Blame it on Indians

First the Americans thought that we (as in Indians and Chinese) are pushing the food prices up, now they claim that we are gas-guzzlers and inflating the oil prices too! This has prompted me to think about what their next allegation will be? Here is a list of what I think that Georgy can think of ...

1) Indians and Chinese are pushing the price of Hair Oil up!!
Reason - Most Americans are anyway bald!! The only race with hair to look after is Indian and Chinese. The entire population of Indians with a full head is 100 million times that of America.

2) Indians are pushing the price of Cricketers up!!
Reason - Obviously, Indian Premier League. And NBA tall boys cannot tell a bail from the ball.

3) Indians and Chinese are pushing the cost of Visa fees up!
Reason - Admittedly, that is fast becoming the best and the most reliable source of Income for America and Euro! Higher the demand, dearer the Visas.

4) Chinese are pushing the price of Olympic torch up!!
Reason - With the number of protests and attempts to extinguish it, Mr Oly Torch has really started acting very pricey!

5) Indians are pushing the price of clothing up!!
Reason - same as food, The huge Indian middle class wants to dress up now, the naked, hungry street kid has given way to a brand conscious urban legend.

6) Indians are pushing the cost of slapping up!!
Reason - who can forget the Rs 30 Million Bhajji slap that landed on Sreesanth?

7) Indians are pushing the cost of Television and cable up!!
Reason - With the overwhelming number of Reality shows, T20 Cricket, Saas-bahu soaps, contests, etc, one TV set per household is just not practical.


I am sure there are many more such accusations, and most of them sound silly, but so did the originals such as Indians pushing the food and oil prices up.
