Even during the times of Lord Buddha , some councils (Kingdoms)came up purely on the basis of democracy and Buddha expressed his unconrolled joy when people elected its representatives. It was much before western parts of the world could even dream about and Plato was born in Greece. There is nothing , India could learn in the fields of philosophy,sprituality and politcal science from the West. Yes, it is true that India is a young country in modern sciences like mechanical engineering or aeronauticals. Still even today Indians do not know how to produce a 500 HP engine for their military and do not know how to formulate many anit-biotics. It is technologically a young country and we are progressing. The problem with Mr.Fracois is that he is more Indian than Indians. When 500 year rule of Muslims could not destroy Hindu culture, and 250 year rule of white men and their missionary jeal could not destroy Hindus and their "infidel" belief in "idols" , how come you are afraid now ? my dear Francois? Do not wory. Hinduism is not a weak relgion and it will not disappear the way its contemporaries Sumarian and Egypt cultures vanished.
