Wow. A country with a work ethic and a respect for personal liberty. And it is not the United States.

Paramhansa Yogananda said that India fell on its face as bad karma for its abuse of other countries long ago when it was powerful, but after the turn of the century, it would finally rise again.

We're watching that happen.

India was held back for decades by the socialist ideology it inherited from the dying British Empire. Now it seems to be embracing capitalism and freedom and the rule of law. It could become the dominant world power.

Dont quite know what countries and what abuse he was talking about but if karma was to affect everyone equally then a lot of countries in the western hemisphere would be falling on their faces right about NOW and should fall MUCH harder then India. And Muslims should have hit eternal karma hell long time ago. Still waiting....

Even as a Hindu I don't believe in karma.
