I'd be a cultural chauvinist if I went around telling everyone how America is awesome and can do no wrong. I actually spend a lot of time complaining about my own country's problems, so I don't really understand this accusation.
It would be ironic if I were on here denying the problems that my own country faces, while commenting on India's. But as I said, I spend a lot of time talking about that as well, so irony doesn't make sense either.
What is the context of Indian culture that makes institutional corruption, gender / class discrimination, and the demonization of rape victims OK? Once again, please keep in mind that I'm not talking about all of India, just the corrupt government institutions and wealthy individuals that are comfortable living in the middle ages.
I don't see why this is such a controversial view, if you made a comment about corruption in America, I'd be more inclined to agree with you than to act like my personal honor has been besmirched because my country isn't perfect.
