I told him about Bombay, which glowed in the night like a lamp. I told him about Bangalore, about the beaches of Goa, of Pune, where elaborate retirement homes and ashrams ringed India’s ferociously competitive colleges, and liberals went to experience transcendence without getting their feet dirty. I told him of places you could expand your mind and still be within walking distance of the nearest McDonalds.","author":"Yudhanjaya Wijeratne","tags":["future","indians","travel"],"id":57403,"author_id":"Yudhanjaya+Wijeratne"},{"text":"An hour later, Amina stood at a pay phone in a mall hallway, where poop and perfume and the grease from the food court formed the kind of atmosphere you might find in Jupiter's red spot.","author":"Mira Jacob","tags":["immigrants","indians","life-and-living","united-states"],"id":81729,"author_id":"Mira+Jacob"},{"text":"In 1492, the natives discovered they were indians, discovered they lived in America, discovered they were naked, discovered that the Sin existed, discovered they owed allegiance to a King and Kingdom from another world and a God from another sky, and that this God had invented the guilty and the dress, and had sent to be burnt alive who worships the Sun the Moon the Earth and the Rain that wets it.","author":"Eduardo Galeano","tags":["america","civilization","columbus","columbus-day","indian","indians","native-american","native-americans","usa"],"id":91920,"author_id":"Eduardo+Galeano"},{"text":"Our relations with the Indians have been governed chiefly by treaties and trade, or war and subjugation.","author":"Nelson A. Miles","tags":["trade","indians","governed "],"id":95105,"author_id":"Nelson+A.+Miles"},{"text":"The most dangerous people in the world are not the tiny minority instigating evil acts, but those who do the acts for them. For example, when the British invaded India, many Indians accepted to work for the British to kill off Indians who resisted their occupation. So in other words, many Indians were hired to kill other Indians on behalf of the enemy for a paycheck. Today, we have mercenaries in Africa, corporate armies from the western world, and unemployed men throughout the Middle East killing their own people - and people of other nations - for a paycheck. To act without a conscience, but for a paycheck, makes anyone a dangerous animal. The devil would be powerless if he couldn't entice people to do his work. So as long as money continues to seduce the hungry, the hopeless, the broken, the greedy, and the needy, there will always be war between brothers.","author":"Suzy Kassem","tags":["army","bad","battlefield","british","brothers","capitalism","chaos","combat","conflict","conscience","corruption","countries","danger","dangerous","deeds","destruction","devil","divided","division","ethics","evil","evil-acts","evil-men","greedy","helpless","hopeless","humanity","hungry","india","indians","mankind","mercenaries","middle-east","middle-east-conflict","military","minority","money","nations","needy","peace","people","political-science","politics","profit","reasoning","seduce","sociology","united","unity","unrest","war","warring","wealth","wiked","world"],"id":125678,"author_id":"Suzy+Kassem"},{"text":"The so-called mystical characters of India, whom you call in many ways, such as “swami”, “baba” and “guru” are nothing but an informal, cheap and primitive substitute for modern psychotherapists or counsellors.","author":"Abhijit Naskar","tags":["brainy","india","indian-culture","indians","inspirational","psychology","psychology","social-psychology","truth","truth"],"id":129314,"author_id":"Abhijit+Naskar"},{"text":"So I have an Indian heart if I do something illegal?''No, you have an Indian heart if you understand the limitations of our resources and are willing to step out of the man-made boundaries of the law to help someone.","author":"Anirban Bose","tags":["indians","philosophy-of-life"],"id":132243,"author_id":"Anirban+Bose"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":39,"pages":4,"next":"?page=2\u0026page_size=10"}}
