We Indians have made it our destiny to be spineless. Not only has this been proved time and again with our encounters with Pakistan, but also recently, when one of our leaders was ill-treated by Australian cricket players after they played one of the matches and were being given the trophy.
Why do we tend to do this? Being forgiving is good, but is it good to be spineless?
We treat our guests like God and this cannot be more profoundly stated than in a sanskrit shloka "Atithi devo bhava" and which means Guest is God. It is no secret that us Indians are treated differently by the white skinned people. It happens to us in their country, whether it be England, Australia or America. But should we take insults on our own land by our own guests?
I strongly condemn their actions and demand and apology....We will never let anyone put us down......

This is an incident that will force me to react albeit stronger than usual...
India and Indians have been taken for granted so much that we seem to have forgotten the art of asserting ourselves for what we stand and what we are worth.
Yesterday, it was Sharad Pawar. Tomorrow, it could be one of us.
