    Is this a subtle ploy to have everyone vote kindly to the Indians, and by extension Nish so that gets out in front of JSOP again...

    What a great idea. I hadn't thought of that, but now that you mention it.

      Do you think it'll work?

        OK, that's a provocative title, but I couldn't really think of what else to call this post. I've just reread an old article and there are comments from a number of our Indian CPers on it. Curiosity got the better of me and I started to read their bios. The thing that impressed me is how many MVPs we have amongst our Indian community, and how proportionately they outnumber the none-Indian members of the site who are currently none-Code Project MVPs. Given the fact that the Indian development community have been given a hard time here, I'd like to take this opportunity to say "Blimey, you're doing a great job" to them and remind people that there while, in common with other groups, there are a number of poor devs there, there are also a number of excellent one's.

        Actually, Indian fellows outnumber us in pretty much everything: It is just that there are so many of them !

                Now that's funny, because people here in Brazil use to say I look like an Indian. :)

                There's no free lunch. Let's wait for the dinner. Take a look at Scattered Polaroids here in The Code Project.

                      No, they say I'm Indian from India. Used to be "Apu" in the past, but more recently "Raj" :)

                        If it is any consolation to you, I have been mistaken for a Hispanic-American and have been spoken to in Spanish!

                            I've been mistaken for a dog and had my leg humped. Bad Fido, no treat!
