I think the article is taking a fear mentality too far. There is no wide-spread hatred towards Indians. In Africa, Indians are the traders and shop and business owners who generally keep the economy humming, so the natives do resent them a bit. Plus Indians can be disriminatory against blacks in Africa (looking upon them as not being intelligent and of a lower culture). This is similar to the resentment against the white farmers in Zimbabwe and Zambia and against the Chinese who are moving there now.

I've not heard of any hatred against Indians in the Middle-East, just the standard Arab rules for foreign workers (i.e. your visa is dependent on you having a job. Fired? you leave within 15 days, or else go to jail.

in the US there is no anti-indian hatred at all, maybe some idiots think a Sikh is Osama, but not much else (when the author said that about the US that's when I knew he was on a fear pyschosis rant)

:) it is not a psychosis rant or what, but i do agree that i added a lot of sarcasm in those lines.. every country had done some mistakes in the past. Like india sent IPF to Srilanka to fight against LTTE etc., but those mistakes are more when it comes to US. US had put it’s finger in almost every corner of the world for some reason or the other. It interfered as many times as it can in other countries’ internal affairs and it is visible to the world that there are certain times when the world thought that UN is a dancing doll in US’s hands. There is no one to question US and most of the times the US governments think that what it is doing is right but in reality it is not.. that is the reason why US has made unwanted enemies during the years.. It is nothing to do with the common man in US, but the governments bought a bad image by paying huge amounts of money in the name of unwanted interference.

that is the reason why sometimes i feel though CANADA is just next to US, canada’s image in the world’s point of view is lot more better than US, UK or australia’s image..
