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...
