devilsinskirts 0 Report post Posted December 18, 2006 So what does Indian rappers call each other when they throw down? I'm absolutely dying to know. I understand, quite unequivocally, that they all call each other Gunga Din. So now you know. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thats just super, but it is uncomprehensible to anyone whom does not speak any form of the Indian language. What is the meaning (if it is directly translatable that is)?

cavallino 2 Report post Posted December 18, 2006 Thats just super, but it is uncomprehensible to anyone whom does not speak any form of the Indian language. What is the meaning (if it is directly translatable that is)? Quite obviously it means 'my dear fellow brown Indian rapper' though you may interpret it as 'my dear fellow mostly darker than most Africans fellow Indian rapper'.

Ctrl300 0 Report post Posted December 19, 2006 Quite obviously it means 'my dear fellow brown Indian rapper' though you may interpret it as 'my dear fellow mostly darker than most Africans fellow Indian rapper'. Its apparently a quote from a Kipling poem where Gunga Din is the anti hero and his master admits he is the better man, or something to that extent. It is also a term/racial slur used by Americans to describe anyone with an South-Asian heitage. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

monza gorilla 1 Report post Posted December 19, 2006 Here in the UK the term Gunga Din was routinely used to describe Indians. It was a long time ago (but recent enough that i can remember it) and has faded from use. It was not used in a derogatory way, although I suppose it may have caused some offence. I still have the record on a 78: Gunga Din, Gunga Din, Gunga Diiiiiin, You're a better man than I am Gunga Din!! Johnny Duncan and the Blue grass boys (1961). So I hope that clears things up.

Autumnpuma 0 Report post Posted December 21, 2006 Fuk Wiki! I'm telling you, maybe in the long past but not now......... I gotta chime in here. Bruce is 100% correct. I don't ever recall, in my 36 years of being an American, the term Gunga Din being used as a racist remark against Indians. Perhaps in isolated places that is true, but it isn't widespread. In this case, Wiki is wrong to attribute it to America. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In this case, Wiki is wrong to attribute it to America. not only that , imo compared to Europe America is far far better in treating "Indians".... Competence over inheritence is a motto the American corporations can be proud of ( i underline,"COMPARED TO EUROPE", which means the situation may not be perfect but certainly better "TODAY" compared to other parts ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
