my pic is hardly relevant to this topic. you're not all that, so quit judging other people, and for god sakes- quit being so damn ignorant.

[methodman535]

So these "Indians" that are in these lists and stats. How do they further break down. I see that you mentioned this is "about north Indians" just a bit ago, but I thought all the IT revolution was headquartered in South India. This 3rd richest guy is he south indian or north indian?

[Fatty4life]

yeah..all the names on that list DO NOT sound north indian.
