The end of Indian thought ?

P.V.N. Rao was the PM when Indian was introduced to the MTV culture in a big way and some worried it woud erode our culture. P.V commented "if a culture is threatened by a few Tv channels, it is not worth holding on to ...". Indian thought definitely has the resiliece to withstand the pressures of the outside, though one wonders if it can stand the ignorance and igonomity of its own people. Francois's laments make one wonder why we as Indians don't see these things like they are. I firmly believe we will, though it might take us some time ... thousands of years of unquestioned acceptance of seeming authority (from the upper castes, muslims, brits, rogue politicians etc..) needs to be unshackled, but it surely will be.
