Oprah Winfrey sucks; I mean, how can she say that most Indians eat with hands still. She is rude, she is snobbish, arrogant, pretentious......and the rest of the words are censored (As i ve not found out their meanings yet). Alright, i will give the background of what happened, for those of you, who don't have as much time to waste as i do;
Oprah winfrey is an American media proprietor, talk show host, actress, producer, and philanthropist (Wiki's definition of her). During her visit to India she commented, rather obnoxiously(why should this word come here?) that Indians still use hands to eat. This has become the latest fodder for the starving media, that even Anna Hazare and his antics have taken a back seat.
Two days ago, i read an article from a friend about how Americans still ask insane questions like, "Do you travel in a bullock cart?", "Do you study under moon light?", "Do you still live with the same husband?"; You get the drift right? Questions, thinking that we live in the times of snake charmers. My friend looked hurt, and there are many who has commented on that article, who are deeply hurt too!
My question is, what if? what if Oprah winfrey thinks we eat with hands? Let her even think we eat using our legs. What if, Americans think we don't understand English? what if American's think we are still in the palaeolithic age? Is it going to change the way we live? Or will it at least change the way they think? even if, so what?
I mean, why should we be hurt if some American, sitting some where, thinks some non sense, about our country? If you think some things need to be changed in our country, jolly good change them; Else just shut up! Whining about what others think, worse still, using filthy language to describe them, does not reflect us in good light!
And by the way who is Oprah Winfrey after all?
