are they....in spirit and letter ::confused::
just look at the ICC. the Indian cricket elites took over with their great flow of cricket wealth and look at what happened, what they did immediately

. they walked straight back into the pages of english cricket history, even past when there were players and gentlemen, in rigid and prejudiced english class structure that separated players totally, based on class and ethnicity.
the Indians have re-introduced tier-ed separation in international cricket, a rigid class structure, leaving the the 'lesser' nations to depend on begging and hand out from the big 3, who now monopolize the lions share of the wealth in the game.
that is the kind of initiative I see flowing from the Hindus globally, elitist class based initiative of a bad tempered quality focused, on maximum exploitation and monopoly that leaves everyone on the outside, gasping for air.
the Hindu society is not driven my thoughts of democracy and fair play, global developments like multi-polarity and non interference and independence of nations. Conquest, accumulation, domination is what I see flowing from New Delhi.
there was a time when this was so for the Hindu society..when Nehru was in charge following independence. Non-Alignment was the way of that day. but with the appearance of western Neo liberalism capitalism the Hindu took to that like a duck to water. the Hindu is prolly currently the greatest exponents of western economic Neo Liberalism, greater themselves, than the originators of that economic social horror
mind you the ideas of human progress is not non existent in Hindu life. there is Indian opposition to the neo liberal horror. there are left political movements and even insurgencies. and there is a board or raft of Indian artists, writers etc who express the best in human concerns, actions,progress etc., on this day. but to me for sure the general movement of Hindu is very troubling as I have stated above. India as america needs a leftward revolution, or deep social reform in the very worst way at this very time and date
