Racism in India is widespread. Sad thing is with years of colonial domination, cast system and social heirarchy, discrimination has become a way of life. Good on you Avnit.

I was just googling about some thing when the link to your blog popped up. I have been reading since two days now (in the office). The one about racism in India was amazing and I appriciate the way you have written. Mostly I burst out laughing after readingthe the other posts scaring my co-workers. I just wanna mention this one instance. I was travelling in a metro . It was jam packed. Like always some idiot men were sitting on the ladies seat, this one north eastern lady with the cutest little girl of 4-5 years (northeast Indian kids look amazingly cute) was standing, struggling for space. She asked those men to give her the place as it was reserved for women, they abused her back, i am pretty sure she didn't know what they called her. I was so shocked. I was in Delhi only for a week and I had only heard of Northeast Indians being harassed and here i was watching it happening infront of my eyes. I got up and told her that she could take my seat, she gave me a thankful smile. Somehow that incident got etched in my memory. BUWAHAhaha

No-- that was a holiday!), if the teachers remembered! We used to read it off our school diaries, because nobody knew it by heart, including the principal. What a load of crock.

Americans have it too? Must google it. Trivia- In india the national anthem plays before every movie. And the entire auditorium has to stand up in respect. Sometimes it hard to be respectful and stand still when the popcorn is begging me to eat it. Wheee! I have been blogrolled! Archaeogoddess: Aah! Americans have it too? Must google it.

And I am so relieved to hear that America and uber-scary fascist nations are not the only ones to have a pledge of allegiance that everyone is forced to say all the FREAKIN' TIME! Now the question is, did I manage to blog-roll you or accidently delete someone? Crap. Dude, I agree, with that pledge of allegiance, you had no choice but to go outside the metaphorical gene pool.
