A Passage to India

An urban Indian teenager writes a story about a white society in the west and it becomes popular to an extent that the entirety of India decides to go crazy about it and make it a movie.

A white foreigner comes to India and depicts the slums of India as representative of the entire country - reducing the great Oriental culture to a homogenised poverty stricken human-trafficking giant, without any sort of hope for its citizens.

An Indian superstar goes to a white country and is stopped at the airport.

An Indian does not get an Oscar yet another time.

India's media presence makes it the biggest and most threatening rapist.

India's Scientist manage to launch rockets at minimal costs, and still feel insecure in comparison to NASA - and then they leave to be a part of NASA.

Indians hate each other, but maintain a stance of 'Unity in Diversity' - and yet do not recognise parts of the country as their own.

India hold a population captive. A neighbour holds the rest of that population captive, however China is a bigger problem to India and it's controlled dominance. No, Indians do not feel the need to identify with colonialists.

Britain is still to blame for the imposed European laws, that is now touted as Hindu Culture.

India's Prime Minister is more popular on clothing options, than amongst the educated.

India's rural areas have no jobs, and the rich still move to overcrowded Americas. Who's even working in this country?

Perhaps the Prime Minster is, oh wait, he just took a flight to travel in another country, who needs a foreign ministry, right? The great Prime Minister works in other countries and makes promises that do not get delivered to them, or to his citizens.

Stop promising help and 'achhe din', when the Prime Minister is a bigger Page 3 phenomenon than the entirety of Indian pop culture and Rakhi Sawant.
