The West similarly tries to control any debate on cultural ethics, using slogans of democracy and human rights, which are only used to intimidate weak nations and conveniently ignored relative to stronger or wealthier nations like China or Saudi Arabia . Organizations operating under the cover of human rights are among the most aggressively alienating influences today. They function like "secular missionaries", ignoring victims of terrorism like the Hindus, while defending the "rights" of terrorist organizations against security forces that are compelled to take action against them. Meanwhile, it is the West that is selling the weapons and profiting by terrorism and civil strife throughout the world. The West originally trained many terrorist groups, such as the Taliban fighters in Afghanistan .
Such groups highlight social inequalities in India , but ignore a colonial history marked by attacks on indigenous Indic culture. The same charges of cultural backwardness have been used throughout the colonial era to undermine the native traditions of Africa , Asia and the USA , and to justify forced religious conversion and political domination, which is their real aim. Sometimes native intellectuals are taken in by these Western approaches to social issues, not realizing that they are just promoting the colonial agenda of world domination in a more covert form. by Dr david Frawley

All major cultural debates are now framed according to Western values and perceptions, and so they will naturally serve to uphold them. The important issues of Indic civilization today are framed according to the principles or biases of the Western school of thought. These include what Indian civilization is, when India as a nation first arose, what the real history of India is, how to reform Indian society, and how India should develop in order to have its rightful place in the future world. As the debate is defined according to the approach and values of Western civilization, India does not always fare well, and India as its own independent source of civilization is seldom acknowledged. India is judged as if it should be like another USA , UK or Germany , which it can never be, nor should be. This only makes Indians feel inferior or wrong.

The Western school of thought has denigrated or overlooked the Indic school, particularly in the Indian context. For example, the Indic school has its own history sources through the Vedas, Puranas and various historical texts (Itihasas) that are quite massive and detailed and have much internal consistency. However, in writing the history of India , the Western school does not give these any place. They are dismissed as, at best, mythology and, at worst, fraud. Instead, it defines the history of India according to outside influences, as a series of invasions and borrowings mainly from the west, from cultures the West knows better and has more affinity with, which makes India seem dependent upon the West in order to advance its civilization again today.
The Western school of thought negates the relevance of the traditions of India . This is not simply because the Indic tradition is wrong, unsophisticated or irrelevant. It is because Western civilization is hegemonic, if not predatory in nature, and such ideas help promote its spread. Its information about India contains a built-in poison. It is meant to undermine the culture of the region and subordinate it to the West, however objective, scientific or modern its approach may appear to be.

This is what I call - Attitude of "Blame it on West". Every socio-political crisis or causes do not originate because of western education system. I think this is time for introspection rather than blaming on west on our internal matters. It about time to think that do we want socio-political system to be based on religious sentiments or strengthen in a way that would make us forward looking.

ashish our(present indians ruling) thinking has become western when any saint /yogi comes we all rush to him for blessings later blame it on hindu dharma.When britishers were ruling india they knew in there hearts they can not prove intellectual superiority over Hindus because at that time itself our texts were revealing many scientific details.So they instilled in us the inferiiority complex.Which i clearly see in most of us.If we have to rewrite history of India then the worlds history will also be rewritten prior to advent of Jesus and Mohammed.B'coz Ramayana and Mahabharat contains significant information on this. do read these books by these wetern authors Once India ruled america.
in any circumstances we shoul take the best but not at the cost of ignoring and proving our text as mythological.We are still slaves of british mentality this is clearly reflected in every organisation of india....
