He heard it was philosophical and profound from many Hindoos. But of course he ignored them. But when he later heard some western people say the same - good native that he is - he memorised their opinions and regurgitated those. He can totally avoid reading BG now that they've told him what to think. (Adept psecular Indian that he is, he dare not think for himself and come to an opinion independently.) You know, nothing is cool for the psecular copycat unless the west says it is. For confirmation you need but ask that - briefly a member - Nandu "The Romans Are Coming" Rajurikar. (By the way, where did that one go? Hadn't laughed that much in ages... "The Romans invaded India" - ooohhh, still funny!!!!!!)
