As to my success here I cannot say much as yet: the Indians seem generally kind, and well-disposed towards me, and are mostly very attentive to my instructions, and seem willing to be taught further.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I have a pretty good knowledge of the Indian world by virtue of living on several different reservations and being exposed to several different cultures and languages.
I am an Indian to the core.
I'm very attracted to Indians.
I have been particularly struck with the overwhelming evidence which is given as to the fitness of the natives of India for high offices and employments.
We are Indians, firstly and lastly.
As soon as I arrived in the Indies, in the first island which I found, I took some of the natives by force, in order that they might learn and might give me information of whatever there is in these parts. And so it was that they soon understood us, and we them, either by speech or by signs, and they have been very serviceable.
The Indians have such strong traditions and aesthetics, and the people are beautiful, as are their goods.
I've learned that for Indian people, the opportunity for us to succeed is very slim. So acting was a great tool for that. And in the process of learning about my culture, I've learned how to connect myself again to my ancestors.
I think that the poorest of the poor... look up to wealthy and successful Indians with some degree of respect and pride.
What strikes me every single time is that the aspirations of Indians are unique and unparalleled. They're very demanding, regardless of background.
