I am NOT an Indian!!!

My blood boils when Indians come here or go anywhere else and say I don't like India. Some who hate to be called Indians or even be called of Indian origin?

I think each one should thank their motherland who gives their identity firstly, during the times of crisis your country provides you food to eat, our government provides free education which is well recognized in the world, you have a right to vote, you are safe, your family and children live with you under the same roof, you are not scared that someone might take them away from you, you don’t die of water and nor does anyone make you a slave or kill you because you are Jew or even just because you ask a simple question. Your 20 year old son is not sent to war for OIL.

Many countries suffer from TERRORISM or CORRUPTION or even BAD POLITICS today but that doesn't mean you blame your own country for it. I don’t say Indians are clean but for some handful people we can’t blame the whole country.

India isn’t like USA who thinks he is a world leader and calls a war on any nation, we are not murderers but yes we are stupid people. India has every right and reason to call a war on Pakistan but we don't do it. Now call ourselves a Coward but it is not about cowardice it’s about how many lives will this war cost, it might also give rise may be to a major war. One has to think of many political issues before calling a WAR and not ONLY about OIL. Who is America to decide what are weapons of mass destruction and whether which country can possess and which country cant.

India isn’t like Libya either where if you are not fit to work they cut your right hand so that you can’t vote. If you are fit to work, you are enslaved. In these North African countries, various tribes are killing each other. Where other countries have to come and dictate their terms and conditions. Each parent there doesn’t know if his son/ daughter will be alive next day or even with them or taken to some military camp where the 10 year old boy will be taught how to shoot and kill instead of love and live or 10 year old daughter will be gang raped and killed or kept as a mistress for the rest of her life.

And all those out there who deny to call yourself an Indian cause it is because you are an Indian many of you are successful Accountants or Software Engineers. Had the country not given you education where would you be?

We only blame India for everything but what have you and I done to make it better. We have left that country and come here to lead a better and safer life and all we do is talk about how bad India is and about their politicians. Many of us don’t even look after our old parents after we have left the country or even treat them right when they come here to meet us then what can others expect from the NRIs for the country. We don’t have a right to pass a comment or a judgment for that matter.

I know some might tell me you are surrendering your passport but my answer to them is I am NOT surrendering my Identity I am a person of Indian Origin and will remain. I am indebt to my motherland and one day I will repay it in my own small way.
