In the wake of phrases like ‘Hindus, Shmindus,’ and the ongoing controversy about Indian ethnicity versus host communities in the Hindu diaspora, Srila Prabhupada at least once called Indians seeking a would-be better life in the West, the ‘new crows.’ Yet he DID say this about Indian piety, “…through the veins of Indians, the spiritual fluid is flowing.” (13th Nov, 1973, lecture in New Delhi.)
