You are simply awesome in putting thoughts in right perspective & showing a comparative thought & analysis is so real that we feel day in day out.!! My next question is why our traditional indian thinking ( Marwadi kind) was like this, how did it not withstand the onslaught of capitalism, consumerism, market forces just 1.5 decade 1991-2005? Was it so fragile that the demonstration effect of goods/materials item was so strong that it demolished our traditional wisdom, or our deferred gratification surrendered to instant gratification. I mean something is missing in making us victim. Either globalization was a precursor of things like we have or our IT services industry pushed it or is it a timely combination of all the forces? Would love to discuss, learn from your deep insights about us, our polity, economy, sociology, psychology and what not. Thanks for sharing such detailed analysis. My friend called me after reading & had become fan of your writings !! All the best !!

If we analyze this behavior with absolute logical clarity, we must ask the fundamental question: Why?
Very good read, thanks for sharing!!
