Nilekani missed the greatest factor that makes India what it is..Hinduism that gives it tolerance and a passivity to accept failures...Indians are also the most professional of people as they do their duty guided by ancient messages of the Geeta that a person must do his duty. India lives with 130 million Muslims whereas little Denmark has problems with 250000 Muslims..add to it several languages and ethnic groups. India is India because it is Hindu. How could Nilekani miss that??

100% agree. Hinduism is what makes India tick. Look at Porkistan! 100% Muslims, and the country is a dismal failure. No Islamic country has the technological know-how of India. Nilekani missed the boat (the train, the bus) on this one. Even Tom Friedman acknoledges Indian Muslims arew lucky to be in India, becausde we Hindus put up with Mooselems, even payinmg for free Haj trips for these namak harams.

You are spot on. In early 50s 60s 70s educated Hindus were reluctant and apologetic about their religion owing to the inferiority complex created by pseudo secular chiefs. Typically they were pseudo intellectuals leaning to the left and convent educated english speaking. In late 80s there was more awareness to our HInduism and HIduism is what united people from different states. Hindus are more proud and confident. That changes the way think and their attitude.One has to be proud of their roots. Hinduism is our roots even for Muslims and Christians of India.
