Intolerant India
#India or #indians (maybe one of the few races in the world which) consider its own culture as a shame, degraded & poisonous but at the same time do not have any hesitation to embrace #foreign #culture particularly the western culture as elegant and noteworthy.. this trend didn’t not happen in recent times but before also..

“Up to that time come
Thou open your mouth not
As a dog in ‘Dark’ barks
Even at the owner
Who feeds him all day”
I feel sorry for my generation and generations to come…
