INDIA IS A "LAND OF SPIRITUALITY" !
There are valid reasons to put "land of spirituality"within quotation marks because all the spirituality that you find has always been in materialistic form.This so called spirituality is always a vehicle to accumulate material wealth.Just visit any religious empire,where much talked about and publicized 'spirituality' is practised and you will observe extraordinary materialism in real prospective.Ironically enough,spirituality in this part of globe is always weighed in terms of material wealth that is being made.The more the spiritual leader,the greater the wealth in terms of land,crores in banks and other assets and so forth.
It will be very pertinent to quote here Lise McKeen-"Religion is not only good for business..it is the best business of all;start-up costs are low,there are never any problems with supply or inventory and one receives tangible goods for intangible one."[Divine Enterprise,Gurus and the Hindu Nationalist Movement,University of Chicago press,1996].
