Re: Re: Ridiculous stereotype by Prashant on Sep 22, 2011 10:11 AM then why are you generalizing all as misers... for your kind information they are not misers...they dont wish to waste on anything..including food...that does not mean they are misers.    Forward   |   Report abuse
Re: Re: Re: Ridiculous stereotype by Sagar on Sep 22, 2011 12:16 PM I think the author didn't call them as misers. Its just mentioned that "The joke within the state is that the people in Konkan are misers". The author has well explained the reasons behind them, being so called as misers. He has explained the ground realities nicely. He also has mentioned that "In their hearts, these folks are good people. You don't feel insecure while roaming alone on a vacant beach.". Since I myself belong to that community, I welcome what he has written.    Forward   |   Report abuse

Re: Ridiculous stereotype by Sandeep Parkhi on Sep 22, 2011 08:40 PM I have tried to explained the reasons behind them so called as "misers". I have never said that they are.    Forward   |   Report abuse
