‘The power of religion of religion in India is something unimaginable else in the contemporary world. It operates on hundreds of levels, from folk deities like Bhima to the most abstruse and elaborate structures of Hindu theology, each level appropriate to particular social rank or caste. Progressive intellectuals - scientists, industrialists, politicians – in big cities like Bombay and Calcutta rail against it, blaming it for India’s material backwardness, but its waves lap at their very doors.’
The writer had written these in Life, America’s then leading magazine in 1949, under ‘HOLY MAN’ Sri Ramana Maharshi has India’s answer to most of man’s problems.
The writer very well understands the foolishness of the ‘ Progressive intellecuals’ and that’s why he clearly identifies them and does not leave it for reader to guess. The scientists, industrialists, politicians WHO ARE THEY? The products of the MacCaulay’s education which corrupted the minds of the Indian brains from 1835.
The writer himself tells about it in another lines in the same article ‘Even India’s political life, with all its forms borrowed from Western democracy, is a series of religious ceremonies to Indian man in the street.’
Today the people of India want to take pride when their so called national newspapers write on ‘Indian democracy’. Where is Indian democracy? In truth as the writer had mentioned, so called Indian democracy is borrowed from Western Democracy since Western world lacked a proper Varna Dharma to let Kings/Shatriyas to rule they were forced to invent/discover what is termed by them as Democracy and with MacCaulay’s 1835 education policies and politics Indians ever since been hypnotized to believe that they have something called ‘Indian Democracy’.
It’s a pity as the scientists, industrialist and politicians who are termed as the progressive intellectuals are unable to understand how they had been over centuries been hypnotized to believe and accept and glorify the MacCaulay’s educational system and to force upon their next future generations. Its high time that these so called progressive intellectuals understand the truth that they have been all along been hypnotized and they had to stop the suicidal path and start to think a best and older method of education which their forefathers had followed in India.
Even if these so called progressive intellectuals are trying to enjoy the new material success they have begun to enjoy because of having made themselves victims to MacCaulay’s education, the Western intellectuals if there are any should sincerely make attempt to remove this hypnotic spell upon rest of Indians. This needs to be done because Indians have to really save the world, unlike the holywood films where Americans are shown to rescue the World.
Indians with their own spiritual genius alone can save the world crisis, if we admit that there is one. And the World has to make efforts to make Indians understand that they come out of this hypnotic education which Indians have sincerely believed to help them since 1835 and continue to this day.
World which is fully aware of the dangers of such education has corrected their educations but fails to admit when it comes to India and instead want to play safely for their own narrow purposes. But by such actions world is actually bringing much disasters to its own societies. Instead, world should tell India to stick to its roots/traditions/religions/culture not only for India’s good but for its own very survival.For India with a billion population can definitely survive with its own sacrifices in millions if required, but rest of World has no chance to survive. This is what the history tells us when we look back how the Vedic Religion once practiced in all places of world have reduced to ruins but in India it continues as ever.
