Argentinians sing bhajans in their own Hastinapur

Interesting to see how the Sanatana Dharma is creating impact.

May be we can share more of this type of info from the not so known places.

Love and best wishes

That is interesting, Kallol, thanks for sharing.
Perhaps then it is no coincidence that a good site on learning sanskrit is run by an Argentinian: http://www.sanskrit-sanscrito.com.ar/en/essentials_important/aboutus.shtml :)

Spain, and I assume Latin America, in my opinion has been influenced less by Indian philosophy and theology then the English speaking countries it seems.

Nice to read. Argentina is no longer a predominately Latin/Spanish culture. It is a very cosmopolitan and tolerant [edit: 'tolerant' is really not the right word, but you get the drift] country. There are immigrants from all over the world. Argentina had its financial and political problems, but it's very much on the upswing. I myself would love to move to Buenos Aires, but because it is at almost the same latitude south (34°S) as I am north (40°N), it gets the same blizzards I want to run away from!

I don't mean to be too negative about it, but I did not find any of the statements to be true, when I visited them.

Really!? I am sorry to hear that. Maybe it's tourist propaganda that paints Argentina in a better light. Admittedly, most of what I've heard about it is about Buenos Aires. I would expect that a big city is much more cosmopolitan and a melting pot than some other areas. After all, New York City (on the whole), Atlanta, San Francisco, Toronto, Montreal are a lot more accepting than places less cosmopolitan.
