India

The Peasant and His Well-To-Do Neighbour

Last November, I was in India (Ahmedabad exactly) for an environment conference. Spending ten whole days in that sub-continent was enough to make me realize that I am actually very lucky to be a Malaysia. Because

i. no one can look down upon me just because I am of "lower" caste
ii. i am given every opportunity to better myself at all times
iii. no matter how lousy Malaysian-born Indians are, they are better in many ways as compared to the sub-Continent Indians

In one word, India is the Land of Survival Of The Fittest.

Thank you. I'd rather be send to Africa.
