>You are defending the sensibilities of an unban educated
India. But I have no problems believing the story where
an upper caste snooty family will have problems sleeping to
a Dalit family. That India too exists. Even today.>

Does an upper class snooty person in the US goes to the same parties as the person in the hoods. And no cliques will form when they all get together in times of trouble. Don't you watch Survivor? <g>

I realize that India has stronger class differences than the US. I am not disputing that. All I am saying is some elements of the media are playing up these minor problem. The West (and Indian media does that too) wants to look at India only through the lens of Hindu- Muslim or caste differences. They should not be that lazy and do actual reporting not just strengthen the prejudices of the Western audience.

Are you seeing any good stories about people helping other people in India without the help of "foreign aid". How often do you hear that? And you seem to have an awareness about India.

Tell me truthfully. Don't people in India help each other in times of trouble? Do they call it charity? Do they spend time patting themselves in the back all the time that they helped someone in trouble.
