Melting Pot and Salad Bowl.




Yesterday I was watching Charlie Rose interviewing Ramachandra Guha and Guha was explaining the main difference between the heterogeneity found in India and in the US. He was saying US is like a melting pot where several cultures mix and try to find a unique identity among themselves whereas India is like a salad bowl where all the cultures co-exist without losing any of their identity. Thought this was a cool analogy.
