 words written or
attitudes displayed, bound by context, it is also
not difficult to assess where Umesh's sentiments
lie. In that his response was not necessarily the
sole product of my unfortunate use of the word
unfortunate.

 I do stand by that assessment Ram. It is a
desi-cul! tural trait. South Asian in general. In
that it does extend to some Kharkhowas too, even
though my assessment here is that it is to a
lesser extent than some other desis.

> >Thats quite an indictment. :)


Do you dispute that? Regardless, rest assured,
you are entitled to your opinion too. Far be it
for me,the not-so-humble anti-Indian kharkhowa,
than to deny you, the desi-patriot, that right to
disagree :-).


Also, on the issue of the ethnic Assamese being
tarred and feathered together with other Indians
, on account of geographical boundaries or forced
political
bondage, isn't exactly a defendable argument. As
you might have noticed, I explained to someone
calling me an Indian, that it is an incorrect
perception: I WAS an Indian national. That was
thirty years back. Today I am an Ameri! can
national. And my ethnicity is Assamese. I don't
know how I could be labeled an Indian :-).

C-da,
 
I'm sure you would be surprised to hear that Chinese Americans have been at the forefront in ensuring that US trade with China develops . Some Chinese American professors  are even going on leave to help improve Chinese economy. Atleast some of them are second generation or third generation ones. Same for Taiwan. 
 
This fact is highlighted by the Indian media time and again and they lament that Indian Americans are not doing their bit for India to that extent.

The keyword 'unfortunately' could send the message that 'something'

I don't see any need for it. A few may develop an interest. That

anything about it? Aren't Indians able to mind their own business?
From what I read all the time, Indians are  interested in minding
pother peoples' business more than their own. Good thing our children

 Prior to joining the Administration, he was a Senior Management

 Earlier in his career, Baruah has also worked for the Secretaries of
