- Out of the 25-30 clients I’ve had for my business over the last 6 years. Of them, 4 were Indians in the tech sphere and all of them have tried to rip me off.toemaas
- So I would say from personal, consistent, experience that there is definitely a cut throat attitude and a bit of sociopathy towards people they need help from.toemaas

- you don't think India enjoys a competitive advantage compared to the rest of the world in part due to colonization?hotroddy
