This includes ex-bankers, ex-consultants and basically professionals who have experience in industry to bring about change in India from the top. He is also doing this at a national level.<br /><br />Ms. Mulchandani, while admittedly I have only read your critique of HK Sindhis and this, you do seem to have a knack for painting segments of populations with the same brush. <br />India's got the second largest population in the world and by proportion, one of the youngest - that's a mighty big brush.<br /><br />While you are perfectly entitled to an opinion, as a budding writer, one should be a little more careful in making broad-brush statements, especially when a little bit of research challenges the credibility of such statements.<br /><br />You wrote (in relation to the HK Sindhis post) that "any publicity is good publicity".<br /><br />That may be so. <br /><br />I guess you need to ask yourself, do you want to be a credible writer, or do you want to be the Rakhi Sawant of the Sindhi blogging world (i.e. famous for the wrong reasons)?<br /><br />p.s. No discredit to Rakhi Sawant - her "jo bhagwan nahi deta hai, woh doctor deta hai" is one of the best Indian TV lines of all time.VMnoreply@blogger.com
