It is tragic that anything that pertains to ancient Indian culture is mocked by the half-baked, western-wanne-be Indian media. A prime example is the IBN-CNN channel, which mocks anything that has to do with Hindu/Indian culture or heritage, and cannot seem to differentiate valuable cultural practices from the trivial ones. They mock yoga, ayurveda, religious and cultural practices, family system, arts, and ancient scientific accomplishments of India, as if eveything Indian is to dismissed with contempt especially if it doesn't have the seal of approval of the west. What a pathetic attitude. It is no wonder that many Indians grow up with a sense of shame of being Indian, and everything western exudes 'rationality.'
