I remember there's a scene in Bend It Like Beckham where an Indian Hindu girl is called a "Paki" and she attacks in rage. I realize now that she wasn't angry at being called a racist name. She was angry at being mistaken for someone from a profoundly twisted culture.

My daughter had s couple of Indian-American girlfriends when she was in high school. I got to know a couple of the families and there were wonderful people, thoroughly Americanized. In fact one time I dropped the girls off at one of the Indian-American girls’s house. This girls had apparently forgotten to so some chores, hadn’t informed her mother where she was and was late getting home. You know typical teenage clueless behavior stuff. However the mother was quite pissed. So I got to watch and hear some parenting Bollywood style! The thing I remember most is what the Indian-American mom in a Shiva-like “Lady of Destruction” mode yell at her daughter - You going to act like a human being or are you going to act like a Muslim ?”

No they don’t like Muslims!

The Indian author (But Jamaica born!) V.S. Naipul says that the Muslim invasions of India were so destructive that parts of India still haven’t recovered.
