Re: Indian Interests_2
He was way before all these folks and in his time Inda was under occupation for over 900 years. No question, but it is that dismissive tone he had, in his reference to science in India.

Spengler didn't think much of India's scientific achievements, if he was even aware of them. He was impressed by Indian art. People like Elst, Frawley, Armstrong , Gauthier et al, are much more balanced and holistic in their awareness and appreciation of India

On a brighter note the CBC webpage (CBC.com followed by " India" in the search function), has articles about recycling of Canadian waste plastic in India. I didn't realise Canada was sending such waste to India. At least some of it is turned into useful tissue for Indian use.
