Ever wondered why some of fellow Indian citizens behave like an aliens? Like retard PK in recent movie who childishly questions everything?
Here are the roots.
MACAULAY’S CHILDREN is the mind disorder of which we all are afflicted to the different degrees due to our exposure to Education system designed by MACAULAY to produce slaves. The severe syndrome is not just the love of the West or of English (which in itself may be praiseworthy) but rather a blind contempt for India’s own history and traditions. This hateful contempt is a corrosive acid that destroys some of the mind’s complex instrumentation. It leads to mindblindness, that shows up in behavior, even unrelated to things Indian.
“To Zachary Macaulay, 12 October 1836
My dear Father,
….In a few months, I hope indeed in a few weeks, we shall send up the penal code to government. We have got rid of the punishment of death except in cases of aggravated treason and wilful murder. We shall also get rid indirectly of everything that can properly be called slavery in India. There will remain civil claims on particular people for particular services, which claims may be enforced by civil action. But no person will be entitled, on the plea of being the master of another, to do anything to that other which it would be an offence to do to a freeman.
Our English schools are flourishing wonderfully. We find it difficult, indeed at some places impossible, to provide instruction for all who want it. At the single town of Hoogley fourteen hundred boys are learning English. The effect of this education on the Hindoos is prodigious. No Hindoo who has received an English education ever continues to be sincerely attached to his religion. Some continue to profess it as a matter of policy. But many profess themselves pure Deists, and some embrace Christianity. The case with Mahometans is very different. The best-educated Mahometan often continues to be a Mahometan still. The reason is plain. The Hindoo religion is so extravagantly absurd that it is impossible to teach a boy astronomy, geography, natural history, without completely destroying the hold which that religion has on his mind. But the Mahometan religion belongs to a better family. It has very much in common with Christianity; and even where it is most absurd, it is reasonable when compared with Hindooism. It is my firm belief that, if our plans of education are followed up, there will not be a single idolater among the respectable classes in Bengal thirty years hence. And this will be effected without any efforts to proselytise, without the smallest interference with religious liberty, merely by the natural operation of knowledge and reglection. I heartily rejoice in this prospect….”
Unless we correct the way we educate our kids, there is no hope. This system is designed to generate aliens and stupid protagonists.
