“Don’t mess with me” clearly defines new India’s attitude to the world outside. Gone are the days, when Bharat waasis could accept ‘bad manners’ in the name of politeness but not anymore. In fact, they believe in giving back to them in the same coin. Agreed there has been a call of truce between the Aussie and Indian cricket captains on Monday but everyone has understood that you can’t take India for a ride.
Not going too much in the past, we can find strong evidence of the change occurred in the behaviorial pattern of Indians. Shilpa Shetty’s stay at Big Brother’s house in UK and subsequent ‘ill-treatment’ by fellow housemate Jade Goody raised an extremely loud support from everyone, including Londoneers. Shetty’s standing for her roots made everyone forget the ‘good’ in Goody (if there was any). Buzz is that Goody had to undergo rehabilitation to overcome the trauma of global hate. Even Harbhajan Singh’s reaction at the Sydney Test will steer anyone from luring insinuations at their Indian counterparts in the future. And for those who still do, well they can try join Sreesanth in his famous tribal dance.
