Guest guest Posted November 25, 1999 Report Share Posted November 25, 1999 >Yep, Vedic India, still a whole lot better than your beloved western >hell-hole I'm sorry Krsna-Kirti Prabhu, but you just don't get it. It's not about which country that is better or worse. No one has said that the US is better or that India is worse. No one. And I can quote awful statistics about this country too, but I don't think I need to. No one here is in illusion about the huge problems facing the US. The real issue is about understanding that India is not the ideal paradise you and the GHQ-club make it out to be. It's a very complex country with strengths and weaknesses, with some very saintly people and with some grossly immoral people. It's a country with the most beautiful temples in the world and where women sometimes get burned to death because of insufficient dowry. It's a country where you can find posters of Krsna in stores in virtually every street and where some girl fetuses are aborted because of their sex. It's a country full of contradictions and much beauty - but it's not paradise. And you're not doing anyone a favor by pretending it is. Just get off this comparison trip. There is no country that compares to India. Ys, Madhusudani dasi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But... there IS much to learn from India & the remnants of vedic culture that exist here. Why don't we all go down THAT road together? Is that an unreasonable proposition?
