If you look at the history of India, India had always been a %u201CKishkhindha %u2013 The monkey kingdom%u201D. Due to its High traditions and Great culture, (and a few Ram%u2019s ?), India had produced once in a while a few Hanumans, in spirituality or otherwise (e.g., Swami Vivekananda, Paramahamsa Yogananda, B V Raman etc), who could move mountains under their feet with faith (in themselves). But in the present situation, with Westernized culture and loss of traditions and lack of Ram%u2019s, we see Drunken monkeys (refer Godhra, Sikh roits, Maharastra roits, etc) influenced by politics and politicians, or trained monkeys which think and perform for their masters here and abroad (for peanuts). Nothing less and nothing more. What else can you expect ?

I can see that you did not understand even an iota of history and Spirituality of India. Your ignorance is your bliss... Read Swami Vivekananda's teachings with more carefully and try to understand rather than just reading.

Hahaha. How ignorant you are. Please read the book Autobigraphy of a Yogi by Swami Paramahamsa Yogananda and you will find that Vedic Hinduism had produce Lord Krishna or Lord Buddha or lord Jesus Christ like saints in every generation with out fail since ages and even now, you will find such saints silently and without any showoff.
You must be deserved to know certain things and spirituuality is certainly one of this. This deserving needs a thirst to know the truth rather than riducling of others.
Here is a free online copy of thsi book and you will realize the truth of my words and you will find the true SPIRITUAL INDIA and its Magnanimous vedic spiritual treasures without fail.

Of course, even Swami Vivekananda work is also Very practical and will make us do serious soul searching rather than living life as a joke(like animals whose work is only to take birth, grow up , raise kids, then, at the end die like an incapable) under the slavery of the nature with out any serious purpose.
