When people like Chick Magnet and Broady were so convinced by the empty facts, some Indians like Agastya (and maybe others that 'liked' the posts) jumped on. Indians trolling Indians. Worst kind. While I would deem the hateful western forum members as masturbators within the thread, I would deem the Indian ones premature ejaculators. Trolling your own background and culture comes at a price. And it's a different level when there are guys that were born to "Indian" parents but never been to India. As if that gives you more liberty to troll Indians from the homeland.
There are plenty of aspects of Indian culture that I see as far superior to Western culture. India's current poverty and overpopulation are historical novelties. If you read European or Arab travel accounts from before the colonial period, you'll notice that foreigners were awed by Indian wealth, architecture, and military might. The Mughal emperors were among the most powerful men in the world throughout their reign, as were the Guptas, the Mauryas, and the emperors of Vijayanagar. Similarly, I think Indian family values vastly outweigh those of certain western cultures. I love the color of Indian culture, the food, the music, and yes, I love visiting the country itself and witnessing my own heritage.
Every country has its problems. Would you deny America has a problem with obesity and police violence? Would you deny that Apartheid South Africa had a problem with racism? Would you deny that Ciudad Juarez in Mexico has a murder problem, or that Japan has issues with underpopulation and birthrate.
Similarly, I'm justified in pointing out that yes, India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh have issues with rape and violence against women. Dowry burnings don't happen in other countries. Things like acid attacks and female infanticide persist in India. I'm not being an "Uncle Tom" when I point this out. Obviously I don't think that every man in India is an evil, murderous rapist, and I'm fully aware that the idiotic Western media has exaggerated these issues in an attempt to profit off of worldwide Indophobia. These things are still problems, however, and deserve to be treated as such.
