Accomplishments are fantastic however I think – “being” who we turn out to be is always best however harder to review. I would like to think that coming from Poland and living here, that I have become a significantly more appreciative of all things – large, little and inconsequential. I endeavor not to take any situation for granted.

I’m coming to this discussion too late for anyone to see my comment but I’ll put it up anyway: in Malaysia, lots of Chinese people actually study (and excel at) Bharatanatyam. One of our best-known young dancers, Mavin Khoo, is half Chinese and half Indian (a combination known as Chindian in Malaysia/Singapore, where Indian-Chinese intermarriages are common enough to be statistically significant). And one of our veteran teachers is Ramli Ibrahim, who is Malay but has probably done more for Bharatanatyam than any other single figure in the country. For those interested in cross-pollination with old, deep roots, there’s really no better region to check out.

I am not going to even bother to take sides on the wearing of saris. But IndianBoy needs to get a clue when it comes to comparing blog entries. The fuss over the Tharoor thing was over wearing saris regularly. The Chinese thing was over how cute it is to see some Chinese lady and her daughter in a sari and teaching Bhartnatyam. I doubt that means the same people who were not pleased with Tharoor’s comments were wanting this Chinese lady to wear a sari on a regular basis to do her chores or visit a friend.

IndianBoy, how is it racist? Also, sounds like a lot of pent up rage. What’s so wrong with bhangra nights, anyway?

The title of this topic sounds racist – Hindi chini behen behen ???? oh ya and another thing – it isnt the big deal they learn these things u see, the foriegners, you see it takes our American Immigrant brothers(and sisters) to learn what they miss in India going there – and and culturally steal our culture – reffering to so called bhangra nights – wearing sari is like a curse here and against womens rights in India, our women if said to be traiditional: say we men are chauvanists, the Shashi Taroor incident on Times of India Newspaper. We cannot advise our ladies to wear traditional clothes, they prefer jeans over sari, women over men!!!! and booze and ………. Its acceptable. and when a chinese or a forigner embrace Indian culture its a big deal

No, it wasn't. I actually never read that thread. It happens. I had read every comment on this site for over two years, until late last year, when that became impossible, or I would've remembered it.

If it's that important to you to establish that I don't deserve the one comment which appreciated my attempt at being clever, then by all means, everybody, listen up: I wasn't the first to write those words on this site.

Both China and India face female deficits in their populations - in each case there is about a 6% excess of males
Psst! *whisper: it's because they kill their girls! *

This is a common misleading intuition. Having an unbalanced gender ratio need not necessarily be the result of killing/aborting females. For instance: If families, on the average are more likely to stop having kids after a male is born than after a female (to try for a possible male in the future), it is easy to prove that this would result in a clear gender imbalance inspite of each birth being a perfectly fair coin toss in terms of the probability of being male or female.
