Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 from TORTURED SOULS CREATE TWISTED HISTORY by Navaratna S. Rajaram There is truth in this. Lord Macaulay who created the modern Indian education system, explicitly stated that he wanted Indians to turn against their own history and tradition and take pride in being loyal subjects of their British masters. Macaulay made no secret of his intentions. In a famous letter to his father he wrote: “Our English schools are flourishing wonderfully. The effect of this education on the Hindus is prodigious. ...It is my belief that if our plans of education are followed up, there will not be a single idolator among the respectable classes in Bengal thirty years hence. To this end, a new discipline called Indology, and whole new tribe of scholarship called Indologists were created and supported by the British. The most famous of them all was a German by name Friedrich Max Muller who saw the opportunity and made a grand success of it by working for the British according to Macaulay’s plan. The plan was to translate, edit and publish Indian classics—especially the Vedas—in such a manner that it would turn the educated people of India against their history and tradition and make them take pride in being ruled by the British. . Max Muller is still regarded as a great lover of India and her civilization but the reality is that he was a British agent paid to give a derogatory interpretation of the Vedas. We have his word for it. Writing to his wife in 1866 he observed: “It [the Rigveda] is the root of their religion and to show them what the root is, I feel sure, is the only way of uprooting all that has sprung from it during the last three thousand years.” Two years later he also wrote the Duke of Argyle, then acting Secretary of State for India: "The ancient religion of India is doomed."

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Two things to do: 1. Throw away that spstem and replace it by a vedic educaion ssytem where we learn the culture correctly and live by it. 2. Enfoce that system upon all the citizens. no madresas. Why not some one design a system for pak and S.A. (or for the internam muslims) to help them give up the barbaric idology? jai sri krishna! -madhav Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
