To Asli Hindustani.. I don't see any issue here what usa is doing..it's a business after all,and you have no business in sayin hoodwink to anyone,after it's a question of choice..who are you to decide where people should go and what to talk..lets invest time in some creative work...
A clever money making move by the Americans because they know very few Indians visit the Tussauds in NYC since there are no wax statues of Bollywood guys in NYC museum. However, there is a huge segment of Indian population in the US which is a potential market untapped so far by the museum. Its a good move to hoodwink Indians to pay ~$30 for the museum. Stupid Indians will try to blabber about it while forgetting that Tussaud's has wax statues of several wannabes and newly acquired fame guys like Jonas brothers as well. Its no big deal that now some Indians too have their wax statues there.

it seems u have never been overseas or lived there. FYI over half a million Indians visit Museums in US and they dont need some statue to motivate them they go their for their kids sakes mostly as its part of the curriculum . US museums earn millions of dollars each year from revenues and grants from Feds they dont need some indians to make money get ur facts straight before blabbering

I totally agree; NYC Tussauds Wax museum has only 1 Indian : Gandhiji and so there is no fun for a desi person except Michael Jackson (every desi poses with him) ! There is also a gruesome section there with european violance shown. Other then that NYC musium is boring !!
