In one of my discussion on desicritics.org, with someone called "Jay", I had this discussion on what makes India - the diverse India. My viewpoint is that the "Hindu"/Vedic ethos is what provides the medium in which diversity thrives. Diversity is desirable and indeed important. But it has been the toughest of goals to achieve for many societies. How is it that the Indian society has not only been successful in getting it right once but all through the centuries! Jay (beholden by the US example), however, believes that only Governance and people make a society (his hypothesis). I disagree. I believe that ideologies make societies!
