While we (men of indian persuasion and proud of it) will happily admit to some of your scarcastic generalisations, your comments presume, item number 7 for instance, is a bad thing. By the way my and your mother are women!! So yes our mothers trained us well and we are proud of it.

And by the way, when finally we come home to roost, the 37 interviewees are part of the show, we would have long since exhausted our natural resouces and grown tired of the pursuit of willing women.

So come on in, marry the indian men, we’ll look after you allright, along with the others, part time, that we still cherish and care for.

And oh, do join us in some meaningful intellectual conversation once, if, you can prise yourself away from the lip gloss and the flashy clothes.

Most, not all, Indian men, both rural and mostly urban, are confused, insecure, pathetic, supremely lazy and cowardly; used to being pandered to by Mummmmy.

And of course most still believe that their Mummmyji’s are virgins. Idiots.

If I ever do marry an Indian man, he jolly well give ME a huge dowry.

( Important - I know a few excellent Indian guys who are v. courteous and wonderful. They are the 1& exceptions to the above rules!)

I just loved the 2nd one

The fact is like India, Indian male is typecast. India is all about cows, snake charmers (I havent seen one show in my whole life), dirty streets. That description of oriental India make us all cringe. Yes, we all know its partly ture, but all of us want to desperately show that the part that is untrue and not reflective of a modern India. We all want India to break out of the image mould.

Bashing the Indian male smacks of similar oriential mindset. Casting us as women beating, paan chewing, mother obsesssing, lazy louts is fashionable. Is it true? well partly - and that part is slowly vanishing. Please try, if you are unmarried, to ask for a dowry in the modern Indian marriage market and you will know how much India has moved on from the image you protray above.

The Indian female, I must admit, get the better part of the bargain. She is typecast of as the beautiful, submissive, clever, deft woman who is forever under the jackboot of the Indian male. Its not fashionable to call the spade a spade and point out the shortcomings of the Indian female. Calling the Indian female a nagging, unsophisticated dosent help readership, does it? But hey, you can do the same to the Indian male.

The western interaction with Indian male has been going on for much longer and hence opinions have been formed - some positive and others negative. The Indian female has not yet come under the scanner as yet.
