Wills and Kate's disasterous tour of the caribbean

Depends on what lense through which the situation is viewed. If you're of the belief that India should embody Western ideals, then clearly it will never live up to certain standards. If you think India and other non-Western countries with rich civilisational histories with modern growth should return to the philosophies that made them powerful in ancient times, then there's obviously a lot of work to be done.

We can see what the so-called Enlightenment of the Europeans leads to when there are no checks in place. Those of us in the Anglosphere are living smack-bang in the middle of those results, and I'm seriously beginning to resent and despise every moment of it.

Read this book. It talks about how most of the problems and diseases we face now are due to the modern diet we eat and that these indigenous people living on their natural diet barely suffered from those problems. The author went to different remote isolated tribes all over the world and observed their health and compared them to similar groups of people who now instead of relying on their ancient natural diet were introduced to the modern western diet and suffered from many problems including tooth decay, lack of jaw development and so on. These tribal people were uprooted from their traditional way of life of living one with nature and considered evil and savages and now the same people discovering that their diet was actually the diet we humans should be eating and not the stuff we eat now.

yes true. The people have become adharmi and hence the society is regressing day by day. It's funny when they talk about ancient civilization and stuff when most of them have completely fallen off the path of dharam. They think the ideals that they possess were the true dharmic ideals of the past which is far from the truth. That society has completely degraded.

Well, dharma favours nobody. Dharma is not liberalism and it's not designed to placate and make people feel warm inside. It's also not a greenlight to commit atrocities. We've found ourselves in a world where tolerating the intolerable is a sign of tolerance. That's extinction level stupidity.

If Indians want to create a society that eschews the cancer of Western ideals and replace it with Indian dharmic values, then good luck to them. We're in no position to lecture anyone on "true dharmic ideals" considering we've never enacted anything of the sort ourselves outside of tales of religious masala that I'm beginning to suspect are embellishments that count for nothing considering we've nothing to show for it.
