    60th Republic Day[^] for India :cool: Saare jahaan se achcha, Hindustan hamara!

    Cheers, Vıkram.


    I've never ever worked anywhere where there has not been someone who given the choice I would not work with again. It's a job, you do your work, put up with the people you don't like, accept there are probably people there that don't like you a lot, and look forward to the weekends.   - Josh Gray.

      My guess is that someone finds Indian clothing not to their taste? OT: Speaking of taste, my mother in law came back last night from Birmingham and she bought me a whole wheel of Stilton! The first time I've tasted said cheese and by far, it has become my favorite blue cheese! :D

      On a digestive cracker with brie instead of butter, gorgeous! I love Stilton and Roquefort.

          I agree on your mentioned fact, however its yet not required to be to arrogant to others. No matter if anyone agree or deny, this is also a fact that if British rule had not accepted to give independence there would have been some more time of British rule in India. Anyhow, whatever is or was or could have been - why too arrogant to say 'we threw you out'. Being polite is not bad. Be Proud but stay humble... thats the way one and all should at-least try to be.

          Whoa, I put in the smiley to show I was joking. I wasn't feeling arrogant at all!

            I agree. However as a Brit I cannot think of anything that would instantly suggest Indian, without being instantly branded racist or whatever. Turban is only worn by a section of the population yet is taken to represent India by a large portion of non-Indians. What would you suggest?

              I love most cheeses, but blues generally are my preferred and Roquefort was my favorite and then I tried Stilton. Heaven! Currently, stilton reigns supreme amongst my preferred cheeses!

                Not a clue. The first stereotypical images that come to mind (for either sex) are: 1. A bindi 2. A turban 3. A sari 4. A sherwani 5. A Kurta But I leave it to other to choose how Bob should be clothed!

                  Perhaps Chris can't find anyone who can draw a Turban?

                    No, I am claiming he hates the English for he is blaming them for things they did not do! Slavery. Taxes. Partition. Also he denies they good things they did do. Doesn't that strike you as a little odd? He is venting anti english views, fine, although somewhat racist don't you think? If I was to sit here and constantly bemoan and run down India, would you like it? I think not. I defend my countries reputation for it is a good one, ok we have had our dark moments, but generally we have been a force for good in the world.

                      Turbans aren't pan-Indian, but I doubt anybody would brand you a racist for suggesting an Indian Bob wear a turban. Rohit Sinha created a kurta pyjama Bob that attained cult status :cool: but Chris has never put it up. :|

                      Cheers, Vıkram.

                        Holding Indian flag in hand would do.

                        The word "politics" describes the process so well: "Poli" in Latin meaning "many" and "tics" meaning "bloodsucking creatures." जय हिंद
