I've been to India several times, I was told that being paler is a sign of being more educated as you spend less time in the sun (i.e. outdoor work). Not sure if there is any truth to that though.

From my experience, the worst racism I've seen is Indian on Indian. A friends mum is from Dehli, and I've been embarrassed to see they way she talks to other Indians.

And in Dubai they are generally the worst drivers. That's not racism, purely fact.

It's not "racism" its 'snobbery', Delhi-ites have it in spades
(Bengali's--- they are always Bengali's first, Indians second)!!!

(A generalism not ALL the same)

No idea what you are getting at, but then again I don't actually care.

So, basically it's same same but different?

I know we Brits / Westerners can be big time charlies but generally not that rude to lower-paid serving staff etc.

The worst people for being complete ***** to waiters etc I've seen are Indians with a bit of money. I've often been absolutely disgusted at the way they treat people. Obviously it's not all of them but I've seen similar behaviour several times.

Why mention it then??
You can't be racist against your own race!!!!!

Not sure why you can't understand one state thinking they are better than another state. Like Norfolk people grumble about Suffolk people!!!!

Yes agree, some are 'very' like that. Mainly the 'nouveau riche'.


A close relative is 'like that', my father in law used to call her---- (You're not going to like this!!!!)-- "The memsahib", not to her face of course. Could be, because she lived in Delhi for a while!!!!

because new money is so gauche compared to old!

BJP leader caught on camera, this week, trying to buy AAP mla for 4 crore.

The REAL agenda is Hindutva. Which really means the RSS control although they were not elected.

Anti Moslem MP's all over the place.

Transparecy.........Eighteen ministers in Modi government have serious criminal cases pending.

D.

would be considered racist if a north European called a Spaniard a wop or a dago!

Yes here we go again!!! But just replying to a post!!!!

You have been reading Congress propaganda!!

AAP ----not the BJP leader ?? involved in a sting. The AAP got the Delhi seat after false claims --too complicated to explain, they are a little like UKIP in UK, promised things they could not possibly fulfil like half price electricity.*

RSS are not a party in the sense that they can be elected, far right group such as far right sections of conservative party.

Who are the ant-Muslim MPs?????

Yes the criminal cases, whether they are real or not? not come to court. Indian MPs have the ridiculous habit of frequently bringing cases against each other.

*Look up Kiran Bedi, if you are really interested, hopefully will become the Delhi chief minister.

Cong propaganda, must be that NDTV again.( ask oh)

AAP carried out the sting. Clear as day.

I'm well aware what RSS is. Their aim, Hindutva.( Look like dads army on parade.) Modi & Co, all paid up members.

Amit Shah, for one, has been charged, today, for his hate speech.

The love jihad guy, Yogi. Banned from holding meetings, but did so anyway.

Another, whose name I don't know, threatened to send ' his boys ' to sort out the Moslems.

Yet another who reckons only Moslems cause trouble.

Kiron Bedi is only interested in building a new career. Initially she thought she could do it via Anna but dropped him when she realised what way the wind was blowing. Surely no heroine.

A year or so ago, I thought AAP would be the saviour of India. Just as you do with BJP. Hope we're both not disappointed.

Bipat & davsup2 I do not pretend to understand your little spat but it is or appears to be a discussion about Indian politics in the Middle East forum by two BE members who are not located in the ME. As such I would be grateful if you would take your discussion somewhere more relevant.

Thanks

Aw c'mon! I wana watch! And btw it was you who started this thread wasn't it? So let them discuss
