I replied to a post which talked about if it is fair to globalize II3. I dont think it is globalization. Chang is as much Indian as any of us. And if Sanjaya can take part in American Idol just staying in US for 2 generations (his dad was born in India and not in US) whats the problem with Chang being a part of II 3 ? I think its not fair to say he is not Indian. his fore fore fathers had come to India. I think he said he is 5th generation Chinese. And being born in India he is very much Indian and not Chinese. If someone born in Italy can compete for the prime ministership ( Pls pls pls not to start anyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy political argument .. this is just an example.. We belong to a peace loving country and we accept everyone) Here is a person who may be looks a little different but apart from that I think he is an Indian.

I hope this does not start a huge argument in this forum. I am just trying to say that we should appreciate the efforts a person is taking and accept him as a part of us. His Hindi is amazing, he sings so well and he has the same dream like others in the competition. Here is a link about Chinese immigrats in India.

Once again .. this is just my thoughts .. moderators, please block this topic if this starts an argument. This is just to share some information as I am from Kolkata and have many Chinese desendent friends who love this country as much as we do.

All of us agree that Chang is an Indian. I have a Chinese friend who is based in Kolkatta and now she is 4th generation. I wish Anu Malik doesn't ask any absurd questions and audience too vote him for his songs.

👏 👏 👏 well said maya, it irritates me when people go into such small issues, he is a third generation indian, if someone cannot understand third generation indian, then too sad. i hope that he is appreciated for talent. anu malik just asked a universal question which any common man will ask and commented that music is universal but i hope his place of origin is kept out of this again and again, i hope people vote for his singing. he is indian. and hope that he is known for his talent. period.

He is an Indian...and Anu Mallik should be deported to some god forsaken place in rural China for his ignorant remarks!!!

But all said and done if regional voted start playing up...he will definitely be at a disadvantage...because most people will think teh way Anu mallik does!
