the effects were done by Industrial Light and Magic.

Ra One was the most expensive bollywood film thats why they were able to afford that kind of stuff.Most film do not have the budgets though

First thing i see in my head when i think about india is curry. Anyways i have a lot of indian friends and there very fun to be with. There's nothing wrong with there movies though just like hollywood for evey good movie there are at least 15 bad ones.

When I think of India my thoughts are (in no particular order):

Curry
Poor
People love to dance
Cute English accents
Apu Nahasapeemapetilon

snakenobi- are you a rich Indian (you have a computer/internet, after all xD)? How do you feel about all the poor in your country?

Imo based of living in India for like a month at a time sometimes, I think the average middle class or rich person does not care about poor people. For example many times I would see and ambulance trying to get through traffic and no one would care to move aside.

The Value of human being is far less then in other societies and it makes sense. There are so many people who have no real purpose in life there as there are sooo many people.


Also Ra on sucked, Don 2 had great action and a good story.


The women there are quite attractive but are hard to get especially the ones outside the big cities. When I was in India I always try to chat up some of the girls from the village and nearby villages. The attitude is if your not marrying me we are not having a relationship.

Girls there have an attitude that men are creeps and I think its true. Here, if there an attrative people look but make sure the girl does not notice. There people stare the girl down the whole time as she walks by.  I noticed that...

The honking almost made me go crazy. I slept on a roof in Mumbai for several months and after learning to fall asleep in that noise I am now COMPLETELY immune to any distraction when I want to sleep.

I could take a nap in the middle of the street if I wanted.

My honest and ill-informed opinion: dense, poor with a few very rich areas. Education is strong, and IT sector is growing quickly.

Firstly, it has been proven¹ that the tactile stimulus from the hands actually enhances the experience of eating. According to Ayurveda, digestion starts with the fingertips. As someone who has lived that lifestyle for several years I can personally attest to the fact that food tastes better when eaten with the hands.

Secondly, it's more hygienic than using forks/knives/spoons. Think about it, it's obvious.

Thirdly, it's more practical for whoever serves the food.

In what the layman calls Hindu culture everyone eats with the hands.

"In certain parts of India, even back in the days (50+ years back) people ate with spoons and dressed up in dress shirts and coats for any event. Always had tea when guests come over and have tea in the afternoon."

Good thing that's over. The British tried to impregnate the culture with their 'superiority' claims. One of the most underrated terrorist attacks in the history of the world. They should be ashamed.

Luckily Gandhi ended that.

The caste system is holding india back. Until this outdated system is thrown out a lot of people will miss out on great opportunities to make their lives better.

The so called nice india people that you see in other countries are generally from higher classes. Some a very stuck up by the way they talk (i.e they think they better then everyone), however the genuine ones are very nice people..

They bobble their heads when they are proud of something they say.

They play decent cricket lol. Except this tour of Australia in 2011/12.

But in general i'd say 80% of India is seen as very poor and exploited by a few people. From what we are lead to believe it is developing rapid as more jobs are being outsourced to india (call centers, IT jobs, even factories)
