    Ne pas accepter le regard extérieur, refuser la différence, refuser la perception de sa culture par l’autre et surtout ne pas prendre le temps d’expliquer les erreurs, de corriger et d’éduquer. Je retourne donc à  cette personne les adjectifs qu’elle emploie contre toi: ignorant, arrogant, haineux et je m’arrête là , pour, contrairement à  elle, rester poli et faire preuve d’un minimum d’intelligence.

    We usually think this kind of ignorance, intolerance and lack of intercultural understanding is exclusively a European/Western civilisation/Imperialistic/ trait. I guess comments like this prove us wrong.

    No culture is impenetrable or benefits by trying to be that way. Only a fool thinks that its a bad idea to learn.

    You have done something well – you can see this from the passion you have elicited. Tend to agree though a bit with the thrust of this little attack, that you seem/ are too young to judge, as you’d agree as well I guess. On the other hand, yea, there is color in your writing, contrast, so everything is well actually. Best,

    When I visited India with my father some years ago, it wasn’t hard to discern a certain smugness (from happily few folks) over the ‘degenerate Westerner’ (me). Invariably the questions would come about ‘x’ morally ambiguous practice, or ‘y’ example of lack of mental discipline. This kind of carping is rare, but it poisons the well, so to speak. It’s one thing to absorb the subtle glories and nuances of a culture, and another thing entirely to have it verbally inflicted on you as if you were ‘too ignorant and arrogant’ to understand. Learning and growing is hard enough. Go to India, because you want to, because it interests you, because you care. Let this mope solve his/her own hangups.

    Best ignored! There’s always some ignoramus hanging around the corner, with absolutely nothing to do but write hate mail. He’ll probably stew in his own hate and hopefully evaporate from the face of this earth. Don’t forget to inform me when you come :) I might take some French lessons in the meanwhile.
