What we have observed that Indians are good in paper or white collared jobs. Work involving physical labour are generally seen as a menial job. Indians have excelled in field of IT; Poem Writing (R N Tagore); Economics Study (Amartya Sen); Beauty Contests (Susmita Sen; Aishwarya etc.)
Our labouers are toiling hard inside nation (from Bihar to fields in Punjab or Technicians; Electricians in Gulf). Indians think that "all good things" are to be done by others not them. They say and come together in showing solidarity by lighting candles before media cameras but not when fighting to terrorism; vandalism; corruption.
The intellectual class just sits in Offices and Rooms and gives sermons. Their own wards never come forward to join para-military or military.
They writes blogs; articles and offers press releases against the present state of rampant corruption but when the time comes to contest polls they all don't come forward to file nominations or they don't come on road to curse the corrupt goon politicians and deter them from being elected.
