Dear all
An American visited India and went back to America
Where he met his Indian friend who asked him
How did u find my Country
The American said it is a great country
With solid ancient history
And immensely rich with natural resources.
The Indian friend then asked.
How did u find Indians??
Indians??
Who Indians??
I didn't find or met a single Indian there in India.
What nonsense??
Who else could u meet in India then??
The American said..
In Kashmir, I met a Kashmiri
In Punjab, a Punjabi
In Bihar, Maharastra, Rajasthan, Bengal, Tamil Nadu, Kerala:
Bihari, Marathi, Marwadi, Bengali, Tamil, Malayali
Then I met
A Hindu,
A Muslim,
A Christian,
A Jain,
A Buddhist
And many, many, many more
But not a single Indian did I meet
Think it over! This is how outsiders perceive us! It is a joke but then it is not a joke!
Let us all start by becoming INDIANS first and foremost!

I think this has to do with where u r when the question about u'r origins is asked. I am sure if u ask an Indian outside India about where he is from he would say he is an Indian. But if the same question is asked to him inside India then he would come out with his region/state.
The American in the story (if its a real one) would behave/answer the same way if he was asked the question about his origins inside America.
