arent indians the biggest racist???

Disclaimer: all views expressed here reflect my personal experiences. i do not want to target any particular community here.

i know its shocking.....

but let me assured you that i am an Indian and i am proud of the fact but still i am against responding to Shilpa Shetty as an Indian just because she was racially abused by some Brits.

are we Indians living in India not Racist??? you ask a man living in india about who he is and a prompt answer would be i am south indian or north indian or maharastrian, gujarathi, kerlaite kashmiri. very hardly will people say that i am an Indian.

is it not racism???

few Bihari students waiting on Dadar Station(mumbai) for their Railway Board Exams were beaten up badly and crammed in trains and sent back to Bihar without allowing them to appear for exams...why? because they were Bihari..if they had appeared for exams, naturally local candidates wouldnt have got chance. this was the excuse given by the so called 'goody' people in mumbai who not only did the hideous crime but also managed to garner votes in next BMC polls, heighlighting their deed in the best interest of 'local' candidates.

today when we see Bihari Babus on the streets of mumbai or in local trains, we all 'original' mumbaikars wrench our nose whispering slightly in co-passenger's ear how these 'low standard' people are affecting Mumbai's growth and making it as dirty as Bihar is. at that time dont we neglect their contribution in Mumbai's success even if they have 1% of share in it. we chose to ignore it cause we feel its our land and 'others' should have limited access to it.

even today when fights errupts in trains over 'fourth seat' dont we blame the 'others' for increasing problems in mumbai..be it slums or population or degrading life styles? dont we sincerely shake our heads in negation when we see a tattered clothed 'other' man accompanying his wife and a whole train of children behind? dont we tell them to go back to Bihar or whatever place they have come from? dont we blame our governemnt for providing them shelter and other necessities?

even if i am a maharashtrian,I have dark complexion and curley hair--something popularly known as south indian traits.wherever i might go the first question hurled at me is "are you south indian?" isnt that called racism??? when i answer them 'i am indian' they stare me as if i am grade one fool.

more than 60% of engineering and medical colleges in mumbai has minority based admission procedures.when an able maharashtrian candidate is refused an engineering seat cause it was reserved for 'gujrathi' student, is that not racism???

arent there some hospitals where even rich people from a particular state would be given privileges over poor Locals?

we call it community service but isnt that racism under veil???

even today when two gujrathis or two south-indian people meet each other they would start conversing in gujrathi or telgu/malyayi languages respectively.who cares about what our national language is. you arrive on Bangalore Airport and rickshawwalhas their would refuse point black to talk to you in any other language than their's.

if we indians, though living in the same country, being governed by the same administrative force, sharing same resources for individual prosperity cant let go off our racism or communism if i can say so, why should we expect Brits to accept us as part of their society where every UK bound indian family tries to bestow same 'indian' values and beliefs upon their children who are left confused over whether they are Indians or Brits. where every NRI family follow and protect traditions that have vanished from India ages ago. wont our NRI parents die of cardiac arrest or bout of shame if an indian girl choses a Brit partner???

i am NOT supporting Racism or Communism but Indians arent the right people to create a ho-ha over Racism. We should see whats burning under our feet first and then blame others.

All place we can see diff type racism....In india we have mixed cultures,1000s of languages,100s religions,cast,writing styles but all say we are indians, when u live in india sometime ppl say am a south indian or bangli or smthing like that.

few Bihari students waiting on Dadar Station(mumbai) for their Railway Board Exams were beaten up badly and crammed in trains and sent back to Bihar without allowing them to appear for exams...why? Its some people's activities only 99% against it these type things.

because they were Bihari..if they had appeared for exams, naturally local candidates wouldnt have got chance. this was the excuse given by the so called 'goody' people in mumbai who not only did the hedious crime but also managed to garner votes in next BMC polls, heighlighting their deed in the best interest of 'local' candidates.

No i dont think so.......if they ask are u south indian wats wrong in it. 😳

when i answer them 'i am indian' they stare me as if i am grade one fool.

eg:When you studying xyz school 10th class, same skool 5th grade stud ask you 'which class u strudying' when you reply 'am a xyz skool stud' is it right answer???

more than 60% of engineering and medical colleges in mumbai has minority based admission procedures.when an able maharashtrian candidate is refused an engineering seat cause it was reserved for 'gujrathi' student, is that not racism???

All have rights to study......i dont think a spl preferce for gujj ,its other state student reservations.

arent there some hospitals where even rich people from a particular state would be given privileges over poor Locals?

Govt. hospitals dont have the differce all are same.......Did any rich guy go to Govt hospital.......no😊

we call it community service but isnt that racism in veil???

A type of racism is there.........

even today when two gujrathis or two south-indian people meet each other they would start conversing in gujrathi or telgu/malyayi languages respectively.who cares about what our national language is. you arrive on Bangalore Airport and rickshawwalhas their would refuse point black to talk to you in any other language than theirs.

Dont think NRI only keeping the indian traditions.......why girls parents fear?there is lot of reasons. i think so😊

i am NOT supporting Racism or Communism but Indians arent the right people to create a ho-ha over Racism. We should see whats burning under our feet first and then blame others.

All Indian have rights to create ho-ha over racism.....for a nation issue all feel the same, inside india have lot of differnet opinion n views, but a pure indian should react on racism....

believe,
similarly, i do not see all brits and Americans abusing indians or other blacks.its those 1% which matters too..cause 1% of few billions makes a huge proportion)

(Dont think NRI only keeping the indian traditions.......why girls parents fear?there is lot of reasons. i think so)

ofcourse there are other reasons.and i didnt say that NRI ONLY keep tradition. i meant they are much more indian than people who actually live in india. they try to protect their identity as an indian.

No i dont think so.......if they ask are u south indian wats wrong in it.

there is nothing wrong with it. but why to categorise people on their states.south indians mking fun of gujrati. gujratis making fun of maharashtrians..this is what i am miffed with.

ok agree with your some points.....😊

then about categorise people state wise its natural in india ....i dont think they making fun each other openly, i saw sardar joke all over the world...but i think most of them take it as a joke only.
