Well, having lived in both Guyana and Trinidad , two countries which have a high demographic of Indians, all I can tell you is that the girls are hot.

I've never been to India, but I've been told the wealth is not equally distributed. It mostly goes to a few while the poor majority still struggle.

Soo just like here in America?

You have no idea about the concept of power distance. India is one of the worst modernized countries that has such a wide gap and in far greater numbers than the US. You can't even begin to compare poverty levels and living conditions of the lower class.

My perceptions are a bit warped as I've met very, very few nice Indians (our next door neighbors were Indian and some of the nicest people ever, but so far, the only exception) but I generally ignore it and chalk that as culture differences.

You can't even begin to compare poverty levels and living conditions of the lower class.

It's true that the poverty in India is worst than in America, But you can't speak for the homless here either. how do you know that they (Indian & American) lower class don't have any similarities in the way they percieve their existance? surely you don't think that a lower class person in India has it worse than any homless person in the states. Cause then you would be saying that there is no way that one is more miserable or unhappy than the other. there is just no way for you to speak on behalf of them unless you in fact have been in their shoes. I personally know someone who has been down that road, and that person has had a REALLY hard life I won't say what he went thru out of respect but trust me anyone in America can have it just as bad or even worse than someone in India, Vice Versa.

That's not true at all though. Homeless people in the States still have better living conditions than those in India as well as the US's numerous programs to support them through food stamps, welfare, shelters, etc. India doesn't have the same amount of government programs to assist that, it has nothing to do with how happy a person is or their thoughts and feelings.
