You are what curry you eat London: You are what you eat, some have always said. In Britain, it's the curry you order that might say who you are. Now that Indian food is by far the most successful cuisine in Britain, a new survey identifies personality types from the curries people order. The survey was conducted by psychologist Donna Dawson for the food company Sharwoods that has gone into ready Indian meals on a big scale. Some of the findings are a little more predictable than others. Lovers of hot food, such as what has become famous as the vindaloo, are the bold and fearless and quite capable of making life hot as hell for others.If it's a mild korma you like, you're the type with friends and fond of little home luxuries. A study of six favourites showed that each dish attracted a certain kind of person. Here's the breakdown: Vindaloo (heat seekers). Macho men seemingly fearless. Straight and direct, but lacking graces. As insensitive as their taste buds. But hardworking men of some character. Likely to be among the loudest at a party. Jalfrezi (hot and fruity). Again mostly men, the sunny types. The party soul in a more subtle way. Charming and often good at conversation, and they are often talking. Madras (hot and spicy). The sort that want sensation and adventure.They need to be entertained, and are often impulsive. Not surprisingly, not popular. Tikka masala (rich and creamy). The status-seekers who play safe. Think they set the trend in good taste. The steady workers, friendly and ambitious. Dhansak (lentil flavoured). The self-seekers. They tend to be independent but often resentful of others. Korma (mild and creamy, made with coconut). The people addicts, often women. The ones with the many friends. The women who are bored and would change something at home. The sensuous who love comfort. But it's the first category that is gathering the most fans. The simple theory behind this is that hot food launches natural pain receptors and the body produces positive endorphins to counter them.

Mohan naipaul also said the advent of Christianity did not damage India the way Islam did. AGREE. Its a part of their relegion that the non-believers are infinfidels and the enemy of the muslims. And the fundamentalists are always ready to bear arms against the non-muslims. And the rich are always ready to finance their jihads. On the other hand, pakistan has helped in uniting India. You always need a common enemy to bring you together from time to time and forget your own differences. According to Naipaul, India's creative force is the response to the Muslim & British rule and as the pentagon study points out , India has shed its colonial legacies. India is seeking its rightfull place among the family of nations. India is reborn in the view of pentagon study and Naipaul's view. Creative Force is the Sakti. Now we can skyrocket from here. Already many people are moving back to India from overseas countries. I see more of this happening as India becomes less beuracratic. ratan
