Dear Ramesh, I acquiese, we are nation of hypocrites and it's really matter of writing one article and posting one comment. We are observent but we are not doers. I would like to draw one interesting point here. Prior to moving out of india, if someone would call indians as hypocrite i used to thrash his view with my proclined rational skills. But that role changes as i moved out of India..(You would be feeling same, i presume) As long as we are in India we are used to live same hypocrites life as you mentioned. But when we move out of India we realize our indian moral values, culture, ethics and list goes on. Why So? All of a sudden our palpable sense to surrounding activates and our self goes in observent mode. Then we blame Indian governemnt policies, culture, education, industrial hierarchy, economy, poverty, iliteracy..n points. So still question comes to one point why so? According to me we are driven by external factors in India and we are driven by our ownself outside India. Why so? i dont have reason and explaiantion but it happens..
