Global South was the fault of the Americans

 1. Why people disrespected the United States:

It was because Supriya Paul got away way too easy. No one asked about her antecedents, no one queried why her well-being was more important than Anjali's, no one asked that if she was the Goddess of the Global South, one who couldn't handle the simplest of gadgets, why the Global South should supply STEM professionals to the US.

Tough questions should have been asked at every Asian country where the US had its embassies, why exactly Moscow wanted the Global South goddess to be someone who foraged for information among Kolkata wives and then expect respect, accolade and increasing prominence for Asian scientists and engineers in the US.

These questions were not asked by the Americans, the overbearing attitude of the NRIs and IITians was their fault. Antara didn't study STEM was being discussed across the world, why was Supriya Paul's lack of education or refinement not a factor? Why were IITians not judged by her standards, someone who studied at Nungi Balika Vidyalaya? 

Why were IITians not shunted to low-grade jobs in the US, something that destroyed their morale and sent them back to India?

2. Why people disrespected Austria:

No one liked those who sulked for centuries. All kinds of theories and myths abounded, all of the Austrian companies were Tagore shops, the Austrians cut deals merely to hold their territory. It seemed to Antara that close association with the Tagores and the Indian trading class had turned the Austrians into people without skills. If they wanted to choose Nazism or an AAP-like formation to draw attention to itself, so be it. Antara found Austria to be an embarrassing burden but her work kept throwing up references to it, must be some western agencies' obsession. 

3. Supriya Paul and Antara were held to different standards would be Antara's approach to the legit lease. The US Govt deliberately promoted and celebrated Nazism, no wonder the Global South was thriving in the US. Every single aspect of Nazi ideology that had brought the Global South to such an astounding pinnacle of achievement would be analysed, then one would be able to distinguish who enjoyed science and engineering and who was merely posing.
