to bash other countries there would be so much outrage. Just saying. If you can handle the same criticism you dish out to another country and their people, then you're cool, but there are very few who can handle it in return.
