This is one of the best websites run by Indians. A website run by NRI’s in the U.S. I believe (not too sure); and the majority of contributors to this site are highly educated or at least highly intellectual Indians both in India and the U.S. There are also contributions from Americans and people from other parts of the world. These are doctors, professors, ex-diplomats, anthropologists, and professionals from many fields that contribute here.
There are over 50 topics and hundreds of articles relating to them. The best part is you don’t have to be an intellectual to browse this site, but if you are one; there is ample stuff for you. Remember however, that this site is about diversity and perspectives, and hence not all the things on this site are accurate, or I rather say are subjective. Topics on Civilizations, current affairs, politics and such are extremely interesting and informative. The biggest challenge for the reader however, will be to decide which arguments are appealing to him/her. I look at this site as a big brainstorming session. There are views from different walks of life, and most have some sort of truth in them.
There are other reasons why I like this website; the main reason being that there is no back stabbing, immature attacks on perceptions, and other controversies that usually exists in the Indian community (a very gross generalization of the Indians in the US at least.) The writers are very tolerant of others views for the most part, and are largely unbiased. There literally is something for everyone. I do not contribute to this site, but I do like it a lot. Some topics are a little futuristic in some ways, and are only for people with an open mind. As I said, there are many controversial topics, and some with extremely philosophical and brilliant writings. But there is also humor, cartoon, dohas, stories, sports, technology and many more. The simple question is: ARE YOU READY FOR THE FUN / CHALLENGE? If you are, you wont regret it one bit. Have a blast, and let me know how you liked it.
