How is telling people about vedic maths unusual and new? Someone has obviously done it before. What's wrong in showing mastery in American history? Just because someone has done it before doesn't mean that you can't try to do it better. Isn't that the basis for innovation?
Who are you to say that Indian culture helps a person anyway? It may work for you but may not work for someone else. It's up to each person to decide what is best for him/her. It makes more sense to pick the best parts of every culture. Darwin.. survival of the fittest, evolutionary theory. Someone has found a better way to do something, you learn from it and evolve to survive.
Also, Indian culture has changed immensely over time.. Vedic teachings is a part of our history and isn't so much a part of our current culture anymore. Another obvious example is our sexual morality. Our current morality is based on the British morality when they colonized India. Before that Indians' were very open about sex (Kamasutra came from? Sexual statues on our temples?). Even the clothes were more scandalous then. It distracted the British soldiers, hence they enforced a dress code.
And what specifically is Indian culture? As far as I know, India only became one country under British rule, until then we were just various regions fighting against each other (hmm... I guess thats one thing that really hasn't changed much). If you're from Tamil Nadu, you follow one culture, Kerala another.. Punjabi, Bengali, Assamese, Gujrat
