The author of this article does not understand India, its history, culture, religion and people. He being from the west, the authoe can not at all understand the soul of India. It is evident from the ignorant atricles of him which appear in Rediff time to time. If he knew a bit of the history of Indian Civilisation, he could not have made the suggestion to take what is good in west and reject the bad. India has accepted the best of every culture with which she came in contact with in her long history. She has never lost her culture and tradition in the during the long rule of Muslims and West. If he loves India as he claims, the author must start studying Indian Philosophy and learn Sansrit and seintifically observe the life of the people. Then he will understand, Indians can never be westerns in their thinking, lifes philosophy and religion. He must look at reporters like Mark Tully of BBC, who lived and worked in India long time and understand India well and never writes like this author showing panic! Joseph Peedika
