Francois makes a few good statements, eg: "Yet, if you have a look at most of the mainstream English-speaking Indian magazines and newspapers today, you will notice that all their cover stories deal with Western concepts, that they are looking at India from a Western point of view, such as talking about 'New Age' spirituality. As if spirituality is new to India!" --------- AMEN!!!
But, we already have had enough of this fundamentalist thoughts running aournd the country and we don't want another one to point it out. We call ourselves as a republic due to our heritage and culture being so diverse, and an Indian is an Indian no matter what his/her religion is. So, are you trying to say that the minority cannot hold high level positions in the government? Or, are you trying to make yourself a name out of this? Whatever it is we did not want a person not of Indian origin (even one who has lived there for 30 years) to tell us how much power Hindus/Muslims/Sikhs can have. We already have the BIG bunch of loosers - RSS/BJP - doing it for us! thank you
ps: I was born a Hindu too, but I look at all people as one and the same.
