It is sad in a place that is supposed to be spiritual they still have a caste system. They have 350 million rich people while 1 Billion people suffer and die in the streets. So I say to them you are not a bright culture or nation. You are heartless and stupid. You are all proud you have a nuclear bomb now. Gross, pathetic bs. And your movie stars complain when searched or detained like they are important to the human race. Gross, arrogant. Why don't you feed some of your poor and stop the guru scams. Dr. Chopra. Live in poverty until all the children in India are cared for and then maybe we will listen to how one should live life out of your rich lips.
