Hey... you guys were the first people in the Americas too!!! But why did you stop wearing feathers in your hair and sleeping in teepees?

I'm sure you're very pretty. They must've been trying to impress you.
Speaking seriously, wonder why they did it? Beats me too.
Expnad...
I know what you posted, you did so in the right spirit.
I looked up your age and found you're not so young. You should have shown more maturity.
So many people talked of so many great things about our Motherland, others (some knowingly, others unknowingly) derided it but none of you...
...not one of you brought up the name of Gandhiji or Mother Teresa.
Where is your humility?
Expnad, always remember that a fruit-laden tree will always be bent towards the ground...
...maybe due to the weight of the fruit, but also in gratitude to the Almighty.
SORRY Expand, being proud of something does not mean flaunting it before the world.
AND SORRY for this lecture.
What erks me is this just keeeeeppppppps coming up...why do you all have to keep beating your chests? Let someone else applaud you for a change. And this is not just on QL. Iv had people from India leave these "earth shattering" statistics on my desk. Are you disgruntled because you feel Indians aren't given the respect "they" deserve? Well, this is not exactly the best way of earning it. Give it a rest already.

India has the world's second largest labour force, with 516.3 million people, 60% of whom are employed in agriculture and related industries; 28% in services and related industries; and 12% in industry...
With an estimated population of 1.13 billion,[8] India is the world's second most populous country...
India is the second most culturally, linguistically and genetically diverse geographical entity after the African continent.[50] India is home to two major linguistic families: Indo-Aryan (spoken by about 74% of the population) and Dravidian (spoken by about 24%). Other languages spoken in India come from the Austro-Asiatic and Tibeto-Burman linguistic families. Hindi, with the largest number of speakers,[97] is the official language of India.[98] English, which is extensively used in business and administration, has the status of a 'subsidiary official language.'[6] The constitution also recognises in particular 21 other languages that are either abundantly spoken or have classical status. The number of dialects in India is as high as 1,652.
Over 800 million Indians (80.5%) are Hindu. Other religious groups include Muslims (13.4%), Christians (2.3%), Sikhs (1.9%), Buddhists (0.8%), Jains (0.4%), Jews, Zoroastrians, Bahá'ís and others.[100] Tribals constitute 8.1% of the population.[101]
India's literacy rate is 64.8% (53.7% for females and 75.3% for males).[8] The state of Kerala has the highest literacy rate (91%);[102] Bihar has the lowest (47%).[103] The national human sex ratio is 944 females per 1,000 males. India's median age is 24.9, and the population growth rate of 1.38% per annum; there are 22.01 births per 1,000 people per year.[8]

Thanks for explaining that to him. geez! I've lost my temper with that one.
MR PAUL before you object be sure someone translate what is been posted and object if there's anything offensive. you have no proof of racism that is why I called you Arse, misunderstanding happens if you don't inquire or investigates. If you're curios of something be sure that you have enough reason to back you up. with regarding to my previous arguments I had it translated and knows what they have been talking about.
Bakamuna - Mun okkoma Indian Pisso
I can show you number of other threads wherein the authors suddenly start writing in French or German....and nobody suspects anything racist in it. This particular thread is posted exactly in the section it has to be...so I find nothing offensive in it. Just a thing that this is repeated again and again for say, 10 times and so it has become so boring...lol...though I am an Indian...

all who are completely ignorant about India. L.N. Mittal is the richest man (Indian) of Britain. He is chairman of Arcelor Mittal as well. Ratan Tata bought Corus, Land Rover and Jaguar.
We have a very sound society with lots of values and culture. Our girls don't sleep with someone before marriage, barring exceptions. We are always united as one family. I don't think many cultures in the world can say this.
We live and let others live.
post this topic in the correct place. The fillipino group post topics in their own club in their own language, this topic is posted in the living community politics section, which people will read and post in English.
Thank you Shreeya, if thats all he said, then he could have posted in English so we could understand, and maybe agree with him.
And to you Kumar, i never said i was special at all, so now yer just putting words in my mouth. And theres no need to call me an Arse either is there ?
[img_assist|nid=103941|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
You are right Bakamuna....'India' was not there before british came; then It was called 'Hindusthan'. British tongue couldn't pronounce it and made in India. Our's is a 'Sindhu Vally Civilization' and certainly not 'Indus Valley'...again an incompetent british toungue...LOL....
For you Mr. Paul, Kumarjaward is not hiding anything..he simply says that He is proud to be an Indian and he 'll remain Indian...it doesn't make any difference that in which country he is currently staying....The world is my home...well, found anything racist in this statement?

Did you notice the title of this thread?
"Indians Let the world know what we stand for."
Some of my fellow country men speak our dialect here too so you must be deliberately picking on me. take you're best shot arse. show how proud British you are but one thing for sure we can speak English but you cannot speak our dialect so what makes you think you're special?
Where is the crappy moderator today,
If yer wanna answer yer fellow countryman, then do it by PM, not in the middle of a english speaking topic....
Its called respect for others, try it, yer may like it !
so what did yer say to him, that we all weren't allowed to see ?
[img_assist|nid=103941|title=.|desc=|link=none|align=left|width=|height=0]
you're making me laugh I am responding to my fellow Indian people and there's no racism in my posting. you are British you're more likely to be racist than me.
in another language other than English ?? Maybe yer spouting some racist crap against others ?

