Interpol says so!

What amazed me was a news item that says that about 650 Indians have been issued with 'red alert' notices by the organisation over a period of the last five years. Of these, 25% of the cases are related to over speeding and traffic accidents. I can understand that it could be out of sheer ignorance about the existent rules on the part of the perpetrators but we, Indians seem to have a penchant for getting into trouble.

The other cases include dowry deaths and frauds.

In a similar vein, I remember having read an article on the 'attitude of Indians' working in world organisations. Indians, more often than not, have a 'KUPD'(Kiss Up Piss Down) syndrome. They play up to their superiors unabashedly while being very demanding/ harsh on their subordinates. I would rather take this observation with a pinch of salt, though.

But we, Indians need to take note of others' sensitivities and the prevalent customs while travelling abroad for the sake of their own safety and acceptance!
