i am singaporean\n\ni think India has very rich and interesting cultures that goes back thousands of years...indian food is really good (i love southern indian food)\nand i think that there is a lot of talented and smart people in India.  I also think that there is a lot of poverty in India and that there is a big socio-economic gap between rich and poor..i also think that there are religious problems between Sikhs, Muslims and Hindus and hopefully these problems might lessen in time... I have never been to india so this is what i know through reading or watching the TV..i really hope to travel there some day..\ncheers

INDIA IS BEST COUNTRY OF THE WORLD THOUGH IT HAS LOTS OF CASTES AND RELIGIONS.  BUT WE RESPECT ALL OF THEM.  THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT CAST ISM IS NOT GOOD FOR THE COUNTRY BUT THERE IS NO OUR FAULT IT IS FROM GENERATIONS TO GENERATIONS.  PEOPLE LIVING OTHERS COUNTRY SHOULD NOT FORGET THE LAND OF BIRTH DO NOT CLOSE YOUR EYES WITH SHINING OF MONEY. COME AND MAKE INDIA A RICH AND DISCIPLINED COUNTRY.  I AM PROUD TO BE INDIAN I HATE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT GOOD OPINION ABOUT OUR COUNTRY.  WE CAN GIVE THE LIFE AND CAN TAKE THE LIFE FOR THE PRIDE OF OUR NATION.  THOUGH WE ARE FROM POOR COUNTRY BUT WE HAVE THE RESPECT AND DIGNITY.

Love it. Love the people most of all: their joy for living, their smiles, their passion, their intelligence, their sense of pride. Indians know who they are. I love the easy-going atmosphere of India. There is time in India, time to chat to friends, to have tea together, to take part in religious festivals, to prepare food for the entire family. People are more in tune with the nature and themselves. Material things matter less in India. You can get into a deep philosophical discussion with almost anyone. \nIs India in danger? I hope not. If there was a danger, then it could be the danger of wanting to emulate the Western lifestyle. But I'm sure the Indians are wiser than that. There are already so many things that function better in India than in other countries: for example, the stable prices of medicinal products and books. I'm sure it will be possible for India to avoid the pitfalls of the West and at the same time, make use of its positive experience. \nWe must not forget that Bharat is the cradle of civilization -- and not the West !!!

It's not unfair that people in India see you wasting your money.  It's unfair that we haven't gotten our global act together sooner and provided more opportunities for people all over the world to make a living for their families.\nI like your attitude about it all though- most people complain that their jobs are being outsourced to India.  You're the first person I've ever heard of who looked at it from the Indian's perspective.

Seriously, what is your problem with India and Indians? All your questions are deriding and insulting to Indians. Please remember this is a public forum.

I too am an Indian - and I find that, to most non-Indians, India is still 'the land of opulent maharajas and naked fakirs', or 'the land of the Kamasutra', and nothing more !\n...Sad to say, most 'foreigners' are abs ignorant about all the technological progress, and scientific breakthroughs that our fellow-Indians have quietly accomplished ! \nThey mostly think of us, as 'pagans' living in the dark ages, forgetting that Indians were a civilised and educated urban race, when all of Europe was but a scattering of hamlets populated by illiterate serfs or minions - who were willingly serving anyone who was physically strong enough to take control ! \nNone among them is ever bothered to read-up India's past history - and learn of how our Emporers employed Greek mercenaries, and our sea-faring merchants made fortunes through international trade !  \nAnd that is why they come searching for all the wrong things in India, and wind-up being disillusioned !

We are good people, but as we all know where good exists, bad too does. MOSTLY (not all) the India people we meet here, on Answers and Chat are the wrong kind of people who will piss us off with dirty talk and stuff like that. I can't frankly seem to understand why do they have to act like such morons. Don't they have any self respect?\n\nWe have a glorious history, and as a result there's a lot of old style thinking here. That dowry kind of stuff. Its almost abolished now, but still some cases are seen. We are a developing country, will take some time to become all modern.\n\nAnd I completely disagree with the people who say that we stink. That's totally mean. If the person they met did, its okay. But that dosen't mean everybody's like that.\n\nAnd if any of you think that we are fat, lousy, stinky people with nothing to do, hear this fact...Indians comprise about 16% of NASA's employees. India is the biggest sofware engineer exporter to America.\n\nWe must learn to respect every culture, race etc.\n\n...EDIT...\n\nShut up ahmed. We know what a deodrant is. And those 16%, I read them in a book long before. And they are not janitors or clerks. They are engineers. Kalpana Chawla was a great person and an astronaut. She was born in Haryana and was educated there itself. She even learnt flying in her hometown's Airclub...Karnal. She LATER joined NASA. Check your knowlege first before saying something.

well i am an Indian.. n boy m realy proud of it .. \nThe culture of India is one of the oldest cultures in the world. In modern India, there is remarkable cultural diversity throughout the country. The South, North, and east have their own distinct cultures and almost every state has carved out its own cultural niche.\nWe hav our own style of art which is so very deviant, our dances , languages , rituals , music , everythin is so detailed n expertised that world cant even dream of comin close to it. Indian culture is spreadin globally .. the world has started recognisin its true value n its startin to get the respect it deserves.. \nPunjabi songs, south indian dances ,spices , desi foods, our festivals, faces .. they are all so unique n admirable .. but the fact is.. WE R LOSIN IT. The people of India themselves are gettin driven towards western culture.. many cant even speak hindi.. i mean its ok to advance but to forget one's identity doesnt make any sense.. If we forget our culture n just become copy cats of the western world .. then will anyone value us ? think bout it.\n\nI live in the U.S.A n really miss my country.. i guess apeksha u r really lucky

Bet on India?  For what?  Are they in a contest?  \n\nBy the way, who are "u pple"?\n\nYou're not only rude, but you make no sense in this question.  Go learn some manners and some English, then ask again.

Thats a very complex question. The answer is very simple. Yes. India is not great just because:\n1. It produces enough food for its billion strong polulation and exports it too.\n2. Is one of the fastest growing economy.\n3. Is full of colours and cultures.\n4. is home to about 1600 languages and dialects.\n5. It can send its own satellites.\n6. It has largest number of graduates in the world.\n7. Is the only country in the world where Jews were never percecuted.\n8. Is the country of Buddha, Mahavira, Ram, Krishna, Gandhi.\netc.\n\nIndia is great because it always lived in different centuries: You find bullock carts alongside a Ferrari while a Supersonic jet flies over.\n\nIndia is great because its still "Atithi devo bhava" (Guest is like God).\n\nIndia is great because Indians dream in steps..one small dream at a time.\n\nIndia is great because Indians are peaceful to a fault.\n\nFinally,\n\nIndia is great because inspite of all misery..Indians flash a warm smile when someone asks " Is India a great country?"
