An online fight between two billionaires over how India should view its past has stirred a row on social media, with Indian-origin tech entrepreneurs Sabeer Bhatia and Sridhar Vembu clashing after Vembu compared Bhatia’s remarks to asking Jews to “appreciate” the Holocaust.
The row began after Bhatia, the Indian-American co-founder of Hotmail, posted a message urging Indians to acknowledge both the positive and negative parts of the country’s history rather than remain “trapped in endless battles over the past”.
