Digestion of Indian civilisation into rival civilisations: Being Different discussion board

http://www.ndtv.com/article/india/how-india-became-america-185045

Building on the above article on how blind copying western civilisation is hollowing India and making Indians rootless, Rajiv Malhotra eminent thinker and writer positions the following scenarios of possible digestion of Indian civilisation into rival civilisations. It is imperative that Indians take cognisance of the rival civilisational dynamics which impact us. We cannot live in blissful isolation or blindly adopt western civilisational practices as being 'cool'. We need to be discerning and be very careful on what we adopt. I really like Narendra Modi' mantra 'we can be modern without becoming western'.
