India is a secular country, tolerant of world religions. It has the largest population of Hindus in the world but at the same time it has the second largest population of Muslims.
Most people associate India with Hinduism as it is the largest practised religion there. Hinduism preaches good over evil any day. Very similar to Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism.
No country is perfect and India is not without its flaws. Ethics is a subjective issue and human rights records vary throughout the world.
Choose what is best for you. What works.
[in response to one of the answers] The caste system is not a subset of religion, it is a subset of culture.

Religion? The caste system where one is born into a societal structure that he can never escape until he dies where, if he lived his life just right previously, might get into a higher caste?
Ethics? Women are raped and are treated as servants. Where they continue to push out babies like sausages despite the fact that they already have well over a billion people in a place the size of Alaska and refuse to use condoms even tho AIDS threatens their population?
I wouldn't call India the best in anything other than a willingness to work very hard for $2 American a day and a sack of rice.

Only if you agree with their religion and ethics, which seems to be the only way one could agree with it being the best. :o)

I don't know. I've never been there. But, why don't you ask the many Hindu's who emmigrate to the US everyday and find out how wonderful it is from them?

I doubt it - from what i gather "corruption" reigns in ritualistic India with millions of deities.
