agnivayu... the other reason for the preferntial treatment for the chinese civilization that the west has, is because it can. i mean the greater indian civilization is shown as in the west - the less their own civilization becomes. so they will never say that buddhayana was great - lest pythagoras come out as a lesser person. the west doesnt risk itself by extolling the chinese - and so it does.
