“Madam, don't tell us about our culture. We're not zoo animals for your pleasure. Not the smiling native to accessorize your enlightenment. The simplicity and honesty you think you know is simply your eyes deceiving your brain. You see and hear nothing, and this guy" he says pointing to the owner, "doesn't give a fuck if we bring food from outside. We paid him for that privilege. If you could speak our language, you'd know this. if you knew our culture, you'd know respect is one currency, But at the end of the day, money talks. Finally, understand this one thing. India is our country, not yours. You are guests here.We are great hosts. But don't respect us in our own home.”
