For a while back there, I actually though you made legitimate points even if it grates coming from someone whose family decided that they can't cut it in India & who is now lecturing those who didn't make that choice & stayed here about how to improve India. I accept your points even if your family didn't want to bother themselves about improving India. However your ignorance is showing, you actually think that Hindi will necessarily help with talking in the rural areas especially in the South? Then you made that pretty needless comment about cleaning up the ganges instead of asking for food aid? Can't remember the last time India asked for food aid, maybe you have heard of something called the green revolution?
Sure we have problems and sure we can do with all the good wishes of everyone including NRI's but your above rant makes it that much more difficult to swallow, when at the end of your harangue, all you will do is sit back comfortably in the U.S.and somehow pretend to be doing your part in improving India.
Listen up read all the posts before you pass judgement. I reacted rudely after i got upset being treated badly for giving my 2cents just like anyone else here. Who said my family can't cut it out there. My uncles and aunts all reside in India and they have made a damn good living there. My father owns 70 acres of land in Kerala alone. My mother was working here in America and married my father who decided to come over. o don;t be too quick to make accusations when you don't have all the facts. Yeah green revolution took place in the 60's under with the help of America. Unforunately, the green revolution stagnated and is in a dismal state. Thats why there are calls from india to kick start it again. You really need and get your facts straight buddy. Food Aid is coming from NGO's and Britain, again check your facts. Sit back, all I can do is give what i can due to distance. Believe me I do my part, and I educate 5 kids a year with the money I donate every year. So don't talk crap. I donate to 5th pillar in Chennai to stop corruption. The only thing I cannot do is march to protest the corruption at all levels. Thats where you need to stop sitting on your lazy and change. Thats the problem with many of this generation, you're only interested in money and expect everything to be handed to you. You guys can't even climb a tree, don't know how to pick a mango, cant milk a cow, cut bleed a rubber tree but I can. I and my ancestors are for the paddy field and we are a resilient lot, who make something out of nothing. I take dirt and make money and I love knowing I have that ability. So next time, think about this and do your part instead of lecturing me what I don't do.
As for Hindi that for living in the North, living in the South will be a different matter and in Bangalore you get away just Hindi. Trust me I know.
Suck it up and get over the fact that a poster with a flag different from India is criticizing India. If you feel so strongly, go out and do something about it. Be proactive and implement change. Don;t give me that ...Ahh the babus are so corrupt things will get better with the next election or some other BS. Who says stuff like this needs to slap themselves repeatedly.
