Kanika Datta: Natural-born biases | Business Standard
World citizen
This issue was first raised in Parliament and later the ‘gossip’ was
enjoyed by some idle mailers. The clarification provided by Rajan should have
closed the speculation. We are forgetting that such uninformed allegations will
affect the prestige of Indians as a community. We have done enough harm to the
reputation of several celebrities of Indian origin in various walks of life by
first ‘identifying’ them as Indian and then hounding them. World citizens like
Dr Rajan may take it in their stride and take time to explain the real
position. But this has an impact on the Indians whom we call ‘NRIs’ who are
holding high positions abroad to the mason or tailor from Kerala or Bihar who
has just landed in UAE for employment.
Now that Kanika has covered all important dimensions of the issue, let us hope we will not dig further and divert the attention of Rajan from his present assignment.
