It is the second time I read the artcle of this particular gentleman in your website. I am an Indian and take great pride in the civilization and long lived culture of our country. We are pluralistic society and tolerent culture. India has not lost its culture or tradition under the long rules of Muslims and western (British) at the same time it has imbibed the positives elements from these cultures preserving our own ancient civilisation. The write is fully ignorant like many westerners about the core of our culture, way of life and thinking patern. The writer seems to say we have to be or the majority Hindus have to become fanatic and narrow minded and the whole Indians must despise other cultures and religions. This exactly the western style of cultural consciousness and national pride. They feel pride when they can look down upon others or be arrogant. Just take the example of the french regarding their laguage. If a foreigner ask for an information in France in English, the arrogant French will answer in Fernch language evenif he/she knows English. This is how they show their nation pride!. Shuld we Indians follow the same. We need no lessos from him. Joseph
