My main point:Urs or the average yanks' impression of the hindus is a racial distortion(to the delite of the brahmins),not becos the hindus particularly excel in PR/propaganda but because the US elite want it that way
. Here's a laughable ps of PR the yanks made for the hindus(mainly bcos I think the elite need cheap manpower under globalisation): http://www.cbsnews.com/news/imported-from-india/
 Lets me put it this way,one can believe the hindi 'IIT' is 'harvard,MIT,princeton rolled into one' but the last time I checked,Tsinghua U has overtaken MIT as no.1 in engineering(by research citation)

Or like I posted at a hindu's blog a few days ago:"China and india operate differently.China has been under the threat of at least one superpowers in the last few decades. Modern china is the product of over a century of geopolitical Darwinism.." That guy,an economist, didn't reply. Yesterday I spotted a new passage of his, blaming hindu underdevelopment on,well,u  might have guessed right, the limeys again

As I said I prefer china to be hated as a giant that finally stood up rather than a caged bird. Do u know wat a strong india could damage US/western interest? Actually the hindus could seriously jeopardise US oil interest in the middle east becos of india's geographic proximity. So far the yanks haven't pushed the alarm button for the simple reason that india is NOT china& still can't develope good rifles ,even though hindu nationalists keep claiming india the next superpower. I personally don't take a romanticised notion on such matters like chinese interest or geopolitics nor I feel the average joe blow in US can influence the elite as such. An example: even with the anti-muslim hostility of the average yanks,the US elite still hanky panky with the saudis and Al Qaeda
