Santosh, U mention great stalwarts, but U do not say what if anything 'original' they discovered or invented. Philosophers are found in thousands all over the world, and they are unproductive.
Secondly U say that me and Jim type are divorced from Indian reality, India and ungrateful; for what? the shen and cow's urine? That is how India brings shame to all Indians in India and abroad. I am enlightened compared to the majority of Indians. That is the reason I may be able to see more clearly the total picture from above (culturally above). I can therefor analyse the status in India better than those who appreciate their own shit in conservative blindness! Open your eyes and LOOK rather than just SEE; and U will realise how unproductive and uncouth the India I love and that I am born in, is. U do agree that it is foreigners, the world at large that must appreciate India not the saffron and non saffron type of ignorant Indians who are looking at their own tail; they are not looking beyond. How sad? I hope all Indians grow up to take a good look at themselves compared to the world outside and not within only. Good and or Bad has meaning only when compared; else everything is either good or bad, on individual perception.
