Agreed that Indians follow Contextual Morality...but so the world. There are lot of examples ( in line with what u hv given for Indians) of contextual morality by westerners also. After all human mind is basically same everywhere.....So always write/explain both sides of a coin OR do not misguide people.

Hi Abhijeet, I had written the same argument what you have rightly mentioned. But rediff moderator didn't publish it. This article is a farce on those who think western morality is good morality. Can they defend their 'absoulte morality' on abortions, Iraq war, the nuclear attack,slavery, etc. None can. Who has given the author and that fellow Ramanjam the right to define morality only in the Western way. Rediff should dump such authors in the dust bin.Come on rediff moderator don't get scared. Rediff shouldn't be foolish
