Like I said in the post, I was surprised to see it on the main flagstaff but nevertheless enjoyed seeing the Tricolour fluttering. Having said that, I guess I can understand the anger in the average American's comments in response to Hartford Courant's article. I would believe that letting the Indian American community celebrate India's independence day in the Capitol grounds with proclamations presented and read out by officials like the Mayor was honour enough for the community. Hoisting the Indian flag on an official govt building in America was a surprise for Indians but a shock for most Americans (including a few colleagues of mine who I told this about). Connecting this to outsourcing seems natural as India has become synonymous with outsourcing but it should be noted that this was largely the effort of the Indian American community - meaning people who have been in the US for scores of years, running businesses in America, paying American taxes and are American citizens for the most part, and some of whom have also lost their jobs to the outsourcing phenomenon.

As long as I can remember the sacrifice of those men and women so that future generations could take India to greater heights; and as long as I get goose bumps when singing the National Anthem, I guess I can absolve myself of the hypocrisy charge.
