Moreover, the Hindu continent is not truely industrial and so cannot properly control and mechanize its subordinates, whereas in the West and America in particular people are so accostomed to technology that the soul of or society could easily be taken over by a few well placed machines with personality identifying nodes, which can allow or prevent coommerce and therefore prosperity.

I think India is becoming industrial at breakneck speed. There is a bizarre future ahead. Do you remember a couple years back when a founder at Sun, Bill Joy, gave an announcement to the world that humanity would be an endangered species within (I believe he said) 50 years? He said by then nanotechnology, robotics and genetic engineering would be so far advanced that we would have computers the size of cells and human, robotic and computer integration at a threatening level. The Dalai Lama has even stated on the record that eventually computer could potentially become sentient. Eventually you may be able to incarnate into a machine matrix.
