INDIA IS 100 YEARS BEHIND CHINA; 300 YEARS BEHIND EUROPE


It is well beyond anyone's doubt that a society is a confluence of various factors. Technological achievements and social development are the most important factors that determine the status of a society. Technological achievement is not merely about the introduction of new machines and new technologies. It is all about how human beings can liberate their creative energies. If we are not able to replace human labour with machine in every field of activity we cannot claim ourselves to be a technologically advanced society.

The second most important factor that determines the status of a society is its social development. The structural pattern of the society as well as the belief systems of the people show the extent of social development in a society.

When we consider these factors we can understand that China is 100 years ahead of India and Europe is 300 years ahead of India. This interesting but shocking revelation is made in "What after Modi Sarkar?" - the book. The book claims that what China achieved in the year 1912 has not been achieved by India even to this day. The year 1912 marked the end of the empire and the establishment of the republic in China. But internally the Republic marked a great social change in the history of China. The development in 1912 dealt a heavy blow on the feudal social structure of China. Before 1912 China had practised a kind of caste system in which the ruling Manju race kept them away from the rest of the society. But in the year 1912  China ended the feudal marriage restrictions and began the process of establishing an inclusive society. In this regard India has not surpassed China in what the latter had achieved in the year 1912. India with its stinking caste system is more than 100 years behind China in its  social development.

Further, Communism was not mere an ideological system for China. For China Communism was a practical belief that would put an end to the old beliefs that sustained the old society. When India used the tantrum of secularism to persist with the old beliefs China at once struck at the roots of the old beliefs. India miserably failed to liberate the people from the sorcery of the priesthood which China had achieved with her communist advancement.

The whole of Europe achieved these developements much before. What came to be known as reformation and separation of the church from the state achieved a great social revolution in Europe. India is still struggling with its feudal social structure as well as the archaic belief systems in spite of the presence of all the modern technological devices. If technology is not used as an instrument of social advancement it cannot bring boons to any society. Excerpts from the book follow.

"There are many historical examples of the kind of repairing of torn up villages and cities about which we have understood above. There were many powerful Buddhist monasteries in China during the period of the rise of Communism under the leadership of Mao. The monasteries owned huge properties [like the temple lands or wakf properties or the church lands in India] and they, by their tactics of indoctrination by priesthood, maintained an overwhelming control over the lives of the people around them [just as the pandits, the mullahs and the priests in India do]. The Buddhist monasteries and their priesthood in China caused serious troubles on the way of building a modern state in China, exactly the way the likes of All India Muslim Personal Law Board Wakf Board, Church institutions, RSS, VHP and the temple priesthood are doing in India. As an ordinary solution to this extraordinary problem, the communists under Mao destroyed the monasteries and confiscated their properties. Today, China is far ahead of India in its human development and technological advancement, because it was able to liberate its people from intellectual slavery sustained by priestly indoctrination."

EXODUS: FROM PARTITION TO PANDEMIC

Anyone who takes an impartial view of historical events cannot ever question the genuinity of suffering inflicted by the mass exodus during the partition of the subcontinent in 1947. Records variously mention about 10 to 12 million people as affected by the gruesome man-made tragedy in the recent history which was, however, unavoidable. Both India and Pakistan, in one way or another, washed their hands off the responsibility of the human tragedy, because there was a third player who could be held responsible for the cold-blooded acts of murder committed during the partition in 1947. After seven decades of this gruesome  man-made  tragedy. we are witnessing a mass exodus of the scale that cannot have a parallel in the recent history, save the exodus during partition. But, if we feign ignorance about it, or a section of media underplays it as irrelevant, or a section of the political  establishment bypasses it as a political conspiracy, it cannot stand to the tes...

1984 SIKH GENOCIDE: RELlGIOUS BIGOTRY OR ECONOMIC FALLOUT?

" It is painful to recollect the events that followed the assassination of Indira Gandhi in 1984. The Sikh genocide of 1984, as it is called, however, is a subject of controversy, especially due to  the different dimensions in the conflict. The media and the contemporary literature widely referred to it as a shocking upsurge of religious bigotry because we are habituated to look at the events through a narrow and faulty vision which has been gifted to us by those intellectuals with long-dead colonial mindset. In this regard the book "What after Modi Sarkar?" comes up with new bold revealations. The author points out at the economic imbalance in the aflected areas, especially in upmarket areas of various cities, where the Sikh community maintained a willfully sustained economic imperialism. The corresponding deprivation felt by the rest of the communities powered the event in 1984. In fact, it was an event waiting to happen and the assassination of Indira Gan...

WHAT AFTER MODI SARKAR? ALTERNATIVES BEYOND NEHRUVIAN SOCIALISM & HINDUTVA NATIONALISM

AVAILABLE ON GOOGLE PLAY This book is the first of the three books which come under the series POLITICAL PROPHESY. This book deals with the topic of ongoing political evolution in the Indian subcontinent, which, of course, has undeniable relations with its not yet fully discovered past and seemingly uncertain future. The second book in the series deals with the nature of an unavoidable socio-political upheaval that cannot fail to grapple the subcontinent in the not so distant future. The third book explores the emerging new facets of feudalism in what is presumably a digital age civilization with artificial intelligence and knowledge economy. This book is not intended to sabotage or tarnish Modi Sarkar, in the sense that criticism does not mean any effort to sabotage or tarnish something. This book must be seen as a sincere enquiry of an honest citizen who thinks about the future of India. On a very moderate scale the author of this book intents to look forward to the uncertain future ...
