This is understandable because outside the mainstream European countries there is no theory of knowledge and historical experience of reasoning. Research is generally hit and mis. There is always a conflict between reason and belief which makes many unhappy. It is not hard to learn the "scientific method" from the West instead of their superficial life styles. While European philosophers have been addressing questions, for fore than 500 years, like "the relationship between man and the state" Indian and other Oriental philosophers are still lost in questions like "the relationship between man and God"! There are as many as 99% who still believe in astrology in India and many are scientists!
