1. India has not been a peaceful place...ever. If you look at Indian history, the subcontinent has effectively always been split into princely states that were continuously at war.
Do you know how the British were able to conquer India? They did it by pandering to these maharajas' wars with each other. They played an extremely good game of divide and conquer.
The reason why India has never invaded another country is because Indian states have been too busy invading each other.
2. In the caste system, there's a caste just for warriors. To imply Indian culture has not appreciated warriors is ludicrous considering the only caste considered higher than warriors is the priest class.
3. Our short stature I believe has more to do with the extreme level of poverty and terrible diet. I'll be the first to admit, being 5ft5 that the standard Indian diet is terrible. Take a look at Indians in the west and especially those who've adapted a western diet can be really tall.
4. The number 0 was invented in India. I know it might be hard to grasp just how revolutionary a decimal system really is because we're so used to is. But it has been argued that invention was the most important one in mankindhistory.
5. Your argument about money, Indian people being petty, jealous etc can be applied to most western men. In fact in any given society, only a small percentage of men truly stand out. Most are sheep. Indian men are no different in this aspect than other cultures.
There's a lot of things wrong with Indian culture, but none of it is what you prescribe.
I think one of our biggest issues has been the caste system. Men have effectively been told what they were going to be by birth. Until very recently you did what your father did. Heck my dad still does what my last name means (imagine having 'Smith' as your last name and your dad actually still being a blacksmith).

When have you ever seen Indians doing something out of passion, and not just to make money; or listened to them talking about new ideas instead of their usual whining about dissatisfaction with the system? Only a small percentage deviates from this attitude. In conclusion, most Indian men have just become women in a man's body; only interested in their self interest and their offspring's, only interested in means instead of the process to get them, no craving for adventure and risk taking, status obsessed, slaves of jealousy, possessiveness and ego. No surprise we hear and read stories of crimes happening in daylight and nobody coming to help the victim, even after the crime has happened, because face it; manliness is virtually dead in India.
You're saying this is universal? What would be the explanation of difference in the current state of nations then?
