India struggles with poverty because of the fatalism inherent in Hinduism and yet they are a Democracy and some of the brightest people in the world are Indian.
India learned from Britain and adopted Western ideas that have made them successful.
I have no problem whatsoever with Indian Americans in office.
I have never heard an Indian American whine or demand special treatment.
That's nonsense. Many Christians and Muslims have their own fatalism / doomsday-ism, interpreting all and sundry, even the oil spill, as the end of the world.
You'll find at least 10 such threads, daily, over here itself.

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.
