Er, it's more like we're remembering a very old one. For a while it became a popular catchphrase.
On another note I haven't seen any 'Indian-bashing'* going on, though I feel sanjivvohra might have received a couple of more candid replies than he expected.
* Yes it pains me to see the 'suggestion of racism' flag being hoist again!

Frankly,
I don't see a heck of a lot of difference between an Sri Lankan & an Indian. Both tend to be full of themselves! Especially if they got masters!
