Is Indian Forum the Only place for Indians to ask questions on ASP.Net?
-
1. Don't call him Mr. - he may pick you to the bones... 2. No, however in your case it was a thinkable solution - I'm sure you noticed that he offered this as an option. Also you have all the right to NOT accept, even down-vote. Believe or not OG is a harmless person if gets his raw-met-of-lambs in time... 3. Bonus - Useful Reference Books[^]
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)
- Oh I thought "Mr." is a decent way of addressing someone and by the way I have not offended anyone that someone will pick me to bones. 2)"In my case" I was just asking for asp.net best practices book based on readers experiences as googling gave me so many results.But how does it matter if I belong to India or some other country? I never mentioned I have problem reading books written in English language. 3)Thankyou for the bonus links.

I want to ask everyone on codeproject is Indian Forum the only place to ask questions for Indians on ASP.Net.Why I am asking this please refer to the solution posted by Mr. OriginalGriff to my query here is the link http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/719809/ASP-Net-Best-Practices
Interesting, someone asked something similar earlier today and this was my response to him.
If you are not a native speaker, and you don't possess at least quasi-western social attitude, Code Project is not the best place for you. That is how it is, it's a site run out of Canada catering towards American and Canadian developers primarily (and to a lesser degree European and Australian devs too). The General Indian Topics forum exists not because it's a place for Indian devs to socialize but so that Indian devs who don't fit the above characteristics can stay off the Lounge and the Soapbox. I am not trying to scare you away, just trying to be honest about how it is. There are plenty of Indian developer sites run by Indians - so you should be able to easily find alternatives.

Is this something written by your own? You mean to say being an Indian I have no right to ask a quesion other than in Indian Forum?You mean to say Indians dont have the knowledge to ask question openly. They should only interact in Indian forums? And sharing knowledge depends upon which country I belong to? Your response was not good enough.

That is not what Nishant wrote. You may notice that Nish is Indian himself. What he was pointing out is that oftentimes Indian contributors get a tougher ride because western attitudes jar with them. If you ask a good question, and show that you have tried then that is all that matters.

It's pretty difficult to read Nish's reply like that IMO. I read it as something like: the majority of users here are north Americans and a few Europeans, and that they/we don't accommodate people outside this group well, so Indians who have problems might be better off elsewhere. If anything I'd say it was a mild rebuke to the community, rather than advice naff off elsewhere. Of course, only Nish can explain what he meant obviously, but that is how I read it.

Namaste, Nish-ji, I always thought the title "General Indian Topics" was a secret code for "Cricket Forum," used because the Walt Disney Company threatened to sue CodeProject for trademark infringement on the "Jiminy Cricket" brand. But, I have never been able to explain why QA Forums do not have titles like "Homework C#", "Homework C# 4.0," or, even titles like, "Exam Panic C#," etc. What did "homework" infringe on ? Am I all wrong just to judge forums by their content ?

I am certain the intent in his remarks was to be helpful. Lighten up, brother DotnetCoders001: CodeProject is not "andher nagree chauput raja" country. Don't hang the man who did not steal anything.

Wow, Nish - really? I've spent over a decade trying to ensure our community is inclusive, understanding, and holds on to the notion that English is not everyone's first language. CodeProject welcomes all cultures, and through our incredibly diverse membership I've learned more about other cultures than I ever thought possible. Yet you essentially tell this guy that if he isn't North American he should go to a different site. That's incredibly depressing to read that from you.

Actually no. GIT was created so that a) Our extremely large Indian population would have a place to be themselves, to converse in their own language and to post their (sometimes unique) humour. b) Indian newcomers to CodeProject would have a place to acclimatise and to get a feel for what works and what doesn't work in a forum that's extremely multicultural. GIT was created because we have a large Indian membership. We wanted to encourage that membership, and wanted a place to allow our Indian members to get their feet wet if they aren't yet comfortable with Lounge. It's most certainly not a place to corral anyone so they can "stay off the Lounge and the Soapbox"

Just Chill.. You should focus on what you want. Your question is to get some good book that you have now(i think). Try hard to learn ASP.NET. Although i am not in favor of OG but you can tell him that you know english language very well So he can suggest good books. IMO, You should refer C# good book[^] and ASP.NET good book[^] I suggest you to give more efforts toward your study than discussing such point. Best luck

Wow - why didn't told it earlier! Now I have to go... Forgive me but it's all bl*sht! I'm not American, nor Canadian, not even European (not anymore) and never got close to any Australian. I'm not a native English speaker either (English is my fifth language only!), but never got the feeling I'm second rate...

It hard to say something not abusive about such a abusive accusation. I hope after you sleep well tonight you will see too how that was unfair toward CP members... As to this case - did you read the original question and the answer from OG? He only offered an option in OP's language. As Op is a relative newcomer - so he may not aware of it. He (OG) even made it clear, that his intention was - comprehension...
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

I re-read what I wrote and I do not understand how you came to these conclusions. I did not imply any of those things you seem to think that I did.

Well cricket and Indian politics seem to be the most popular topics there, that's for sure. :-)

I believe that you've misinterpreted my response. I was not referring to the people who run this website, nor was I trying to speak for them. And there is no question of being "2nd rate" or anything like that - it's just a matter of what site is suitable for someone, and what site is not. It's equivalent to an Objective-C programmer trying to get help from the MSDN forums, and being told that the Apple dev forums may be a better bet. That's what I was going for there.
