Many people think of India as a sort of Eden, believing it
to have higher moral standards and a peaceful ‘diversity’ that Westerners
should look up to, when in reality, looking at the facts shows that India has
some of the worst culture clashing in the world.
To those that think of India as a country to be ‘looked up
to’ for their peaceable coexistence, then I would dearly like to know how we
should admire the mass slaughter of Muslims and Hindus that attacked each other
after the India’s independence in 1947, which amounted to more than all blacks
lynched in American history.
The reason certain individuals enjoy making distant places
out to be so much ‘better’ than here and filled with so many more ‘good’ people
is because when they make such statements, they not only sound more enlightened
than their listener(s), they make themselves out to be someone who would fit in
to this imaginary land of goodwill without doing more than say a few ‘noble’
words.
