A Myth about not just India but all of Asia. They all struggle with poverty due to SOCIALISM. They are now doing better because they are giving up socialism and moving towards a free-market. This is true of every South East Asian country, Sri Lanka and India.
India learned from Britain and adopted Western ideas that have made them successful.
This is another myth. Britain destroyed them with state controls and when they left they transferred power to the socialists. The free-market crowd was kept out and eventually destroyed.
I have no problem whatsoever with Indian Americans in office.
I have none either as long as they are not socialist.
I have never heard an Indian American whine or demand special treatment.
I agree but most of them have no clue about Middle America and allow the Democrats in NJ and CA to teach them the ropes of American politics. Their only exposure is that "everyone regardless of party is pro-market, but the Republicans are racist while the democrats are against racism." If they are smart, they should see through this instead of getting fooled.
Good insights, Jim. I’ve got a lot to learn. None of the Indians I know are socialists or even liberal and I am just used to hearing, and never questioned, that India is a democracy. The people I know are so hard working, conservative, honest and brilliant.
The racist stuff is just amazing when the evidence is so overwhelming and clear.
