2millionminutes,

If you can prove to the whole world that what I utterly said about Indians is not true, then I will consider you a great guy & deserves to be praised for being a good guy.

Im 100% sure about the 3 hard facts about Indians. Its a solid concrete truths. The world knows and acknowledges these bizaare Indian characters. Saying truths and not LIES are honored with utmost dignity, but Indians dont seem to respect that. It seems like LIES are normal in their daily lives and practice.

Creativity is an advantage we in the bay area have over the rest of the world. Not just India or China. We are in the hotbed of crazies, and those crazies are the ones creating new and amazing uses for technology, or all together new technologies. Education matters some... but not as much as the freedom and independence that is part of bay area culture. That is why India, China, Austin (US), RTP (US), are never going to overtake the bay area's Silicon Valley.

You might want to chat with the VC's on Sand Hill Road - I don't think they share your boundless confidence in Silicon Valley...oh, where 40% of the venture-backed start-ups are started by Indians. Imagine that...

How's that "Bay Area advantage" working out for California's budget? Oh...California is broke. Oops. Sorry for mentioning that, moistpup.

(1) iN INDIA or for Indians, being a LIAR or LYING is part of their culture and heritage, and thats a FACT!!

(2) INDIANS are like cockroaches, pulling eachother to fell down or pulling the one whos in the front or ahead and vice-versa, that is called INDIAN COCKROACHES MENTALITY and thats a FACT!!

(3) Indians are similar to cockroaches, they pull & gather together in a large groups. They love to be in hot temperatures. They are very loud hand eating talkative creatures & thats a FACT!!

I find this person's comments utterly offensive and repugnant. I considered deleting it.

However, I post the Comment only because Americans need to see first-hand how much ugly racism exists toward Indians.

I apologize for this person. They should be ashamed...but they are not.

i recon he is just another Pakistani.. who is no good at anything except showing abomination..

that is what they learn in pakistan in their schools and aswell from the pakistani media..

some organisation should go to pakistan tell people the facts.. we do not hate muslims.. there r more muslims in india than in pakistan.. and they are apparently in better condition than in pakistan..

such hatred is the main reason for promoted terrorism in india by pakistan.. peace..

Youtube really should ban any video that doesn't make sense. India overtake China? Hahahahahahaaa...

India should first think how to overtake Mexico, South Korea, Australia, Brazil, ... then think how to overtake Spain, Italy, Canada, Russia, ... then think how to overtake the UK, France, Germany, Japan, ... and only by then you have the right to think how to overtake China!!

In fact I visits India once in a year.. And every time I got there I feel like I have come here after a decade.. Cos there are so many changes taking place.. Thats the pace of growth there.. And another popular myth is that Indians do not speak English.. Well this might amuse many but India is the largest English speaking country in the world.. Kudos to the person who made this video.. We need someone who needs to remind people that the World is Changing..

[himynameisakshay]

I cannot agree with you any more, So many people have such mindsets that People in countries like India cant do anything, the world is changing and it's changing fast.

India's contribution to world GDP before the coming of colonial British was about 25%.... thts certainly too high...

25% was modest figure for Indian economy and was result of odds faced during 500 years of Muslim colonial rule.

Today, its struggling around 5%

Fact of the matter is India is natural No.1 in terms of economy for thousands of years since civilization arose on planet.

The present surge isn't surprising. Its just regaining lost glory.

Once India was powerful like US is today.

Finally!!! Someone out there is bringing people closer to the reality..I am an Indian born Canadian and I completely attest that the fact that the views of people in North America about India and China is so outdated by atleat 20 years.. People here still think that we guys ride elephants and every second person knows to perform a rope trick.. sigh !! But the fact is these 2 giants are growing at a humongous pace.. If there is a place to be today.. then it has to be either India or China..
