Yes, there are great values in the Western world: Freedom, democracy, equality (not always though), respect for the environment, less corruption. And India must, and has already borrowed from these qualities.
Dont write as if India borrowed there things from the West. India had the first democratic kingdom as early as in the first millenium. And who doesnt respect the environment??? It is the western world which has polluted the earth. This is a particularly a imperialist attitude - an attitude which believes that the western world is the cure for the all ills of the world. Infact they are the cause....