"What makes a nation, is the past, what justifies one nation against others is the past", says the noted historian Eric Hobsbawm.
Hence, when talking of a nation, it becomes very imperative that the past should also be talked about. And the past of India is as fascinating and interesting as it is momentous.
Proud to be Indian !

All I can tell you is that I am 58 years old and have only had 3 accidents in my life none of which were my fault and all of which happened in the 15 months that I have been in Qatar. All caused by our dear indian friends basically driving in a silly dangerous and dare I say it - stupid - manner. Incidentally - do u have to be a moron to drive a Nissan Urvan or a toyota bus thingy!
R u sayin Indians dont drive well... coz thts just lame..

Sorry dude, I do not agree with you on the fact that these guys(whose percentages u've given) are the excess(surplus) manpower after the country's needs have been fulfilled. I would say its the other way around.
I do not understand why my 'confidence',of all the things in the world, is coming under question here. We are debating an issue and y do u have to get personal and talk abt me n my confidence? My confidence doesnt have a d**n thing to do with what is being discussed here!! Why cant u see the topic and the person as different entities??
No one's talkin abt ignoring Newton or past discoveries. The question is abt building the future and how precisely are these things that were achieved long back, of course on which a lot of modern science is based, i would nt disagree, going to help us??By gloating on it??
Also that thing abt Sanskrit in Forbes magazine of July 1987, have u tried verifying it? I suggest u do some research on that.Also, navigation in Sindh 6000 years back?? I've read tht the civilisation is that old, but dont remember reading about anything abt their mercantile history!
Yeah do send me the links :)
Have a nice Day!!
Who dares,wins!
What are my contributions? And why I am here? Have I tried to take responsibility of one area atleast? I am just proud to be Indian (two strong doses of jingoism)on two occaisions when its Republic day and Independence day.

come on guys, really theres nothing wrong with posting something like this, others post some really silly posts, its a public forum, and given the fact theres a lot of Indian users here, what the problem..
the pic of that High School Musical guy (forgot his name...I'm no longer a teenager, people!!) on your profile. Guess there's no Indians to fill his shoes ;)
No offence about your country though..beautiful place, mostly nice people

--I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired
Yes I will give the links,
It’s not because of lack of opportunities. India got enough qualified persons to fulfill there need and the excess manpower in the country they are finding jobs outside and earning for there self and country. India never face a problem of skilled manpower.
You have purchased one computer but you don’t know how to operate it, then you have to hire someone from outside. That’s proves your weakness. Why you are not only one side of this side of the issue. First be confident on you also your country.
We can’t forget our past, hope you wont like to hear your for fathers are beggars. Sir.Isaac Newton lived from 1643 to 1727 .Newton laid the foundation for differential and integral calculus. His work on optics and gravitation make him one of the greatest scientists the world has known.
Can you ignore him by telling he has done his discoveries long back in the 16th century?
what I do not understand is why the percentage of Indians working in Xerox or NASA (wonder who compiled those stats,got any credible reference to site??)should make an Indian proud??What it shows is Brain-drain and lack of opportunities in their own homeland which made them go elsewhere.
Also all those things that happened milleniums ago, would it benefit any of those millions who cant have one square meal a day?
Ofcourse the country is booming and will progress n all that but all these things written here are yesterday,a past that 'was',long ago.
Who dares,wins!
I agree with realsomeone...Indian population is huge..so we could contribute more on good things and bad things as well....
draj....is disgusting raj...d stands for his nature...!!!
Cool dont be frustrated,
I just pasted an article which came on a US magazine
ha ha i feel funny by reading your satement, I agreed with you dear..your country Soamalia is the most developed country in the world, there is no crime, suicide, poverty, i wish i should be in Soamlia
Ummm, 38% of American doctors are not Indian, maybe if you start counting those who are of historic Indian ethnicity, but that isn't Indian now, is it?
the list needs be added
500 million in poverty
thousands sleeping the streets
too much honking
neglected classes
too much rape cases.
1 billion people, this is alot
fail the exam, commit suicide
women pay for her marriage
naked men worsshiped. and any more
this is also what you stand for, india is a fantastic country with so much to be proud of and so much to shy of.
those figures are to be expected purely on the merit that indians constitute 1/6th of humanity at over 1.2 billion.
i am from MARS...proud to be MARTIAN, bwahahahaha!!!
When I see that article, I felt its interesting, and most of the information’s in that article are new to me. So I posted it I did not made any change, I just added the complete article.
Once I posted, I saw some related posts, and I never expect this much controversies and criticisms.
I feel that I never done some crime, but some narrow minded persons took it in wrong sense, I ignored most of them and responded to someone who crossed the limit
Nice to see ur reply boss,,,,,,,,,

so the whole worlds knows that the indian who post this a biggest idiots in the world....
I just want to share some information, being an Indian even I was not aware of all this things. When I saw the article I thought to share with all that much
what does this means?? have u seen the real indians????? if not go to villages of india and help them to get belly full of lunch.. to get light in the night.. to get medical treatment.. and stop bomb blast.. have u seen the blast in jaipur... better go there and see the situation... do not be proud to be any.. be proud to be human... not animals....
