An Indian Student
One of my friends has sent this via e-mail to me. It is funny and hilarious. But the topic is very much sensitive because there are lot of people is suffering. And above all those incidents are effecting India’s relation with that particular country. India has so many problems within and outside. Let’s just not create another problem by doing all this things. I don’t know which side to be blamed but there is always two side of a coin. You can’t clap by one hand. I can’t do any thing to other part but what I can do is request all those Indian students respect the culture and people where you are going. India is completely different country compared to Western world and America. There are certain things which may not be acceptable to that country but it is not an issue in India. In my opinion there should have an ‘intercultural training’ with respective country where our students are traveling. These students should be aware of ‘what to do’ and ‘what not to do’ before going there.
Anyway enjoy the story.
Here is one of the explanations for *Why Indian Students are attacked abroad.............?*
It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.
The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who said 'Give me Liberty, or give me Death'?"
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up:? ' Patrick Henry, 1775' he said.
'Very good! Who said 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?''
Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar. 'Abraham Lincoln, 1863' said Chandrasekhar.
The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about our historythan you do.'
She heard a loud whisper: 'F ___ the Indians,'
'Who said that?' she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up. 'General Custer, 1862.'
At that point, a student in the back said, 'I'm gonna puke.'
The teacher glares around and asks 'All right! Now, who said that?'Again, Chandrasekhar says, 'George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.'
Now furious, another student yells, 'Oh yeah? Suck this!'
Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, 'Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky,1997'
Now with almost mob hysteria someone said 'You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you.' Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, ' Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him, 2004.'
The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor, someone said, 'Oh shit, we're screwed!' And Chandrasekhar said quietly, 'I think it was Lehmann Brothers, September 4th, 2008'.
