IF SOMEONE CAN PASS THIS MESSAGE TO SHILPA, I'D BE OBLIGED. IF THE QUEEN REALLY WANTS TO MEET SHILPA TO SHOW THAT THEY ARE NOT RACISTS OR CONSIDER THEMSELVES SUPERIOR TO DARK SKINNED INDIANS, THEN WE SHOULD REQUEST THEM TO RETURN INDIA'S KOHINOOR DIAMOND BACK TO THE PRESIDENT OF INDIA AS A GESTURE OF GOODWILL. FOR MANY YEARS THEY EXPLOITED OUR COUNTRY AND NOW WE FACE SUCH NEW FORMS OF OPPRESSIONS (RACISM), THE QUEEN SHOULD TAKE SOME BOLD STEPS AND LEAD BY EXAMPLE IF THERE'S REALLY SINCERE AND IF IT'S NOT JUST AND EYE-WASH FOR THE WORLD

Ok forget shilpa's publicity
Whereever you live, live like a brave indian and not like a coward, we respect all visitors to india and our govt. too. Then why not indians in other countries be given the same treatment.

Ya tats why so many tourists are raped in bombay and delhi ,we basically so complexed biut white skins that we try to make it an issue.
racism is not the one which had happened in UK Celebrity Big Brother, its what's happening in streets of India day by day, on the corporate world, in the restaurant, bus, train, plane, universities, hospitals....
What happened to shilpa is just a petty girl fight, and Shilpa interpreted it as racism and made her every move sensational. There is nothing racist about telling the truth.
It%u2019s really witty to watch such happening on TV. But the reality is that the ladies in her team are much concerned abt her growing fame in the show. So being envy had started showing their inside by throwing away such hard words. If someone tends to call you %u2018dog%u2019 you can do any of this 2 things. 1. Just call back them %u2018pig%u2019 r 'monkey' 2. Just leave it away as humans are nothing to do with pigs that tend to hit at.
Moreover we should realize that we are most civilized people in this World to live up. So can move away when such creatures act at you.

I think if British gals indeed called her a dog, as a shoodra is called by the egoless brahmins:) then I think Shilpa should be allowed to enter this studio house only through the back door, just like dalits enter Temples in India:) see, skin color baby
Jade told Shilpa to "Go back to the slums". Danielle told Shilpa "Go back home". Jo added in front of Shilpa: "That's made me feel better" The 31-year-old has been described as a "dog", faced complaints after touching other housemates' food, asked if she lives in a "shack" and called "the Indian". Channel 4 has encouraged racist behaviour by not evicting the bullying housemates.
We believe she has showed the utmost dignity and are very proud of her. What these women have been saying to her is very wrong.

That kind of behaviour happens more in India among the fellow citizens...go to Gujarat for example from Punjab or from North eastern state to Delhi or from UP to Chennai or from Calcutta to western regions...you will find millions of such characters.....did you ever think of it?If our fellow citizens do not get their due respect in their own country why do you expect outsiders will let you dance on their head?

this is a very realistic comment and i agree to what you have said. There is more racism inside india, so why cry out for equality abroad? as such, shilpa also had her fair share of arrogance that is why she became the victim of bullying stuff.
I am in UK currently and I am amazed to see all the newspapers and television covering nothing but the shilpa episode. I have been hooked to the programme but hardly see anything racist happening... its just petty fights. Honestly, our lady from India is also not saintly. She picked up a stupid fight over a checken cube yesterday.. she's more dignified though than the other 3 women squabbling with her. But racism... there's more on the streets in UK than on Big Brother really..

Well my dear you said this because you are use to it. Due to people like you indian we are also facing such talks.
You are now use to such comments because you want to live in UK. My dear its better to come back rather than listening to such comments.
Think on it and come back or if you don't come back then i think due to people like you we are also having problem.

Mr. Samvit DDurga, you have no clue what racism in UK is like, hence ur remark. Come here and face it. then u will realise why the uproar. Hopefully through this episode, people will realise how racist British people are still against Indians and asians in general.
