typical indian, always happy to embrace slavery. india should only have sanskrit as a national language. otherwise we remain cultural slaves of british

How am I praising or endorsing slavery?
Why don't you be an example and start speaking Sanskrit rather than English?

Rather funny post for a 'claimed' researcher and writer. Is that why you write 'fiction'?

Fiction needs a lot of research as well.

Information on a computer can be voluminous; but it is finally information that is fed in by somebody else! Then you are confronted with the quandary: how authentic or credible is it, how much should you accept it?

That is done by phone or contact through e-mail. In reality I have learned by experience going to the head office helps nothing. Even HP head office in Canada didn't stack up on any real information or performance reports.

OTOH, what you get from going out and seeing and hearing things for yourself is experential. Then you are able to weigh matters for yourself and almost instantly you may be even able to separate the wheat from the chaff.

I know this technique from the old days before I got sick. It is good for interaction and weighing different opinions. The real knowledge comes from reports and statistical data. In the end it is always up to the person how he perceives things.

Its like when you say something to my face; I can assess that information by all my senses in addition to just reasoning.
But if you just put it on my monitor, it just have the words in front of me to go by; a big component is missing.

The issue is if I say something will you believe me. Will you believe the Kashmiris protesting today? It is up to the person... his perception. Stats and figures are much harder to deny. That 87% Kashmiris want freedom when I say it is more like a slap than saying so and so Kashmiri said this.

People point it out to me as well that my personal anecdotes from PNA and SW days are unworthy at convincing them as a weapon to bash me.

@liontk; your intention is sound. Learning is at its best when its experential. While there may be some practical difficulties, go out and execute it whenever you can. Don't get fazed by cultural differences, poverty or anything at all. They are not barriers, but simply challenges!

Vive la Difference!

Liontk do visit regardless of the views on what you will learn. Expect cultural shock and carry a bottle of clean nestle (bottled) water all the time. Electricity also goes off at times. Best research before going. I have never gone anywhere without research.

look i am not defending the louis french for there actions however ask the residents of the colonies pondicherry, how the rule was and then ask a native of british inde how the rule was, I am sure you know the conditions yourself, once again I am not supporting in any way or form nor legitimizing colonial rule, just stating that condition were not as worse as some people like to state. Also as far as territories go, there is a considerable amount of area that french empire rules even under the first republic, they had decent amount of territorie and all these terroitories observed the Napoleonic code, which i believe is superior to modern common law, heck we still have it today in Quebèc

That map is terrible.
