As stereotypes go...




This is the image that the West has of India. Snake charmers, holy men, cattle on the road, people living in squalor.
Let me tell you... all of that is true.
But among the top 10 billionaires of the world, seven are Indians.
Most of the clothes that the world wears are Made in India.
India is also the back-office of the world.
Some of the most fabulous people I have met in the world are Indians.
Indians are also the software technology kings of the world.
All in all, Indians rock. Indian sadhus (holy men who stay in the forests, smoke a big joint and take a dip in ice-cold water) too.
