What do you guys think of India...

What do you guys think of India? I've been researching it and it seems to be one culture that rivals the west in almost every area. It seems it has come to conclusions in philosophy and science that the people in the West did but thousands of years earlier. All of the art of India is just as good as the west. Hindustani Classical Music for example is just as intricate and powerful as Western Classical Music but completely unique.

"Even the loftiest philosophy of the Europeans, the idealism of reason, as it is set forth by Greek philosophers, appears in comparison with the abundant light and vigor of Oriental idealism, like a feeble Promethean spark in the full flood of heavenly glory of the noonday sun—faltering and feeble, and ever ready to be extinguished."
- Friedrich von Schlegel (1772 – 1829)

>"When we read with attention the poetical and philosophical monuments of the East, above all, those of India, which are beginning to spread in Europe, we discover there many a truth, and truths so profound, and which make such a contrast with the meanness of the results at which the European genius has sometimes stopped, that we are constrained to bend the knee before the philosophy of the East, and to see in this cradle of the human race the native land of the highest philosophy."
- Victor Cousin (1792 – 1867)

>"It is impossible to read the Vedanta, or the many fine compositions in illustration of it, without believing that Pythagoras and Plato derived their sublime theories from the same fountain with the sages of India."
- Sir William Jones ( 1746 – 1794)

>"I spend my happiest hours in reading Vedantic books. They are to me like the light of the morning, like the pure air of the mountains - so simple, so true, if once understood."
- Max Muller (1823 – 1900)

>"In the morning I bathe my intellect in the stupendous and cosmogonal philosophy of the Bhagavat Geeta, since whose composition years of the gods have elapsed, and in comparison with which our modern world and its literature seem puny and trivial…"
- Henry David Thoreau (1817 – 1862)

- Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 – 1860)

>(The Bhagavad Gita is) "The most beautiful, perhaps the only true philosophical song existing in any known tongue ....perhaps the deepest and loftiest thing the world has to show."
- Wilhelm von Humboldt (1767 – 1835)

>"I owed a magnificent day to the Bhagavad-gita. It was the first of books; it was as if an empire spoke to us, nothing small or unworthy, but large, serene, consistent, the voice of an old intelligence which in another age and climate had pondered and thus disposed of the same questions which exercise us."
- Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803 – 1882)

>"In the whole world there is no study so beneficial and so elevating as that of the Upanishads. It has been the solace of my life -- it will be the solace of my death. " - Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 – 1860)

Lol no

?

It was a great civilization until affirmative action ruined it.
Now you no good work of art and culture from it and it's talented people get out of the country.

European Indologists did have a massive hardon for India.
So did the Theosophists and Athroposophists.

It's an interesting place.
It's almost a modern day classical culture as old as rome and greece but one that has somehow managed to survive intact across millenia where the other two cucked to judiasm.

That being said, it's not a 'nation' and should not be a single unified country.
It could probably work as a union of states or like the Emirates though. Kingdoms under individual sovereignty.

Show me some Indian equivalents of great western artists.

The west had more depth but there is no denying that Indians are in the ballpark at least. Most of the philosophy that was being done in Europe throughout it's history was already done in India thousands of years earlier and it wasn't until the 19th century when translations started coming out that people realized that so much of European philosophy had already been done. Some philosophers seemed like almost exact plagiarisms. I don't much about science and math but I've heard the same there.

He's right. Sure, Indians came up with the zero and we can credit them for the numeral system we currently use (which we should instead of saying it was arabs). However we've gone so far beyond that point now, modern mathematics were created and perfected almost entirely in the west.
