Nice. Interestingly, I don't really like Indian curry (or what's commonly referred to as Indian curry). I love South Indian fish and beef curry preparations but that's not available in any of the Indian restaurants I've been to outside Kerala (my state in India). I've recently developed a huge liking for bacon and have it regularly for breakfast despite my wife's warnings that it may not be too healthy. I wonder if there's a word for a bacon loving brown Indian.

Unfortunately, there are some people who just want to create trouble for all others. This is all too common and by no way restricted to MH. Do you know the High Court in TN has functioned for all of 9 days this year? The lawyers are up in arms 'for the sake of Sri Lankan Tamils'. Very honourable, I'm sure, but why would anybody in Sri Lanka care if the Madras High Court functions or not?

That's odd. For centuries black people were ill-treated because of their dark skin. So they don't want to be referred to using their skin color, specially since most "black" people aren't really black-skinned. Many "black" people are actually lighter toned than "brown" Indians.

I meant not regularly but if it comes out while talking, is that offense or the way you used the word matters?
How you mean it does not matter much - what matters is how the word/phrase fits into a social context. As a more explicit example, you don't say, "Have you seen Mary?" and someone asks "Who's Mary?", and you say (in public) "Oh that big breasted girl from accounting". Factually it may be true, but that doesn't mean she's going to like it to be referred to using the size of her breasts. You can say you didn't mean to be rude and you were just trying to be accurate - but I doubt anyone'd buy that argument.

Nish, you have to watch Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanomo Bay (can't access http://www.imdb.com/ fromwork so can't get you a link), there is a small but fantastic scene where Kumar (the Indian) has a go at a very white black bloke (security guard) at the airport. Kind of sums up exactly what you are saying here.

Billu Barber[^] of later changed to Billu, a movie was released on Feb 13, 2009. Its really frustrating that people of The Salon and Beauty Parlors’ Association in Maharashtra(a state in India) found the word barber derogatory. WTF. I do not understand this. What is derogatory in calling a barber, a barber. If someone calls me a developer it does not makes me happy or sad. I am a developer so he/she called me a developer. Now why the hell should I find it derogatory? It is almost same as black people getting offended on being called as black. I am brown. Call me brown and there is nothing to be sad or happy about it. Black is black, brown is brown and white is white. But the discrimination is wrong. Getting back to the movie. I have seen it. Point out one scene where the term is used to show discrimination and I will step back. Caling barber a barber is offensive....huh....go fuck yourself then. Thanks for reading. I just could not stop myself.

It is the context that speaks louder than the word it self. If by mare calling someone black you intent as their skin color then there is nothing wrong with that, but if you meant or your words indicate otherwise it is something different. I have a brown color, and once a colleague of mine asked me to join him to a conference room. There were another 2 more people in the conference room (all white). They were discussion the same topic. then one of them ( with some hesitant voice ) asked me what I feel if someone calls me black. I told them it depends on the context of the usage. If by black they meant it as derogatory or to show superiorty or inferiorty it will have different meaning than trying to express my skin color the same as I would use white. So, the bottem line, what was the context of barber used in the movie :confused: :~ Many times, many movie like to stretype something to get a buzz for the movie. X|

It certainly is within India's right to ask foreign countries to treat Indian descendants fairly, all the more so when said countries depend on Indian aid.
I agree with that to an extent though I think sometimes we overdo it. For example, whenever Indian Americans are in the news, it becomes news in India too - even when these are 2nd generation US citizens who have never been to India. I don't really have a full picture of how Tamils are treated in Sri Lanka, but their most celebrated cricketer (Murali) is not only Tamil but he married an Indian Tamil girl (daughter of the Malar hospital owner I think - which is apparently one of South India's best heart hospitals). Of course he's rich and their best ever cricketer - so that's probably a wrong example when trying to consider the average plight of Tamils in that country. I get what you are saying though, but I still think it ridiculous that people in Tamil Nadu give so much priority to the issue when we have much bigger issues in our country.
