The empire strikes… out

Working in a multicultural environment when some of the other cultures are openly hostile, offers a complete overhaul of perspective. Shaken out of a pseudo-Gandhian apathy that Indians often espouse as an excuse not to stand up for their rightful place in a global scenario, one becomes aware of subtle conditioning. Like this infuriating complex I have when dealing with whites. I’m always on the backfoot. How many Indians have whites reporting to them? I should be gloating, but I am strangely uncomfortable. They ruled us for years, so now why is the empire hesitant to strike back?
