Swami Vivekananda had once said that remove religion from India and She is dead. India is a vertitable laboratory of meta-physical and spiritual thinking in this world.
At another time Swamiji said that India is the primal Guru of the world in religion.
What will remain in India if there will be no difference in India, USA, Canada or any other country?
<b>India is the only country in the world where the space scientists go to a temple and break a coconut before launching rockets/satellites.</b>
[Space science in the lordâs hands:

Now, that shows howsoever successful an Indian might become, deep inside heart he/she has some faith/belief system which cannot be found anywhere in this world.
Sri Aurobindo said that India is a living goddess which has from time immemorial survived worst onslaughts in human history.
A recent survey in the world has put Indians among the most religious people in the world (2nd in the world which could be due to statistical error as they probably did not consider vast semi-literate people who are even more religious).
Try Googling and most meta-physical, religious sites are Indians or from India.
Compare it with what other countries have to offer on the net !!!
India faces lots of challenges but remember what Sri Aurobindo had said:
<i><b>
"India of the ages is not dead nor has she spoken her last creative word; she lives and has still something to do for herself and the human peoples. And that which must seek now to awake is not an anglicised oriental people, docile pupil of the West and doomed to repeat the cycle of the occident's success and failure, but still the ancient immemorable Shakti recovering her deepest self, lifting her head higher towards the supreme source of light and strength and turning to discover the complete meaning and a vaster form of her Dharma."</b></i>
