May I know how many years your grandmother was kept as a slave and abused ? Indian experienced it for 200+ years.
People (Americans dare I say ?) have no problems accepting blacks are behind whites on most development indices EVEN TODAY because of slavery and oppression, but somehow can't extend the same logic to former colonial countries like India.
Recent economic hardships of a particular class has threatened democracy and made a joke of fabled American institutions, despite high levels of education and wealth. But a country which was oppressed for centuries and is still reeling in poverty, for benefit of the Western world, now is in a position to help them with a little bit of help and you still can't extend a helping hand in good faith.
Maybe your grandmother would have been a bicycle if she had wheels, but you despite having a brain are a simpleton.
