Let me try, once again, to make my point (clear).

Use of computers *helps* the economy, evenm if you dont export software
or assemble hardware. Let us further restrict the example. Take the
example of *super-computers*. Assume that all the folks at Cray Inc are 
from IIT/REC. Now, the Metreological Deptt buys Cray, and uses it to
predict the weather. Now, the predictions become 100% accurate (in our
hypothetical example!!) Now, the farmers use it to decide when they cut
/thrash the grains.  This reduces the loss of grains due to the un-
predictable weather conditions. This leads to net increase in food 
production.

Also, other sectors of economy also use this information. In short,
the use of the Crays *clearly* helps the Indian economy, though India
 doesnt export Cray software, nor does it assemble Cray hardware.

Economics is fairly complicated, but as a simplified first approximation,
we can use the entire domestic production as an indicator. Anything that
helps increase the domestic production is likely to be beneficial to the
economy, regardless of the exports.

Yes and No. True, the influence of European culture is there in many countries
compared  to the non-European ones. But many of the ancient cultures still
maintain their own identity. And many customs in these will be completely new
to ones who have been exposed only to European culture.

On European ideas, or I should say ideas which originated in Europe.
Be it the style of dressing or kind of farming or kind of transport
or form of government. Europe generated such a momentum that the ideas
like free market, communism, socialism or even benevolent capitalism(?)
democracy and liberty survived. Also the Europeans stuck to those ideas
wherever they went, Americas, Australia...
But it is worthwhile to note that there are nations which used the 
European ideas, progressed and prospered but maintained their cultural
identity. Japan for e.g.

You can see a lot of influence of European culture on Indian urban life,
And to lesser degree in the rural areas. So I am not sure whether the
same ancient culture that will survive in future or that a cross-breed 
of Indian and European culture that will become dominant.

Your above argument strongly supports the case for another revelation
from The God. This one should be specified using all the terms that we
now have for describing all the astronomical and many other domains
and concepts. 

A document designed specifically for a period in which the modern 
technical terms didn't exist is a very time-spacific document. Now
the level of complexity which the human mind and the available tools can
comprehend has gone up, the God should provide us the more specific
revelation. 

Or is it that the God is mad at us for some reason and has vowed never
again to reveal to us his (Why isn't it a "her"?) secrets?

Dear Mr. PARANANDI,

Before you have to correct something, you should make sure you are correct.
The above usage of forgot(past participle) is correct and needs no correction
from English pundits such as yourself. 

Some IIT training would sure have helped you.
