Mr. Gautier is one of the few, if any, remaining Indophile scribes in the West, who literally loves the average Indian. What he is said is absolutely correct and to the point and his dispassionate views on Christian conversion merit special mention. Yes the present and several previous governments have eroded nationalism, degraded Hinduism and effectively shackled the explosive growth potential of India. We need to admit that first, and then displace and replace these corrupt self seeking anti-national politicians with politicians with nationalistic sentiments and integrity. It is the need of the hour and we owe it to the next generation. Unless all of us pledge to vote out anti-national and corrupt politicians in every election, regardless of our caste / regional affiliations, the country cannot survive, let alone thrive. It is for us to decide what we want to provide to our children- a life of strife, terror, and possible refugee status, or a stable prosperous life.
