Paul McCartney didn't semonize to Indians on how to be either Indian
or Hindu. He told an Indian his opinion on how to save animals, health
and the environment. When he asked Canadians to stop allowing baby
seals to be clubbed to death for their pelts, was he telling Canadians
how to be Canadian and Christian?
