According to DC; India is westernized and Hindu rituals are beyond common sense

This entry to Media Watch is pertaining to Deccan Chronicle report Festive rush in all temples all times. It seems that DC has gone out of way potshots at Hindu Beliefs.

Some of salient paragraphs which caught Media Watches attention are

Despite westernisation of the Indian population over the last decade, there seems a multi-fold increase in ‘faithful’ devotees and ardent adherence to religious practices among the general public year after year.

Media Watch would like to understand how DC arrived at the conclusion that Indian population is getting Westernized? Does wearing western dress or speaking in english make them westernised?

DC finishes the article by taking avoidable potshot at the Hindu beliefs

If ‘faith is believing in things when common sense tells you not to’, as a German scholar put it, then there is no wonder in people queuing up to offer puja to a brick in Besant Nagar, which has attained a saintly status!

It seems DC is not aware of even basic tenets of Hinduism which says 

God is omnipresent (present everywhere) in it's un-manifest aspect & is always present all around us. Every inch of the space is occupied by Him. Every nook & corner is filled by Him.
