     I do not think you've exaggerated even a bit....
     I was also very upset reading the recent articles that your
     points were refreshing and simple great. I was really moved.

  An American here at my university, who is married to
  an Indian female once said he used always envy his wife's prowess
  in identifying the difference or similarity between any two things easily(This
  was when he did not have enough Indian contacts) But having met enough Indian
  students and people he says It is bare truth that his wife having been brought
  up in an atmosphere of utmost diversity has become used to look at person's
  caste, language, religion as the first step in meeting somebody. It is not
  her "prowess" but it is her narrow-mindedness. I was embarassed to hear 
  from him say India is not unity in diversity but disunity in diversity....

  kulamannnadi "mana kantiki masake" nani telusule andariki
  kaani... O kotha manishini kalisina konnallaki manam telusukovalani
  kuthuhala padedi vari bhasha, kulam, matham, so on and so forth...
  It is a bare truth. Ivi anni manusyulani kalapadaniki (huh Unity 
  in Diversity..) oka means, ani anukune vadini chaala roojalu pch.... 

  John Higgins, the american born carnatic musician in his book
  "India-My perspective" writes, "In this great country, there are so   
  much diversity,... diversity that has done as much good and harm...
  harm because people of various groups or subgroups of Hinduism belonging to 
  various castes, creeds, languages are nothing but sets of insecure masses,
  always trying to identify themselves with a group of same sense of insecurity 
  to mask their insecure feelings... "
