I was called by an Indian like ten years ago, trying to convince me to follow some script obviously made for Windows when at the time I already hadn’t a Windows box for quite some time. Fun moment, in that specific case.
Probably the funniest thing here is that this call reached me despite the fact that I am French, living in France. And so I really wonder how they ended up calling me. I mean, chance I would understand some English speaker with an Indian accent (I like how it sounds, but it’s definitely an additional difficulty as a non-native).
I read here and there how extortion of old USA citizens by some organized Indian citizens is really a thing. To my mind the main issue at stake is that we have global level communication facilities, extremely high wealth disparities at world scale, and no compelling global social endeavor to reach an harmonization of human quality of life for everyone. I don’t mean the latter is on the official agenda of most countries out there either, but at global scale it’s obviously even worst.
With all that in mind, blaming a whole nation for the illegitimate actions of some minority in the country, all the more when the international geopolitical context itself is all but fair, is probably not going to solve any issue.
