Surveys, Media, Colonization and Proselytization, Chapter Nine



Degeneration of All Services

British officials at the grade of District Collectors and Deputy Collectors were instructed to submit written reports as part of the survey of 1822-25. Reports generally stated that the general degeneration of education and other services. It also showed the overall degeneration of the country. Here are two examples from those reports. One District Collector stated that, out of the 533 institutions for education, “now existing in this district”, not even one “now derives any support from the State’; but that ‘there is no doubt, that in former times, especially under the Hindoo Governments very large grants, both in money and in land, were issued for the support of learning”. (1) Some reports also stated that “the degeneration of education ‘is ascribable to the gradual but general impoverishment of the country’; that ‘the means of the manufacturing classes have been greatly diminished by the introduction of our own European manufactures’; that ‘the transfer of the capital of the country from the native governments and their officers, who liberally expanded it in India, to Europeans, restricted by law from employing it even temporarily in India, and daily draining it from the land, has likewise tended to this effect’; that ‘in many villages where formerly there were schools, there are now none’; and that ‘learning, though it may proudly decline to sell its stores, had never flourished in any country except under the encouragement of the ruling power, and the countenance and support once given to science in this part of India has long been withheld.” There were more reports likewise.

It was also revealed that the poor children were being taught free of charge. Some officials stated that in some places where there was no schools or colleges supported by public contribution, instruction in many such places were gratuitously afforded and the poorer class obtained their education free. “Poorer children were supported entirely by charity,” received from the instructor and from the inhabitants of the villages. (2) But it was done with in each community. The overall degeneration of the economy made that also difficult and thus a total reduction of local education was achieved.

Even though the survey revealed the glory of the Education System and the land; the good side of the ‘country of occupation’ was kept secret and a counter propaganda that we did not have much of an Education System was propagated by the British. It shows that doing survey and hiding the facts and misleading the general public and the future generations, to gain control over them and sustain it further is nothing new to the Westerners and the Semitic religious groups.

The Missionary organizations conduct classes on how to recruit others into their religion, especially people of “Good old bhAratham”; because, we are their main target now; as they have done the destruction of the other cultures and people already. In these classes they are given instructions on “How to convert Hindus/Indians”. They are trained to start with praising people whom they want to recruit. In this case, they shower praise for “Hinduism”, “Buddhism” “Jainism”, “Sikhism” and the country. The aim is to get into the confidence of people and become friends. The next step is to slowly condition them. This is where media play a very major role now. The Missionaries and their aids shall become mentors of people and may even make some of the targeted population their mentors too. Once in confidence of the target they slowly and carefully try to inject depression into them by occasionally bringing up the negatives, real and imagined by them. For this they use the misinterpreted theories of JAthi, VaRNiyam, ManusmRithi, Bhagavat Geetha and so on some of which was done by our own people. This is where the surveys and its by-products such as “paid news, documentaries and Special Reports are used. Wrong and edited interpretations also are used here. Along with them, they try creating an inferiority complex with theories such as “Toddy Tapers”, “Untouchability” brought up repeatedly.

To discredit the people and their leaders, some may even turn around and accuse people of sexual abuse and other criminal acts on their former mentors. They may also seduce people into sexual activity before doing this to make proof of illegal or immoral activity. There are examples for these kinds of incidents with even fabricated videos and photographs. Writing books is also very often seen. Journalists of our land ‘flying out’ to interview the accusers to benefit themselves and their friends; and may be their mentors and/or employers are also seen.

Sure our people create enough incidents for them to exaggerate by doing similar kind of illegal, illicit and self-destructing activities too; often under the cover of saffron cloths. And our people, the so-called “Hindus” keep on congregating to those so-called “God men” like Santhosh Madhavan. They also gave them serine title of “Swami”, when it is only to be given to a person of highest divine caliber like Shree Narayana Guru or Chattampi SwAmikaL.

The training for the missionaries is now even done in our own “Good old bhAratham”. They have course or courses for missionaries in the local institutions run by missionaries, which even grants a PhD at the completion. Some of these course is conducted with UGC grant. That means the people of the country are paying to train missionaries to get evangelized. Is it not digging own graves? (3)

It should be noted that the destruction done by our own people is equally or even more deplorable as we are the victims of our own actions; victim and perpetrators both are the same, “WE”. Without a full stop of these actions of self-destruction the future is doomed and it is hoped that all the leaders and organizations wakeup and act now. It is a good sign that the VHP chief Praveen Togadia will embark on a nationwide tour to persuade upper caste Hindus to make friends with at least one Dalit family, among other things, and work towards eradicating untouchability from the country. During this tour Dr. Togadia plans to reach out to 56,000 caste and sub-caste associations and have them pass resolutions against untouchability. (4)
