Do you mean Indian as in Native American or Indians from India? In either case there are wise people and stupid people everywhere, I don't think it really matters too much where you're from.

People are too closed minded and get blinded by all other alternatives but their own.  Religious, Political, or Ethnic background it doesn't matter.  No one else opinions matter.  If you don't see theirs you are the enemy.

Some people are overly intelligent, some are not.\nSome people seriously need an answer, then some people have a craving to see if they can get an other answer with a stupid question like yours.

The people need to change. \nThey choose the politicians. So they give them power to step in and rule the country.\nWhen wrong people given the wrong power step in therefore you get a corrupted nation all together.\nSeperating the politicians from the people isnt that right. These politicians came from among the people.\nAlthough indians are well known for their highly intellectual minds, i think most of them need high etiquette in dealing a lot of things which will eventually bring good leaders to India soon.

Because we are narrow-minded hypocrites.

i dont think u should generalize. but i think some people (not necessarily americans) are less informed about the world is because they are sheltered and are not open to other people's cultures, beliefs and traditions

Man you are coming with some good questions!! People that keep their minds in little small boxes are scared to see the big truth. They are comfortable in their little box, full of narrow mindness and ignoarance. You are absolutely right my freind, when you tell people something that goes against what they have learned or even better, things that they don't know, they get so offended and take it personal!! How can people love to be in denial!??! Doesn't it remind you of the narrowed minded people that were told that the Earth was round and the public killed them!?!?

because people are small minded and cant accept the fact that people may be different from them and even though they are they have feelings of their own.

Because people who are ignorant of Indian culture associate it with the famous Indian that comes to mind, and would rather call it by an incorrect name than simply asking you what it is if they don't know.

Well, some of it is prejudice, but you do have to bear in mind a lot of people only really know about India through what they are exposed to in the course of their education, and through the media.  I couldn't tell you for sure how it is in India, but at least in the United States, educational materials tend to have a historical bent to them (so we get a much more detailed picture of India's past than we really do its present), and the media is far more likely to report problems around the world than it is to report all the good things going on.\n\nSo, the impression that filters through to many people is one of an overpopulated India where people don't have decent homes, enough food, clean water, or adequate clothes.  We see mostly the parts that are underdeveloped, that are impoverished and where the people are suffering.\n\nIs that a fair and accurate impression of India?  Of course not, and Indians should be angry their country is largely portrayed that way... but you do have to remember a lot of the ignorance of other people is just that.  It's ignorance, and let's face it, not knowing something isn't enough to understand you don't know it.  For all they know, that's an accurate portrayal of your country and they've been apprised of the salient facts.\n\nUnfortunately, the most consolation I can genuinely offer is to say India's not the only country which has such problems.  Just about every country out there becomes more and more misunderstood the more distantly its related to another country.  Even the United States has that problem.

you cant ask such a question and some of the answers here tell me that they dont know the world.All the Indians are not the same.They vary in their culture,tradition and a lot more.The culture in Kerala is not the one in Kashmir.And the guy abt Indians Ive never heard about this "coconut dancing"but the dance of Indians are known all over the world.It is a true art form.search and c for bharathanatyam,mohiniyattam,odissi etc.And about Indians .All the countries have good people and bad people.But one thing,in India all the hindus muslims and christians live together and the govt gives them all equal rights and protects the minorities?doesnt this prove India's tolerance?

Most of humanity is ignorant because the universe is a big place and too little time is spent learning about it.\nPeople are dumb because they choose to be dumb.

Only those who have engaged in such a philosophy on life. Its sad to say a large majority of the population of earth belive that way and are indeed blind.

You are enlightened, don't let them pull you back down.\n\nI always love how we are closed-minded after we examine various world religions, philosophies, etc... but they have one book that they have read and they are open-minded.

The reservation system is based on caste ...... proving india is biased towardst eh caste system .... it should be the survival of the fittest ... raise taxes and open charitable schools for the lower castes if the need be but at least give the bright people a chance ........ the present situation gives the dumbest a chance while the average is turned into a dumb person .........\n\nits pathetic
