Westerners are getting more Hinduized while Hindus are getting into what they think as western values - such as drinking, dancing, pizza whatever they see in movies etc they think it is western value. May be in a way that is good <!--emo&

Viren, are you sure the West is really getting Hinduized?
They seem to be obsessed with "Eastern religion", which tends to be Buddhism than anything else. Westerners are usually bored quickly, so they tend to look for other things to do, and the "exotic East" looks cool to them and began their own pot smoking cult in the 70s. I don't know how religious people like Richard Gere are, but he seems to be cavorting with Dalai Lama all the time. He is rich and is a Hollywood waala, so its easy to get near the DL.
On the other side, there are some idiots converting to Islam and going the whole hog wearing those crazy shuttlecock burqas and saying "alhamdullillah" and inshallah in every sentence claiming that the burqa protects them from evil eyes. Yeah I bet these women do need protection, what with all those years of wild sex and drugs, eh? <!--emo&
