Its upto you to judge if Indian society has become more advanced for "Good or bad" since last few decades. 1. As a kid I remember my family and parent offering milk and puffed paddy to Snake. Now they just kill them. This tradition is still run by few holy people living in small remote temples. 2. While in west, people get hyped up and bring all sorts of insecticides/pesticides, In India i distinctly remember, that when there were too many ants coming out of there holes/colony, People (women) used to spray wheat flour and ants used to go back inside the colony as it meant enough food for them. Offcourse, as a kid, I remember being told off, if i accidently put a step that killed ant. 3. Forget meat, if someone hit a cow with lathee "baton", he was immediately told off by rest of family member. Indians were brought up to respect cows. 4. Even now, No one gets hyped up looking at so many street dogs. Indian Government did go for humane approach of neutering them instead of neutralising them. Bottom line is , what is right in west may not be right in India. Those who moved to west know exactly that cleaning bum with toilet paper doesnt gives the clean and hygenic feeling but they still do it. Same is with those examples. Visit a slughterhouse in India , then make a decision whether its worth killing a animal, whose milk most of India grows up on. The funny thing is, how both sides see their own approach as cleaner and the opposite to be dirtier. Indians go 'yuck..you don't wash, you use paper...not 100% clean. yuck'. Westerners go 'you touch your own **** ? yuck yuck yuck.' And both are right lol. 'What works in the west may not work in the east' is just divisive claptrap. If we have the same level of education and follow similar religions that don't interfere in the government process (both Hinduism & Christianity are not directly involved in law and governance of a nation), then its the same everywhere. This is why what works in the west also works in Japan. Because they are similar in education standards and have non-interference (with government) religions. At the end of the day, there is not a thing different between you, the Papua New Guinean, an Eskimo or an Arab. Only culture and religion. thats it. And that can be changed.

Point is, western liberalism is for all societies educated and free enough for it. One day, India too will get there. But i don't expect people who defend criminals and organizations that harbour criminals to understand that concept.
Muloghonto Posted April 8, 2017 Posted April 8, 2017 ^ Whats even more funny is that our upstart hinduvtas with their chip on the shoulder about western world, will decry anything western as an attempt to be 'unique' and 'indian values', all the while blissfully ignorant that what we call 'western values' such as individual freedom, separation of state and church, sexual freedom were also fundamentally part of golden age of India and what made India great. but now since the west follows it and the west ruled over us, apparently the very same values we used to follow 2000 years ago are no longer good for us.
