I find it hard to explain my beliefs and attitudes. I don’t attach myself to isms, political parties, or imaginary national lines. I do not believe in a god; nor do I deny an existence of a god. I was born in India, but I’ve never ever lived an extended amount of time there. I have an American passport, speak with an American accent, listen to jazz and HipHop, and am the product of the American public education system. I understand Hindi, but my speech is comical at best.

I am a foreigner in two countries: America and India. Here it is defined by my race and culture. In India it is defined by my accent, inexperience, and American influence.

I do believe that it is my right to comment on the politics and the society of both countries. My justification is simple; I believe that my opinion can make a difference, here and in India. It’s my right and duty to do all in my power to express my opinion.

-

I believe all government should be held accountable for its actions and inactions. No public servant is innocent when injustice occurs anywhere.

I believe Capitalism is exploitative. I believe Socialism has failed. Nationalism in all forms destroys people.

I do not have a real purpose to this blog. I was suggested to make a blog by my parents because they believe I have good insight into politics. I try to be logical and practical. I realize and acknowledge the differences between America and India. I would be kidding myself if I approached both countries in the same manner.

If you think I am unintelligent, you are sadly mistaken. I do whatever I can to find all the facts and perspectives. I believe every action has a reaction. Actions or inactions have consequences, and these consequences have immediate and lasting impressions on society.

Logic. It’s great, free, and you can find it at your favorite store.
