I Hate Fake People

To all wanna-be Americans aka north Indians, stop teasing at my accent just because I'm a south Indian. In case you haven't noticed, your accent is bad as ours. You pronounce "zero" as "jeero", "dozen" as "darjan". Yes, I can't properly pronounce the word "film". We have our own influences, so our accent will never be perfect. Be proud of we are, rather than hiding our weakness and teasing others. Yours loving, your co-worker who happened to be a south Indian.

I realise it is hardly my place to say, as it is not my culture. But it just seems so unfair, and archaic in this day and age... I really do feel for anyone forced into an arranged marriage. Ultimately it is going to be worse for the woman too given India's current levels of equality (or lack thereof).

Is the 'caste system' still a big thing over there?
