My friend Captain Mridul Sharma was martyred by terrorists, in an ambush on New Year's Eve this year, Whole Hamirpur, Himachal Pradesh district was there for his funeral, but none of the national new papers or so called "independent Indian press" covered this event, except for some local newspapers. If it'd had some terrorists killed by army in Kashmir , every major news paper and media would have covered him to show Indian army atrocities especially human rights groups.

Rajeev, When is the last time you thought about racism in India. Is there a more racist culture than ours in the whole world. Aren't we all part of this rotten indian castocracy. ..Just kidding man.. Dude, let us fight againgst racism in the US.
Dear Author , give us a break !! Cricket between India & pakistan is always a great affair, especially if it is played after 15 years , than such petty issues. in our country of gods foreign women are raped left right & centre. foreigners are robbed of their things at that time where were you & your stupid articles ??? what you have written is experienced everywhere around the globe by people who leave their country & wish to settle abroad just to make a few bucks. well if you have taken that decision to leave ur country & come abroad be prepared to face such music aswell.
Powerful thing, this Nehruvian penalty. Rajeev can probably establish a statistical corelation between Nehru's last burp and Khem Singh's last gasp.
If Rajeev could only have written this column without any wild swipes at the remnants of the left, he would have done all of us an undiluted favour. Of course, and I hasten to add, he has done us a favour by bringing up the case in the first place. Wonder why the mainstream media doesn't find this newsworthy!
These are issues on which we need to unite, not to divide. We need to carry others with us, not to jump around with verbal Trishuls and say "we are more Indian than you leftist- pinkos". Are the government of the day and the ambassador(s) to the US pinkos? What will it take for the NRI community in the US to take up such cases aggressively? What is the best way for a reader in the US to do his or her bit? Is there something readers outside can do? Too many questions left unanswered.
Thank you for writing such good truth. Indians are worthless people and that is why more people pay attention to cricket than humiliation suffered by their own brothers, sisters, children. I hope somebody guides us properly.
"... and I wish the Indian government would take up the legal issue.However, we know full well that the Indian government will not do this"
Rajiv, this person is probably not even an Indian citizen. But what is even more shocking is that India has done NOTHING for the hundreds of thousands of victims of the Bhopal Holocaust that UCC inflicted on poor Indians & infact tried to scuttle their independent claims against this company by refusing to be a part of the claimants (the international law says that the govt must be a plaintiff, which the GOI refused to do). So the victims are still living on the original $300-$500 that each victim received (on paper) for a lifetime of suffering (and many lifetimes more as their children and grandkids were born with deformities).
Infact I had written to the famous Dateline NBC channel, who so much loves pitiable stories, asking them to make a program on the Bhopal Gas Holocaust and got back an automated mail saying that "We will consider this", about 2 years back (this was when Warren Anderson was found after hiding for some 10 years). Ofcourse, nothing happened, after all it is not in US's interests, even if thousands died elsewhere.
This article is in a very bad light and shows the entire America as bad. Very immature way to look at things. There no doubt is intolerance against Asians but that comprises a very small fragment of society. Saying that this article shows the "true picture of america" is very naive.
Just two days back an Australian tourist was stabbed in face by a taxi driver in Delhi. How willyou react if the entire west makes an issue of it and starts portraying that as the face of tourism in India as a whole......
