I am not blind nor have blocked my mind to learn new things from anybody including you! Remember Richierichie in the context you mentioned, may be your friend's version what you were portraying now, if you would have told before, this conversation wouldnt have happened! Now see you proved your friend spoke in an encouraging way about a country he visited whereas your comment was what about millions of people does not know to read and write in India and THIS POST is about US Born Indians achievement! Go back and see your first comment which questions against the main post!!!

May be to counter my reply, you must have gone back to your friend and got the right version now!

Like I mentioned in my above postings, that the world contributes its growth in a mutual way, strengths and areas of improvements are always there and whoever extends his or her hand in any way in any part of the world, it is always appreciable and highly commendable and most important if he is an outsider, even more praiseworthy like your Priest friend did! My point is again do not generalise negatively any thing based on your opinion!
