Gagu,

endi nee lolli madhyalo?

N_U,

previously it used to be explicit in every society...and these days it is implicit.....but it is always hierarchical....we can always discuss the tweaks that will not allow the powerful/rich not rob the disadvantaged/poor......

but I doubt there is any ideal system in the world.....I understand you don't like Brahminism.........as much as you try, it can't be eradicated.....actors change.....today's powerul cud be tomorrows beggars and vice-versa......few cosmetic changes/tweaks here and there to the practices.....technological/industrial developments might confer a few more comforts to the people at large....

but but but the structure is always in place.....either explicit or implicit......one way to escape this for people is to stop their progeny.....otherwise NO ESCAPE from the concept though....

oka pani cheyyi...."Hyper Tiger Wisdoms" ani google search kottu.....read his rants..........and may be you will understand...

how is it different then and now? therez always few people at the top and a lot of the working class....and some will be marginalized........

and that too this is by your extrapolation...not real facts/statistics.....I understand there were customs of untouchability.......other than that, it is still few people are rich and others are working...

you know the 80-20 rule right......check it out....that can be applicable to any society or any society will be tending towards it....

However, the colonialist that he was, India can thank Lord Macaulay for its modernity. He scripted the Indian Penal Code. He made no convenient adjustment to local religions. He wanted to build an education system secular and scientific, free of age-old prejudices and at par with the Western world.

It is a general misconception that this is a part of Lord McCauley's
speech to British Parliament because Lord McCauley arrived in India on
10th June 1834 and returned to England in early 1838. If in 1835 he
was in India then how could he have delivered a speech in the British
Parliament. Let me also add that he arrived in India by a 3 month long
journey by ship so there is no chance that the Lord made a quick visit
to England (British Airways did not exist at that time) for delivering
this speech.

I researched a little bit on this quote and this is what i found, there are many sources on the web that says that this quote is fake. and is the creation of Hindu Nationalists.

This is by far..is the most detailed

Lord Macaulay's Quote on India

A friend has recently forwarded me a quote from Lord Macaulay's speech in the British Parliament on 2nd February 1835. I reproduce the quote below:

"I have traveled across the length and breadth of India and I have not seen one person who is a beggar, who is a thief. Such wealth I have seen in this country, such high moral values, people of such calibre, that I do not think we would ever conquer this country, unless we break the very backbone of this nation, which is her spiritual and cultural heritage, and, therefore, I propose that we replace her old and ancient education system, her culture, for if the Indians think that all that is foreign and English is good and greater than their own, they will lose their self-esteem, their native self-culture and they will become what we want them, a truly dominated nation."

The email requested me to forward me to every indian I know. I was tempted, but there were two oddities about this quote. First, the language, which appeared too modern. Second, this was far too obvious and too cynical for Macaulay, who was an apologist of the empire, and believed in its high moral purpose. The quote was obviously a fraud.

I was, however, tempted to check the source of this quote [I take this blog seriously!]. I found this useful article on http://koenraadelst.bharatvani.org/articles/hinduism/macaula y.html. The article basically says that there is no authoritative source for this quote, except Hindu Nationalist magazines and sources, though this is widely circulated and believed. The author also claims that it is unlikely that such a speech was made, as Macaulay would have been in India on that date.

Then I found more information on Macaulay's speech in http://books.google.com/books?id=0kSMosMLUMwC&pg=PA169&lpg=P A169&dq=lord+macaulay+2nd+february+1835+india&source=web&ots =wmjOO95mYR&sig=Q6U0FlzLCJH3Tl21qCOIqva-oy8#PPA174,M1 which told me that Macaulay addressed the parliament on about Indian education. [The date was 10th July 1833] This speech is usually referred together with his famous Minutes on Indian Education, which was indeed dated 2nd February 1835 where he was arguing in favour of using English as the medium of education in India, and made his oft-quoted comment that 'a single shelf of good european library was worth the whole native literature of India and Arabia'. However, what is overlooked, rather conveniently, is this comment contained the same document: Are we to keep the people of India ignorant in order that we may keep them submissive? Or do we think that we can give them knowledge without awakening ambition? Or do we mean to awaken ambition and to provide it with no legitimate vent? Who will answer any of these questions in the affirmative? Yet one of them must be answered in the affirmative, by every person who maintains that we ought permanently to exclude the natives from high office. I have no fears. The path of duty is plain before us: and it is also the path of wisdom, of national prosperity, of national honor.[http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1833macaulay-india.html]

Clearly, Macaulay was saying something directly opposite to what has been quoted as his!

There is indeed a clear reason why this distorted quote was invented. This is indeed RSS and its followers, who put words on Macaulay. I now know RSS even referred to English speaking Indians as 'Children of Macaulay'! The quote above, passed on by my trusting friend, is a spoof, RSS trying to interpret what Macaulay might have meant. [I am sure those who did it knew that Macaulay also put Arabic on the same boat as Sanksrit]

http://casi.ssc.upenn.edu/india/iit_Prasad2.htm contains another excellent article, which drew my attention to another of famous Macaulay quotes, contained in his Minutes on Education - We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions whom we govern; a class of persons, Indian in blood and colour, but English in taste, in opinions, in morals, and in intellect. However, this article also attempts to explain why Macaulay is such a hate figure among the Hindu nationalists.

India is one of those countries with a great past and a promising future - and a present made up of unending conflicts between the two. No wonder Lord Macaulay has been invoked again, by email! And, no wonder it is a spoof, suiting some political Indian's view of the world. However, the colonialist that he was, India can thank Lord Macaulay for its modernity. He scripted the Indian Penal Code. He made no convenient adjustment to local religions. He wanted to build an education system secular and scientific, free of age-old prejudices and at par with the Western world. While his comment on Indian and Arabian literature was certainly ignorant, he played his part in building the modern India we are all so proud of.

Is this authentic brother?....may be not...I can't find any references.....

But still the question remains.....if India is such a poor country, why would so many find ways to travel and conquer India?...how come its GDP was the highest in the world during those centuries?

may be its not as bad as it is projected anukovachchugaaa...
