The Plight and Dichotomy of Modern India: Talk to an average “educated” Indian, and tell him that “A Sadhu from Varanasi told me that Yoga cures Schizophrenia”, and in all likelihood not just that he won’t believe it, but he will even probably laugh at it. Now tell the same person that, “A recent research at MIT proves that Yoga cures Schizophrenia”, and he will exclaim, “Wow!” as if he personally witnessed the entire research and will accept it without any further questions. Lack of historical knowledge leads to a lack of identity, absence of national pride, misinformation about the past, lack of motivation – all these in turn build up an inferiority complex which results in people aping what is projected to be superior (the western society), which in turn leads to the nation becoming a follower and not a leader.
