Dear Dr. Annette G Beck-Sickinger, I came across your refusal to admit an Indian male student for internship while reading today's newspaper.

How is it right to blame an entire nation for the fault of a few? I'm drawing a parallel between the two cases. Now, imagine how would a present day German feel if someone calls them a Nazi and blames them for the Holocaust?

This is exactly the same way we feel when you label all Indian males as rapists. And for your information, Indian males are not male chauvinists. For every rapist you may point out, I can show you hundred males who respect women and give them their due place. It's entirely your choice as to which one you choose to see.
You say India is the land of rapists. I say, India is the land of Mahatma Gandhi. Again, it's entirely up to you to decide which one you want to focus. I am really disappointed to see how an educated, cultured and refined intellectual like you can allow yourself to be influenced by bias and prejudice.

Do you honestly think you can stereotype an entire nation based on the actions of a few individuals?

India and Germany are both wonderful countries. We love your beer, cars, pretzel, bratwurst, sauerbraten among many other things. We admire and respect Max MÃ¼ller, Hermann Gundert and countless other scholars. When we look closer at each other, we realize our similarities.
