			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today we finally landed at the <a href="http://www.fiphk.com">FIPHK</a> Literary Group meeting &#8211; small group from Forum of Indian Professionals in Hong Kong who meet on a monthly basis to discuss a book or two and talk about their own reflections on the books under discussion. Today&#8217;s book under review was God&#8217;s Debris &#8211; written by <a href="http://www.dilbert.com">Dilbert</a> creator <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Adams">Scott Adams</a>&#8230; it was presented by Hrishikesh Kulkarni. I&#8217;m yet to read the full book &#8211; I have just seen parts of it and seen the discussions on blogs &amp; other social media platforms. I think Hrishikesh did a great job in bringing alive the book &#8211; lot of work gone into putting the entire book in a presentation.</p>
<p>The book made me think &amp; I felt quite a few philosophical concepts were inspired by Ancient Indian Philosophy. I personally thought that some of the issues were handled very superficially. Not fully equipped to comment as I&#8217;m yet to read it fully but that was my first impression. Also I don&#8217;t claim to know Indian Philosophy but my exposure to people who know it is pretty high. I somewhere feel that there are a series of Western authors are taking inspiration from Indian Philosophy &amp; then trying to interpret it in their own way. Nothing wrong in that but what disturbs me a bit is that most people try to interpret ancient Indian Philosophy in a very literal manner &amp; thereby missing the deeper meaning attached to different philosophical constructs. Their exposure to India is through translated literature &#8211; so they essentially see India through the eyes of the translators (and their perceptions).</p>
