termed as ‘westernization’ are largely from privileged classes and upper
castes- enjoying all the benefits of capitalism and consumerism. I prefer
not to point it out but it is must to mention that they do have

cozy with ‘godmen’ and spiritual masters, who run massive empires which are
not very different from today’s multi-national corporations. Their
assumption is that ‘westernization’ means increased ‘cut throat
competition’, ‘selfishness’ and ‘consumerism’ which is far from true.

Ahmed Khan and many other scholars were influenced by west. Marx, Darwin,
Socrates, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X etc. etc. have left profound
impact on Indian intellect and scholarship. They all were ‘westernized’ in
their outlook.Reformation of Hinduism and Islam in many aspects was legacy
of those from west.

selfishness, cut throat competition and consumerism: Continued here...
