I1. India means dirty in our mind. .
2. There are a lot of corruptions in China, however, once compared with India, we all believe our officials are very efficient and honest.
-- welll some may agree to this !!! but have got no proofs to back it up....
3. There are rumors that you guys never use toilet paper.
-> whats the deal then ? if west uses toilet paper ? Common Indians dont believe that's the cleanest way.. again what's ur point in it ? just becoz u use toilet papers ?
4. It is said electricity can be cut off in New Delhi several times a week.
-> Point to be noted... Can't deny this....
5. To visit India from Australia, you are required to have some vaccine first, the travel insurance is much more expensive compared to travel to China.
-> Since i am not from Australia.. got no Idea.. but last time I checked one of the serious flus in this decade originated in china bird flue !!!
6. One of my Indian friends married a young lady who he even don't know.
-> So again ?whats the deal... people can know abt their partners before marriage or know them after marriage.. after their parents select for them with their consultations... Guess India doesn't rank among the top countries where u have divorses !!
7. a 25 years old friend of mine drinked her first cup of wine and told me this is totally not believable in India.
-> That cud be just becoz she isn't from a city or due to her family.. But yeah will agree to this to some extent..Ladies having a drink in public places is quite not normal except for cities like Bombay and likewise...
8. One of my Indian friends send a group invitation to about 10 people for his birthday dinner and said he will treat us in a "high end" restaurant - later proved to be a take away food shop in the CBD.
-> Want to comment ur china towns in US here !!! breeding grounds of crime after blacks ? But lets not stereotype or generalize...
.. here China is seen as a cheap dumping manufacturer by a common american.. does that Change ur perspective on CHina ?
9. I told one of my Indian friends that I take shower twice a day, he was shocked and told me they take shower every three days.
-> I dont know if all these Indians r ur friends or u too naive to generalize personal habits to everyone else u see.. seems u do carry a heavy load of prejudice. I know americans, pakistanis and Indians who do take bath every day and someothers don't .. so what's the point ?
10. last but not least, actually my favourite one: it took India 30 years to "test" their Arjun/LCA, but these junks are still not combat ready
->Success is sweet, but failure is never worthless.. Somebody who fears of failure goes nowhere.. I wish India does more research... sometimes great things come out from nowhere.. but for sure, if u dont start u dont get anywhere....
