Imran Khan should have limited himself to cricket and later on his cancer hospital. That would have earned him a lot of respect and perhaps then his musings on life and philosophy would have been taken a bit more seriously. He ventured out on the wrong foot, without his guard and with no idea of what he was aiming at. No wonder the crowd is somewhat uncharitable.

Interesting article. I heard nothing about this article from Imran, but Indians often make these facile and incorrect comparisons too. Imran seems to be fairly narcissistic. He should be on Chowk.
If family life is better in his view in the East, it comes at the price of oppression, particularly that of women, and people find this difficult to accept. If anything, I find Easterners more driven by materialism than Westerners now, which is not hard when you have not had your basic needs met.

Brilliant view sir! I too was a fan and a follower of Mr. Khan. The stuff he says now on national television is only evidence of the fact that the man suffers from a possible personality disorder. Of course you might diagnose better.
