@Pinto if they gave awards for good things from this region then you would cry foul. This saying ...you can please some of the people some of the time but you can never please all the people all the tim!. applies to all the constant critics like you.
@Pinto: Not quite right. It's not about giving bad images to countries. It's about establishing an image for themselves that they want. It's like people who do charity work just to bring it up in conversations to elevate themselves.
They give awards only to creates bad image of countries from south asia.they'll never highlight good things from this region
