Indians beaten up in Germany

Please don't distort Japanese history to suit your arguments. One of the fundamental strengths throughout Japan's past and present has been its ethnic homogeneity. Japan is one of the most homogeneous countries of all, before the Meiji Restoration or after. Borrowing from Chinese or Indian cultures does not make it multicultural in the ethnogenic sense, as it increasingly the problem with Europe.

Europe's woes are not on account of India. It is, as ex-British PM Tony Blair said in one of his rare moments of brilliance, an ideological issue. Indians like you and me are only caught in the crossfire between Caucasia and Islam. In the great battleground of Europe, the latter obviously seems to be winning, much to the detriment of the security of Indians in Europe like those merchants, who become easy non-violent hate targets.

With regard to these Indians that were beaten up by East Germans, they may not exactly be deserving of all this sympathy. Having seen the way most Indians live for decades together in foreign countries clinging to our beloved "culture", and having no regard or adaptability whatsoever towards local languages, cultures or etiquettes, it is quite possible that these merchants got what they deserved. From what I read, there was a strong local sentiment against these guys.

If you love and respect a foreign culture, you will get love and respect in return. You travel around and do business with a really thick head, taking away from the local society and economy what is rightfully theirs, this is what you might expect, especially in the relatively poorer areas of Europe.

But what I am really surprised is at the kind of moderation in such forums. I can see some obviously vulgar language, disgusting posts and pointless arguments that don't go anywhere, that have been published above, while an earlier note which I had posted, and which was pretty insightful in my opinion, was rejected. Hope this one is accepted.
