Logic is not a "western" concept. logic is universal, same as scientific method.
if you believe what Rao said because he's not an idiot then that's an argument from authority. again illogical way to look at the world.
Rao has zero evidence to back up it's claims, so he is really not different from the youtubers who cash in on ravana. Same extraordinary claims and same lack of evidence.
Blind believers have never invented anything, therefore we don't owe them the modern world. in the other hand, rational and logical people are the backbone of our civilisation.
