Well Said Sir, Asian culture and hospitality,

The entire world is not "Western-Centric", there are numerous cultures all about & around this globe and not everybody has to kowtow to Western values or beliefs... so shove it up somewhere... other countries have their own stories, history to share with others.

Great answer. It is condescending for those who know nothing to question those who know something.

Questions to BBC:
Why do Brits kiss hand of Queen of England ??
Why do Brits bow to King & Queen of England ??

[jeetendraparmar]

The best response to such a question is:

"Your leaders provide weapons, arms, ammunitions to warring countries so that there is more destruction, more loss of human lives; whereas our leaders provide some comfort, some consolation, some sage piece of advice..."
