Srid,

I'm not Indian - but...

Every other race/nation copies..

Western civilisation is built on inventing and copying...

Europe invented the printing press - what for? mass copying
of ideas. You can't get a more blatent copy machine than that.

Western civilisation could provide india with toilet paper
for every citizen in india simply from how much we photo-copy
each year.

If you have any issue with Indian behaviour, it shouldn't be about
duplication, just recognition.

Outside India, everybody knows Buddha, Gandhi, even Shah Rukh Khan.

Ok - answer this important question (I am Australian):

Which country has the Indian cricket team copied as a base
for it's spin bowling skills?

I bet you can't answer... Because they didn't copy anybody..

they worked it out themselves...
