U must feel ashamed for ur outburst. Whereas the author analysed everything methodically and with references ur vitriolic attack on the article revealed nothing but the hollowness of ur understanding of the subject. Any sane, well informed, n self respecting Indian wil agree with most of the points. In fact the article echoed what I was thinking all these years about why we Indians are continually gaining recognition as intellectuals all over the world - ur tubular vision could only see our achievements in IT which are too recent. Even before that our doctors, scientists and engineers proved themselves all the world over (mostly so in the USA which is the leader in all the sciences for most of the post Industrial revolution period). Leaders like Nehru (architect of the Non aligned movement along with Nasser and Tito) the Mahatma and Indian expatriates like Anirudh Jugannadh (Commonwealth leader) are but only a few of the world leaders produced by this ancient culture. Yes, it is the culture that shapes ur thinking, attitude and aptitudes. This is the culture which declared 'Vasudhaika Kutumbam' and even respects atheism. Come out of the well my little toad !
