oooh, this thread is interesting... I am learning so much! We were always 'poor' (never mind that we had 25% of world GDP up until the british came), we were small warring nations (never mind that we were one country from afghanistan to burma until 3rd century and then buddhism took over), we were uncivilized (never mind that we were much better than the greeks) ... ummm lemme see, I covered Marx, British and Islamic versions of history. Did I miss anything? Oh yes, I forgot the modern western version - all Indians smell like curry, 80% of Indians are poor and every other Indian is a snake charmer. There, that covers all the stereotypes about India. Please add if I missed anything.

You can deal with pessimists but cannot deal with people of low esteem. I am out of this thread.

Anyway, the discussion we are having is not in the scope of Team-BHP. This should be discussed on India-forum or Bharat-rakshak. Mods should close this thread IMO.
