I think you are misleading when you compare Connect 2006 and Ashok Singhal's Birthday meet. The subjects are different. Even if you say that ultimately both meets were impacting India, you have to concede that India is a multi-dimensional entity (as any other nation) and nationalistic frevour in no way hinders economic boom. In fact, they complement each other. Man does not live by bread alone.
