There is nothing called as "Real Indian"..wake up my friend! We are a bunch of inferior slaves who took more than 200 years to get our freedom at the cost of horrifying partition, and still look towards the west under crisis situation. We take false pride in talking about "Unity in diversity" where in reality its the other way round. We are proud of the fact that we haven't attacked any country in past 2000 years inspite of being attacked so many times. Our celebrities crave for attention from western media whereas the hollywood celebrities care a damn about our celebrities...remember Richard Gere spontaneously answering "who is Shah Rukh!" in one of the indian talk shows. Our movies are made for non resident indians and thus the domestic market is in real slump. So all the examples in your article are justified in a way. All we know is to walk around with some illusionary pride and arrogance of being indian..god knows for what reason. Time to think beyond these problems.

We should be proud of being Indian. Ofcourse we should be. But at the same time we should be open to accept the Global cultures. The world is coming on one platform and we should not resist the good influences.

Who is to decide what is good or bad western influence? When there is erosion with in it is normal to succumb to external influences.

Let people decide for themselves. No one has the right to tell other what they should or they should not do in their personal lives. For. e.g. you can be a very good person believing that Ram existed and I get be equally good denying that. Its a matter of personal choice.

Why are you being the judge. You are underestimating the masses of India. Which means you have no respect for India as India does not mean a piece of land. it means its masses.
