Can Howard Roark survive in the Indian society?

According to the philosophy of Ayn Rand, Howard Roark's character is that of an egoist who is self dependent, believes in himself,has his own thoughts about architecture n like. It's all good to hear but how can a man ,take anyone live in the indian society with a don't care attitude. Can anyone be insensitive to relationships and their expectaions. Even a howard Raork from birth is compelled to change in his adult life.
When you want relationships you've to hate them or love them but can't ignore them.No one 'll let you ignore them as if that they don't exist in that person's life.A silent,reserved, self dependent,character is forced to change to a more diplomatic kind of character.As far as fountainhead is concerned the objectivism about self ego and other like unite and rule are pretty much interesting and appealing. It's more easy said than done. It'll be difficult to practice and have such kind of policies in the real life.
Howard Raork was more an orphan in the story so it never mattered whether he gives a damn about what others say. On a more internal and personal point of view in a person's life who is just another ordinary person in this world chances of him surving like howard roark are less. though you might say Peter Keating is the one i'm talking about. But there are people who are in between howard roark and peter keating who struggle like dominique who understands both roads in life but have to choose the ordinary one.
Circumstances make people decide what they want at that point in life.Toohey's Unite and rule policies were absolutely mind blowing. It is the most happening concept in our society.shouldn't be commenting more on that. Oh well atleast we can try to put some of the policies of ayn rand i mean our own individuvalism and proceed in life choosing the best path shown by god..Everything happens for a reason they say but everything happens for the weak.the weak take more can never be denied and everything happens for a reason can never be a consolation.
