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...

SELF-RELIANT INDIA: PROS AND CONS

Self-reliance or to depend on oneself as an idea can become self-contradictory, if we do not shelve into the pros and cons of it, before eulogising it as a matter of policy. No doubt, self-reliance is one of the many factors that determine the status, dignity and respect of a nation among the family of nations-states in the world. A nation that is not self-reliant cannot partake in international relations as an equal partner. Under such situations an unequal trade deal can be imposed on a nation that by circumstances cannot afford to resist it due to lack of self sufficiency. BUY BOOKS OF TAACHAL ONLINE The proponents of self-reliance should also remember that this idea has not fallen on the Earth all on a sudden in the year 2020. India during its plan period generally and during the Fifth Five Year plan period particularly emphasized on self-reliance as a prime policy to ensure self respect to India. Under such an initiative. large scale industries were established to cure India of i...

INDIA DECODED: A HISTORY OF INDIA BEYOND COMMUNAL NARRATIVE

AVAILABLE ON GOOGLE PLAY This book is the first of the three books which come under the series HISTORY UNLEASHED. This book deals with the history of India from its known beginnings to our own times. The second book in the series deals with the history of Europe. The third book explores the history of the world.  This book undertakes to interpret the history of India from the point of view of a logical pattern that explores historical progress on the basis of civilization cycles. We have a number of books that deal with the history of India in the academic domain as well as in the public domain. But most of these works undertake to do the description of various events with reference to chronology. Such kind of historical explorations have left the people of the subcontinent into a confusing realm of intellectual anarchy. The current state of the society in the subcontinent is directly proportional to the chaos in its historical domain.  As against usual chronological descripti...
