Quote:
i never said India should be culturally liberated (or aping the west in your terms) for the sake of being called civilized
to tolerate lower castes working better jobs
to tone down the opposition towards these cheerleaders
to allow the show of affection in public
to tolerate conversion of religion to allow catholics to eat beef
to let males and female in a internet cafe sit in the same cubicle rather than be pulled out and berated by a uneducated policeman
the list goes on and on
the list above isnt a stereotypical veiw of india its just what i have seen in my time around india
im indian myself though i now live in australia though india has more freedom than most asian nations there is still a lot india has to achieve to a become freer nation

To tolerate lower castes getting better jobs? That hasn't been an issue ever since reservations have been introduced about 40-50 years ago. A former President, K.R. Narayanan, was a Dalit himself.

Catholics can eat whatever they want-heck, even some Hindus eat beef in India, I don't know what you're talking about.
The rest of your points pertain to public displays of affection-maybe laws need to be relaxed on this regard, and maybe not. It depends on what most Indians have to say-laws won't be arbitrarily changed to fit some western perceptions of freedom just to appear to be "freer" to western nations than other countries in this part of the world.
