Interesting cultural difference

Yesterday, I happen to learn a very interesting cultural difference between western and eastern people. One colleague of mine had done a small mistake and he hails from my country India. Our manager was really angry about the mistake. And he was really vocal in making his assertion.

Demand for separate state has intensified from last 10 years and every party in Andra Pradesh have supported the cause to get the votes. But none of the parties were willing to implement the same. And since there were lot of opposition in the center and at the state level, the creation of separate state never happened and TSR party who's main agenda was to create separate state was waiting for any opportinuity. In year 2008, things changed drastically, congress got full majority in both center and in the Andra assembly polls. YSR who was not in favour of separate state, he controlled all this opposition and TSR which had lost many seats was not able to do any thing. But in year 2009 YSR died in a unfortunate tragic event.
