The great Indian racist

[ashish1]

Haha if this makes you sleep easy then keep believing it 70 years and it still it hurts the torch bearers of 'ancient civilization' that some sane ones jumped ship.

It doesnt hurt but we are extremely happy and glad that they got seperated from us given there current situation

But the brawl started by calling/considering the victim somewhat inferior "chinki" ?

Wrong. It started with his "blonde" hair.

Unlike you lot I actually have an interest in History and remember the plight of India as late as nineties. It was openly ridiculed for its 'Hindu rate of Growth' (its a real term - Google) and all one heard from Indian leadership was never ending wailing of how 'west' favors Pakistan. Hence the irony of patriotic boosts from India are not lost on me. Nations go through tough times, Pakistan will come out of it in a year or two.

The example you presented, gives an impression you have an interest in Selective history and moreover you need to update you history collection there are two decades missing between nineties and present day. As far as Pakistan coming out of tough times in a year or two is considered,has some break through been achieved in the talks with TTP?

The rise of racism can be attributed to the rise of Modi and his fans are the most racist person on this earth they call everyone who don't agree with them a ...............traitor.

They abuse opponents or people with different point of view and women.

The Hindu rate of growth is oneof the most B.S. terms ever.

Since it was Nehru and his cohorts that started using it and it was his brand of Fabian socialism that led to it.

Let us accept the fact that there are racist people among us... some time we call them Chinki, Behari,Madrassi......

We can be outraged by the racism in India only when we begin to accept that cultural and ethnic contamination is the overriding theme of our identity
On a trip to Lahore once, I was struck by the cultural similarities between my hosts and myself. We liked the same food, lived in similar surroundings, and shared the same jokes. It was an altogether friendly experience, separated by a border. On a similar trip to the Northeast, I realised how different I was from the local population. Despite the cordiality, the cultural and ethnic connection of my hosts was closer to China. Yet, I felt gratified that our differences were not a source of alienation, and that the boundaries of nation states were in fact not cultural, social or culinary boundaries.

Though I agree with some of his points, I don't get this. I don't share much similarity at all

Till then, Assamese women will continue to be groped on the metro; at bus stops, Mizo nurses on their way home will be seen by many passing motorists as easy prey. Africans anywhere will be presumed to be drug addicts and suppliers. The enforcing of such stereotypes is a cultural flaw, an acid test for an urban culture that oscillates between modernity, tradition and barbarity, often in the same breath. However long a Ugandan woman may live in a Delhi mohalla, or an Arunachal girl in a Bangalore suburb, they will not be invited to join the residents’ welfare association. Sadly, the stamp of “Resident Alien” is permanently fixed on their ethnicity. The Indian is an unforgiving and ruthless host, living by the rules of some imaginary past, uncomfortable in the rapidly changing present, and completely disconnected with his future in the city.

If anything, the insular state of urban life demands a serious look at outsiders by those who consider themselves insiders. Is a lack of assimilation a threat to cultural integrity, or is the current state of racial exclusion essential for religious and ethnic purity? The answer may shape India’s urban future.

I am just curious how Indians will defend this.

But there is no racism right. @scorpionx

You are a Mallu that's why

You know, he is kind of right. Some other Indians in this forum thought Chinki was not a racist term till they grew up and stopped using it. Ignorance.

At the other posters here, if you want a meaningful discussion and ideas expresssed, click the link @Spring Onion has provided and look at the comments on this article.

The comments so far here are disappointing.

People are going to have to deal with this as more North Easterners will come here in search of jobs.

i find the use of word "chinki" amounts to majority Indians' unwillingness to accept NEsties as Indians.

What about this?
