Have you heard the "HF" equivalent at the end of the report......."GO AHEAD"............smacks of manual fine tuning HF during WW2 and not SSB..........but once again the intent is to impose who is controlling this conversation.
Some things will never change in some countries......but it does smack of immaturity.
Wow!! So much insight into Indians, you must have studied them all your life!!
Caste has nothing to do with it. People in India don't wear their caste on their sleeves!! It is not like someone can look at you and determine which caste/relegion you are from!! Some people just read up on caste system and try to attribute every action of Indians to caste!!
