The implied choice of our citizenry to wallop between claims to a moral and cultutural high ground" and a self-orchestrated confessional admittance to being part of the every day "hypocritical culture" - both taking us away from the sum and substance of nation's collective wisdom and spirituality is just unacceptable. As a nation we are yet to come to any significant level of understanding, much less a critical confrontation, with the darker aspects of our home-bread culture and some traditinal habbits of thinking. The Indian spiritual tradition and philosophies have to made to bear the responsibility for such a critical confrontation with and be the test-ground for its re-validation. Confronting the banalities of post-modernist world all the more beackons us to an examination of our inner resources.
