Hi everybody
An average person walking the streets of northern england doesnt have any idea about the lack of our econmomic or financial independence and over-reliance on World Bank and IMF. But he hates us for what he sees of us over in his country, ie. first by entering britain illegaly, unemployed, uneducated, good for nothing young boys of Pakistani origin doing nothing except creating law and order situations (rioting at times), encroaching upon their land, taking up their jobs, in general, becoming the new underbelly of british society. Nobody likes this type of ruffian attitude.
Interesting to note that the indians also used to be metted out similar behaviour from the locals around 15 years back, but since then that behavior has gradually turned positive. The reason is not just media projection, which i believe has a substantial impact, but mainly the reason lies in the way that most indians have got educateed, excelled in their respected fields and integrated themselves in the british society in a unique manner, that is, keeping their own culture alongwith adopting the local british customs. This is something which should be be studied very closely by our social scientists.
Nowadays we are the favorite whipping boys of the brits alongwith some other african nations just because of the way we have presented ourselves to them.
