I think Indians are becoming more religious, with more money and worries, they are heading towards temple and tries to follow every rituals. I have felt major difference in extended family and friends back home within 10-15 years. More temples are coming up. People are donating more. Festivals and tiny mini religious days are followed with big celebration or rituals.
Education system need to be changed not by commies but by educated people who have interest of Bharat in heart.

I second that view that as India gets prosperous and knowledgable, it will look to its roots and dig deep into those roots to come up with its own answers. Do not expect the India of 2500 AD to look like the India of 2500 BC and in that lies the salvation of Hindu society that we will assimilate, learn and move forward. All of this with two caveats, Hindu society honestly corrects its social ills of caste and ignorance (including dharmic) and second learns to deal with non-dharmic civilizations with responses necessary to safeguard hindu society. While i am optimistic the cultural challege of the west coupled with their econnomic, philosophical and organizational challenges are formidable.
