Hi Paaaartner,

Happy Independence day !

I am proud to be an Indian. I am not saying this like the people who suddenly have this feeling of "Indian" because of our booming economy and its recognition in the international circle.

I am proud to be an Indian because of our rich culture, our vast diversity, our religious scripts, our knowledge in the field of science centuries back, the king's rule, the different arts of fighting, Indian cuisine, languages and so on and so forth.

Sarey jahan sey acha, Hindhosthan hamara...

Paartnerrrr,

Happy Independence day

But i may not agree with you the reasons you specified for being proud of India..

What bothers me is "6400 castes"..

HOpe you understand what i am talking abt...we shud not be proud of our caste as it was the major force to divide us...And that too dividing us within the same religion in to bits and pieces ...

Ya..we have the credit for having multiculture background..Thumps up for that...

NITIN

Nitin...a clarification.

//What bothers me is "6400 castes"..

HOpe you understand what i am talking abt... //

I am not proud of the fact that there are 1000s of castes...I am proud of the fact that we all live in harmony inspite of it.

thanks for talking ur mind :)

//I am proud of the fact that we all live in harmony inspite of it.

Such statements are just the way to ignore all the caste politics..caste wars..untouchability..and unheard discrimination and unreported human rights cases & deaths.Such comments come from ppl who still learn history books of 5th grade and memorise that india is grt bcos of its diversity etc & stuff..

The sins committed bcos of this caste System is too much for us to make such remarks as u made...as you are a lawyer..you will be well read and be familiar with the problems with caste...

Still Educated South,North indians dont like to marry off their kids to other caste..and u say we live in harmony...??Harmony which comes with Discrimination based on caste is totally unaccepted.. the social structure is collapsed bcos of this caste division....read something more..digg more ..you will realise how we are taken aback bcos of this one word named CASTE.

Oops i got excited ...but still i mean it... :-)

Hey Nitin :)
sorry I have'nt replied to ur comment for so long. But I am happy I am interacting with u otherwise.
I hate the caste system , Nitin.
The message was just to say , inspite of the caste system, we guys are united.
But is it not the truth ? I dont care which caste who belongs.
thanks , Nitin :)
