Prabhu Karthik addresses a letter to the average NRI and asks him to stop worrying about India and instead, devote his energies towards improving his adopted country. Fair enough! I am sure Prabhu can singlehandedly take care of India.
Have you ever cribbed in public about the inordinate delays in getting the coveted green card nowadays? I am sure some US government department is handling that too?
Why don’t you try to do something about the subtle racial discrimination you experience day in and day out, especially if you are in Europe? Why don’t you work towards eradicating the gun culture in your US of A.
Most of my resident Indian friends who’ve been to the US have either heard or experienced first hand mugging instances, please do something about it. After all, that is much more dangerous than the fleecing auto-driver or the saavu dance amidst traffic jam in Chennai.

Hi,
I would like Desipundit more if you guys would refrain from making personal comments on Desipundit. I’m referring to “I am sure Prabhu can singlehandedly take care of India”. I would really appreciate if Desipundit maintains some sort of neutrality. If you disagree with a particular blog post, please write about it on your personal blogs, not here. At least don’t get personal.

Vinod,
Thanks for your comment. While I disagree that my comment was personal in nature, the larger point remains: DP has always carried comments from the linkers-positive or negative depending upon the post and the individual linker.

Vinod, please see the DP “about” section,
…we are merely a reflection of the Indian blogosphere; we do not create content, we just link to it. Don’t be surprised if they come laced with our snarky and erudite comments though. Our contributors come with their own baggage of prejudiced but educated opinions and that clearly reflects in their linking pattern.

While I do sometime get annoyed with the ‘personal bias’ (especially if they go against my bias:)), I do feel that the policy to allow that expression makes DP a more interesting place.

Over three years ago, I wrote about how there’re 20 similarities between India and the USA. Perhaps things have become even more similar now!
