Pitroda's controversial statement
Sam Pitroda, who is always in the headlines for his comments, said that in a diverse country like India, everyone lives together. Here, people from eastern India look like Chinese, people from western India look like Arabs and people from south India look like Africans. But despite this, we all live together.

We can maintain our hold on the country. India is a diverse country where people from the east look like Chinese, people from the west look like Arabs, people from the north look like whites and maybe people from the south look like Africans.
