Today In Perspective.



I was watching two news itmes on racial issues.One about the South African swimmer who is in India to participate in the CWG.He had called the Indian viewers monkeys.I was thinking why?I thinking we over react for every stroke unlike others.There is no silent appreciation taught to the Indian psyche.So in any public sports display you see adulations are loud.Especially so as Indians have strted getting an identity now.I had a forward from one of my friends where Macaulay had observed the Indian psyche.He says that he did not see a single beggar and the moral values are high. But the Indian do not think that their culture is valuable and so the British can rule them with ease.
The second iten was the video clip of an Indian being elctrocuted and dying being forwarded by the Australian police personnel in web sites to deal with Indian students in Australia.I beleive that racism and hatred exists everywhere and so does concern and human values in all nations.

Jayamala.
