> Your comment on American culture----Are you familiar with the phrase " >culture >shock"?
*** It is one thing to describe the condition of shock arisen from being placed in an unfamiliar culture or environment---culture shock --, but another for the fanatic and self-appointed custodians of a particular component of a multi-cultural/multi-ethnic nation to hold mass rallies to threaten, intimidate and harass members of a much smaller community to accept THEIR version of what Indian culture MUST be. How would you react if your local White Spupremacists hold rallies in Texas demanding that you change your ways of life to what they dictate as the only acceptable American way? And if that happens to you, do you have any recourse? Or would you pack your bags back to the protective shelter of Bharat Mata's bosom ?
