That's why SGreans need to be aware "Indian" by anthropology definition is NOT a "race".
E.g. Northern Indians will be offended if SGreans lump them with "Bangla", which the former regard the later as "outcaste" tribes.

On the national policy POV, Modi is repeating the same fatal mistakes made by Bolehland on race/language/religious preferential treatment.
In country like India, this is an explosive subject.

Cannot drag on? must start somewhere.
