New guy (Indian-looking) at my workplace asked me if I was from India. I said yes. He said he was Indian too. He asked me from where I was. I said Mumbai. I asked where in India he was from. He said Kashmir. I asked where in Kashmir. he said Srinagar.
Guy is very nice, and I can see by teh way he talks that he is thoroughly Indian. If he had not told me he was from Srinagar, I would never have guessed.
We began talking in English, but later he said asked if I knew Hindi. He said ,"Fir to Hindi mein baat karein, log bhi dekh saken koi Bharatiya hain yahan" (Then lets talk in Hindi, let the people see there is someone Bharatiya here).
I was very happy he used "Bharatiya". By the way he is Muslim.
