Shocking!!! Is it???

This is an address by Lord Macaulay to the British Parliament in 1835. This person is credited with "reforming" the Indian Education System.. He is the "father" of the current education system in India - I will call this person a "predator" rather than a father...

Lord Macaulay's education system still exists .... just look at the class system that exists between English speakers and non English speakers.... as for the law of the land it still is in English... sorry legalese.. not even the common folk of england can understand that language... yet India has to live with a British court system and banking system .... you have to research money theory and debt currency system to see how strong a hold the British/Roman Empire still has on our system .... what is your rupee backed by... the note in your pocket what are the Central Bank, RBI ... they not owned by the government: they're private institutions... franchises of the central banking system created by the Rothschild... who are the true rulers of Britain... same goes with the bar associations ... franchises of the Temple Bar in the city of London..
Consider another quote from one of Lord Macaulay's speeches available at the link below. Its called The Macaulay's Minute on Indian Education. Read this piece of garbage if you have no other work to do AND you understand Victorian English pretty well(another sign of the dominance of your life by the British long after they're gone...)

"...We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern; a class of persons, Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, and in intellect. To that class we may leave it to refine the vernacular dialects of the country, to enrich those dialects with terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature, and to render them by degrees fit vehicles for conveying knowledge to the great mass of the population..."

I don't know if the picture up there is authentic or fake... It may well be a cook-up by some naive jingoist Indian...
But then!!! As Dheeraj, one of my friends said to me once, "Buddy!!! Everyone knows what the truth is... Every Indian knows the truth about his heritage... But who cares???"
For my answer I'd rather quote a short story narrated to me by Rashmin..

Somebody's dog was howling in pain in the middle of the night.. Everybody's sleep was getting disturbed... A neighbor finally walked up to his house, knocked the door and asked, "What's wrong with your dog man??"
The man replied, "Oh nothing!! He is just sitting on a pin..."
The neighbor asked in amazement, "Why doesn't he get up then??!!!!"
The man calmly observed, "Maybe its not hurting enough......"

We all know what we have inherited... But we all want to be somebody else... A ghost of ourselves.....
Everyone knows they're chasing a non-existent mirage.... That the chase is never going to end... Its not going to get them anything... Its not going to get them anywhere.........
Yet!!! We chase.... As Bau says,

"India is a democracy... Everybody has their right to ignorance!!!"
;-)

The BIG Question is.... Why don't we accept this fact??? The answer is simple...

It requires guts to do that!!!!

If you we simply looked back and (honestly)tried to find what is it in this chase that has given us long term happiness?
It definitely gives a heady feel initially.... but horribly screws up our lives later on......
For a record, "diseases" such as depression, heart attack, anxiety were never known to traditional Indian doctors..... They all popped out of nowhere in the latter half of the last century when India began its "industrial revolution"... Coincidentally, the same phenomenon was observed in the west as well.... albeit a bit earlier since the "industrial revolution" began way back in the west....
Now someone may say, "Are you against industrialization by any chance??"
My answer: "No! I'm only against exploitation...."

We are all like the dog-sitting-on-a-pin, but we don't dare to move, living with the ingrained insecurities that we're brought up with... We live with a notion of helplessness and incapability drilled deep into our psychologies.....

"If there are corrupt politicians, how can I change it??"
"I'm scared of my Boss... I need a job!"

Man!!!! Such asses we are.... If we can "elect" a politician, can't we remove him too????
Are you sooo worthless, you won't find a J-O-B(Just-another-Boss!!)??? Why don't you commit suicide then?? Its the easier way out...

I could go on and on about the victim consciousness we live with.... But have to save to something good for the part two of this serious coming soon....

Watch the coming blogs for even more shocking truths about the history of India...

...A historical blasphemy cooked-up to appease the racist views of British Missionaries who doubled up as historians supposed to "educate the world with the truth about India...."!!!!
