The reasons it would be important would be the same or very similar 
reasons it was important to question teaching intelligent design in 
our schools. In other words, it raises the question 'should Hindutva 
based initiatives be allowed to teach Vedic Intelligent Design in the 
public school system of India?' Of course that's probably already 
what's happening  at schools like the Maharishi School for the Age of 
Enlightenment--it's just that they hide behind buzz-phrases like "The 
Science of Creative Intelligence". And of course as anyone who has 
heard even a fraction of the 100's of hours of rambling on about 
Quantum mechanics, the Rig Veda, Vedic literature, the sequential 
unfolding of creation, etc., etc. should be able to immediately sense 
the relevance. A Christian Intelligent Design curriculum is doing 
basically the same thing, except they're not waxing Quantum on Agnim 
ile...but using Bereshith/Genesis instead. You say Rig Veda, I say 
Genesis...it's a similar spiel.
