Talk: Indians Put Their Pride At Tim Cook's Feet?

Tim Cook, the CEO of Apple, arrived in India to open stores in Mumbai and Delhi. Madhuri Dixit spent time with him and fed him a Vada Pav. The entire Bollywood industry is behind him for the launch of the stores. Celebrities like AR Rahman also took time out to greet Tim Cook at his Mumbai store. A similar scene happened in Delhi, with people flocking for a glimpse of him.

This may not be big news for many, but it is a historic moment for others. There have been numerous posts and comments on social media that express both sides of the opinions. Here are a few:

"This is a historic phenomenon. It's the pride of India now. We have two Apple stores back to back. The arrival of Tim Cook speaks volumes about the power of Indian consumers," says a netizen.

A reply to this says, "What's the big deal? Apple needs Indian customers. India is the nation with the highest population today. We need not bend our knees for such American CEOs. There is nothing wrong in welcoming a foreign guest with respect, but at the same time, we need to have our self-pride."

A social media post reads - "Indians didn't come out of slavery to white-skinned people. The phenomenon is still lurking in the DNA. That's the reason a man touched Tim Cook's feet in Delhi. Another guy bent down so naturally like a slave at his feudal lord. We do too much of drama, forgetting ourselves."

Another post says, "It's a publicity stunt to some extent, and the rest is a senseless frenzy. The PR agencies in Mumbai and Delhi made their hungama and worked out a huge free publicity for the Apple CEO. Some media houses gave live coverage as well. But for Indian businessmen in the USA, everything comes for a price. Nothing is free there."

"India is vibrant with young population. They naturally tend towards something or someone popular worldwide. Apple products and its CEO are indeed popular for them. So they are showing off their fan moments. There is nothing to bother in this," wrote another netizen.

"Apple needs Indians than India needs Apple store. Our people have been buying Apple phones from different stores in India. Above that Tim Cook didn't set up any Apple manufacturing unit. It's just a store. Funny to see people going crazy", wrote another post. 

Overall, there are mixed responses to the people's reactions to Tim Cook's Indian tour for setting up stores. Whatever it is, he has grabbed big attention, made his fortune and moved on.

Nothing wrong in taking blessings from a sr according to our Indian culture! Cry babies will always cry not matter what

White people are the most superior race on the planet, we have to agree with that. They ruled the world and continue to rule the world through soft power and their influence on media, pop culture etc. Indians are one rung above the Africans when it comes to that, so we are one of the least powerful races in the world no doubt.

 

 

Situation would have been different if Kammas had all the power in the nation, look at how our visionary leader CBN got IT into India and esp Hyderabad. If not for him, none of us would be even able to use a laptop. The solution is for everyone to bow down to Kammas and hand them over power, CBN should have become PM and India would have been a superpower by now.

Peddalani gauravinchadam mana sampradaayam, Kaallu taakinanta maatraana digajaarinattu kaadu. If he is doing that to get some favour then that is definitely wrong, buttering ki respect ki teda undi.

gaaru is fine because it is our culture. I do not accept others. Peru pettina pilichina plural sense lo maatladithe maryada vuntadi. Ramu, idi cheyi ki Ramu, idi cheyandi ki difference vundi. 

And this is not my wish. It is a demand. Stop behaving enslaved.
