No, it is Indian intellectuals who don't want India to modernise because then they lose their narrative and are out of a job What this discussion has highlighted is just that.

Leaving aside the two neighbours that have their own agendas against us.

Many people in the Indian non-left used to say many of the things that Mr Babones has said. However, they would be not be taken seriously or debated. In fact most would be dismissed by calling them 'bhakts'. It's only when a western intellectual has countered so called liberal intellectuals of India that they got 'triggered'. It shows they only value opinions coming from westerners just like they only believe surveys and studies done abroad.

thanks for Salvatore Babones and appreciated for his true attitude. This is the first time I have seen a foreigner correctly point out the problem with Indian intellectuals who are creating an anti-India narrative just like the government is a fascist government, etc., and against Hinduism despite the peace-filled nature of the religion without any gangsters. These intellectuals are operating an anti-Indian narrative for China through NGOs, United Nations agencies, and international media affiliated with international missionaries, etc. What I liked about it was his statement that no one understands Indian culture very well, especially westerners, who completely misunderstand it. This is a great treat for India, and we have to do something about it.
