and lastly some among us hate our own kind
look at nehru a kashmiri pandit – he detested hinduism to such an extent he tried to enforce his kind asocialism with great zeal
the great bulshiters from the jnu stable like the tv from new delhi are byproducts of the univ named after him

not only that he was the worst enemy of his own pandit clan
the mess he made out of kashmir is legendary

Lets be honest Sotch is much better than Indian malts. Lacoste is much better brand than most local brands to wear.

Basmati is much better than other rices.Indian spices are superior to the west as are the hapus mango’s.In a globalised world you choose the best

As indians move abroad, westerners are also becoming more aware of what hinduism is.I have seen plenty of white people in the hare krishna/hipee movement.

the world is becoming too globalised. hinduism would be better suited to expand with the change.

Being secular was always a tool. it started from gandhi who appointed Nehra instead of Sardar patel(a better candidate for the job) because he feared he would be partial to a fellow gujrati.

Sardar patel being PM. India today would be better off.

Notice how nothing is said off the “secular” congress sikh riots and yet gujarat becomes a genocide on the hindu part

Mr Gautier, I find most of his article to based on misconceptions.
eg the sikhs.(who are no doubt brave) but in general to be partly true.

Another culture which has mimicked the west is japan.I leave you to make ur own assumptions.

I read Mr Gautier, and realise that this is a foreigner who has looked at us and found our weaknesses that we have either denied or was ignorant about.

I used to be proud of being a secular country, till I realised it was just a tool for our politicians, while we stab our own backs trying to prove how broad-minded we are.

I have no objections to pick up good points from other cultures, but I agree with the author on the point of aping for the sake of aping. Mimicking blindly solely to become something that I am not. in the hope of feeling superior.

Hell i am all for it.Religion must change with the times.For eg the caste system is a disgrace.It is slowly but surly changing for the good. Give it time.Cant expect to mismantle a system 5000 years old in 50 years. You can callpeople like me as hindu modernisers.

Better conditions for women.I am all for women having the right to perform rituals. Sati has been eradicated.thats a good thing which western culture brought us.

but i agree with the author on this. Secular hindus scew their own religion for the convinience for other religions.

About fiji guyana etc. hmm Not only indians when the chinese face the same problems in places like malaysia vietman and thailand.

the strength of the indian state (which is not secular till it implements uniform civil code) will soon readdress that.

A new generation of hindus being born outside the bonds of the british raj will not stand for the bullying I assure you that.

As for sikhs, hmm the head of an hindu family in punjab became a sikh. Sikhs were created to defend hindu’s from hindus.

More than being cowards, hindus in the past were totally divided.

The rajputs had their head stuck up their ass with the welfare of their princly states rather than hinduism.they were themost divided state in middle ages india.

Th author also fails to realise who exactly the Peshwa’s were. How ranjit singh made a pact v the british against the marathas. how the longest serving “martial races” the sikhs and the rajputs served the british till the end.

But lets be brutally honest.Time is the master of us all. Hinduism has done remakably well to survive 5000 years.(approximate could be more).Changes will happen no doubt.I am happy it has not gone the way of zorashraism which was litrally wiped off the map.It was the official persian religion before the adevnt of islam.Or even egpytian religion.thats two major ancient religions litrally wied off the map.Greek traditional religion and roman religion?? cant see anybody practicing them.Grrece got raided by the turks romans hmm by the christians.

Islam and chirstianity(who dcendend from judaism,look at their fate, a religion probably the second oldest) are relatively new religions.We can tell what their fate is 2000 years from now.

Hindusim has a growth rate of 1.69%.It is the worlds second fastest growing major religion.The number of hindus in the world regardless of anything have increased over time.Currently believe it or not hinduism is under gowing a rebirth despite the issues in nepal etc.

Hindusim is like a tree with a bendy spine.Its looks weak but bends in the wind. the same is the case of most indic religions including budhism(also growing very fast) and jianism.

The toehrs seem to have a hard unflexible spine. They get uprooted in the wind.

perhaps I didn’t write it clearly.
I am not joining the bandwagon that blindly condemns the “RSS” and “Sangh Parivar” because that is the broad-mindedness we have come to equate with “secularism”.

Narendra Modi is no less evil than many of his opponents. There has been more atrocious crimes and human rights abuses committed against Hindus that are never condemned so vociferously as against Modi.

Who made the Kashmiri Pandits homeless?

India needs people who can show that not all of us are blind or cowards. A time comes when it becomes necessary to call enough is enough and give it back as good as we get. The negationists have had it too easy for too long. They do not like anyone standing up against them.

The Islamists follows their religion that preaches intolerance.

Many “secularists”, the marxists and the negationists are deliberately selling our country piece by piece to strengthen their vote bank,I say to hell with them.

Many of those who took to wearing rose-tinted spectacles, never takes them off. They will never acknowledge that the reality is not as rosy as was believed.

Mr Gautier is dead right. The desire to ape is in our genes.

It is said that a nation has to be proud of itself to move forward – and unless there is a big change in this intellectual elite, unless it is more conscious of its heritage and of India’s greatness, which has begun to happen in a small way, it is going to be very difficult for India to emerge as a real 21st century superpower.

Having read a booklet by a Hindu at our Mandir, I think that many of these “westernised intellectuals” probably see the west through rose-tinted spectacles. He says that many people who came to live in Britain thought that it would give them the chance to live in the “best society” and for their children to have “the best education in the world”. Needless to say they found the reality to be lacking. There are some good things about Western countries, but they are far from a utopia to be aspired to and copied in every way.

I agree with what you write.
As an A&E physician, I regularly meet these individuals following their drunken orgies and debauchery.

I read this article by Mr Gautier and every word struck a chord.
If us hindus are being hounded and humiliated,
it is because we let it happen.

Thanks for leaving me the link to your blogs,
I now have it on my blogroll and look forward to exploring it.

Thanks again.

Will anyone believe me, when I write this? No they will not.

As an Englishman I can confirm that this is the case. As I wrote in my own blog many people in the west live at a purely animal level, getting drunk every night, with no idea of any morality or spirituality. Go to any city centre after 9:00 pm and you will see it filled with drunk young people, often injuring themselves and sometimes violent. It never ceases to amaze me that Christian missionaries ignore all these people with no religion, belief or concept of anything above immediate pleasure, and instead target people who already believe in God, and where their actions will bring discord and strife.
