Re: Vinay's advice

["Manoj Padki" <mpadki@tiac.net>]

dear Azhar,

as another soul about to become American citizen, let me assure you Vinay's
msg bugged me too. As to whether I want to be a "Proud Indian", I think I'd
sooner be a proud human being; being "indian" -- whatever that means -- is
distinctly second on my list. I have very warm feelings about India; I have
a lot of family in India; I want the best for India (which is why I am
writing this msg). But please don't confuse that with nationalism and being
a "Proud Indian."
