This anglo american is lying about ind ian culture.Noo ne in ind ia admires bollywood because of s prituality. Indians watch movies for entertainmnt jus t like res t of globe . also b ollywood is d egenerate and doesnt characterize indian culture at all. He also l ies that usa has guilt but ind ians dont have guilt but have shame which is different . What the hell is he talking about? What g uilt does usa have that they at tacks countries around the g lobe including i ndia via nato? Also ind ians aren t obsessed with b ollywood and consider it only for entertainmen t . Real obsession is in usa where americans are obsessed with c elebrities like taylor swf t . But s epoy minded indians will g l0rify him regardless of his lies because of their s lave n ature. usa is regularly targetting india and i ndians are supporting these Americans shamelessly. Lot of pro wes t i ndians most ly like to glorify foreigners for no logical rationale. no wonder indians were colonised by anglos easily despite indians having larger population. indians need to en d glorification of anglos of us,uk who are targetting india even in modern era.

His outlook to reading actually made me think and appreciate how important writing is. That single sentance of 'It's amazing what we have written down', kind of inspires me to write down some of my thoughts and publish it, no matter how unrefined I think my writing is. As humans, we do not have the special capability some animals have of inheriting memories from ancestors. Instead we developed writing and reading, by which we transfer information both current and future generations. It is through writing and reading that we aquired such such deep and wide collective intelligence and became this advanced as a species. A lot of us isn't really consciously aware that knowledge, technologies, arts, culture and craftsmanship; all of them can actually be lost from societies, writing and reading is the only way we have to prevent that.
