The irony is your hypocrisy in how you condemn America and the West and gloat about its decline, and celeberate India’s rise - to what? - to becoming more like America and the West :D[/QUOTE]
SD, Please read what we write. One gets a feeling that you are so involved in what you say, that you you just dont read, let alone consider, what I or N have said.:o
“I hate it when people make predictions about what is going to happen in the distant future. It is because they assume that the way the current world is going is going to continue as it today.”
Nope, you are taking what I said out of context. I was speaking about the context of extrapolating based on current trends into the distant future, without taking into account trends that could take place, for example WW3 before 2040. If we do not take into account something like WW3 happening before 2040, then India is fully on track to becoming identical to what America is today based on what we can see right now in terms of the increase in divorce rates, obesity, diabetes and porn.
You are repeatedly missing the point I am making. I am saying by 2040 India will be the same as America is today - the country you hate so much. This is because capitalism leads to this naturally. You are trumpeting something that eventually leads to total socio-economic, moral and political breakdown.
I am telling you there is only way one way India will prosper if it turns back to its Vedic roots i.e., becoming spiritual again. But I am also telling you this is not going to happen because Indians are not interested in spirituality today, they want wealth. The things you have said yourself have indicated this.
I don’t think you care too much about spirituality anyway.

No country can turn back from capitalism. It is too late.
And you are right. I care more about knowledge. Spirituality, IMO, comes later.
