I just read this article, and the comments, and was worried that it may have put you off until I saw your reply:)

No reason why anyone has more right to a place than anyone else!

You are very right when you say …

“when one goes from one country to another, one is traveling away from something as much as one is traveling towards something”

There are all kinds of individuals and opinions in a society. I spent 3 years in S Korea and was really disappointed at the lack of social development there. I expected it to be a much more cosmopolitan country.

However living in another society does broaden one’s horizon’s of thinking. There are positives and negatives everywhere.

In the end I think the sum total of human life is a big 0.

Personally I’m no so good at geography that I’d notice if the border of a map on The Netherlands is off a few kilometers or not. But obviously in India’s case – few pixels off represents a LOT of kilometers.
The one map I have on here is not meant as a very good representation, merely an indication.

I’m sure it has way too few details for anybody to use it to find their way in India, or any of it’s neighboring countries. I’m sorry to hear that offends you.

India is a culture more than a country. It has very vast diverse culture, languages, climate, crop, people, religion etc also very diverse opinion.

thank you for your mention of my blog, for your support ragarding the malicious comments by “spirit” etc…

I will be back in India sometime between late August and October and yes I will return to my heart’s home in McleodGanj!
Maybe we will pass each other on the road!

Yes, Annie must be remembered for her battle for Indian independence. You know, I live in the American Southwest, and people come here from the east coast (where I originally came from for the express purpose of being assimilated into this culture) and still treat those who were born here, the Indians, the Mexicans, as if they are some below average, indigenous culture not worthy of their respect. Many tourists go through the Indian museums and such, and through the Indian markets with a “how quaint” attitude. If only they knew what I know, the richness that these cultures have brought to my life, and how these people embraced me in their (figurative and literal) arms when I came here. So it happens everywhere when there are people who think that they are better than everyone else, because of their skin color, their heritage, or just where they live. Thank you for engaging.
