humble background = unscrupulous person.

This ‘ass’ seems to be full of sh#t

In a recent issue of ‘Kumudam Jodidam’ a Tamil astrological and spiritual weekly, a lady from Kanyakumari has written to say that her marriage is delayed by the activities of the christians.

She says that even astrologers have been converted by the church.

Whenever she approaches an astrologer he tries to brainwash her into getting converted to christianity and tells her that he will arrange her marriage immediately.

She has also described the vile propaganda of the evangelists rubbishing Hindu Gods and Goddesses amongst the unlettered people and sowing seeds of doubts and hate in their minds to make them ripe for conversion.

Some time back some one had written about one of the most ingenious games of the church of converting ‘Sthapathis’ or experts in Temple building and ‘Aagama Sastra’ with a view to put a spoke in temple construction!

If this is not diabolical what else is?

..these same villages, we enjoyed in the decades prior, have become battle zones for conversion, Christian missionaries converting the guileless Hindus right under the Hindu noses. The proselytizers have built huge incongruent whitewashed churches, that scream for attention, in every emerald village spewing out disquieting sermons in local dialects drowning the golden sunsets in their flood lights, obscuring ..

Whether it is Annadaverapeta, Ragolapalli, Tallapudi or Velangi, all familiar comfort zones for us in the past have been reduced into circuses at night with large food lit assembles and amplified singing forced on the sleeping all night long.

The indoctrination is vigorous, day and night with brainwashings that render their own families, who manage to remain Hindus, the un-converted ones, as evildoers, devil worshippers, hell bound, idol worshippers, and witchcraft practitioners. Hindus are being subjected to various types of desecrating reductionism in their own country, with no consequences for this subversion.

Deracinated indians now hold different views.

Oh yeah. and ignorant indians like you think themselves soooo spiritual and others not? Tell me what is your occupation and what have you done that makes you so spiritual in comparison with others? How are you different from those Christians in that you think those who do not agree with you are not “spiritual”? As for calling people “low class” –this does describe most of the East Indian Company people who were just out to make a buck–Warren Hastings came from a very humble background and one can just imagine such a unscrupulous person getting hold of the wealth of Bengal suddenly–he was “low class’ because he was unscrupulous and enlightened people like Edmund Burke put him on trial in England for corruption. And any Indian who exploits Africans is also “low class”–Don’t know why its wrong to use this phrase…anyone who behaves in a nasty fasion is “low class”–does not have to do with if they are rich, or wealthy or educated or not.
Moreover, all cultures were tribal at one point. When one reads about the crudades, just read the descriptions of the Northmen by people in the Middle East–how they did not shower and such and how unvicilized they were in the eyes of the Syrians and Lebanese, the Northmen became civilized in three generations in the Middle East. I do not believe that anyone is “inferior” but reather people are in different stages of development–some like the aborigines in Australia lived in the Stone Age, there are also a lot of tribals in India, who are content to live in the forest as tribals and do not want to be disturbed. Now cultures interact and people adopt different forms of life and stop being tribals–in the case of American Indians, their way of life was wiped out. In the case of Tibetans, cultural assimilation and change was gradual and did not destroy their way of life–this is a result of Buddhist culture which spread peacefully everywhere. However, it is insane to argue that a hunting gathering culture is the same as a highly literate one–and by saying “not the same” I am saying in different stages, and not accusing one of being inferior. The “tribal” when presented with the same opportunity for culture develops–this has been the case everywhere in human history–the Greeks and Romans gave civilization to other Europeans at one point who also were not civilized in the way Greeks and Romans were–The Romans thought they were bringing civilization into Britian. Sometimes, culture does not spread peacefully through gradual cultural syncretism but through force–this happened in the Americas–Regardless there is not reason not to accept qualitative differences amongst peoples and cultures–just as an “educated” man is “different” from an “uneducated” one–one is not saying that the man without “education” is inferior as a human, but that he has not had the set of opportunities to be educated, and given the right set of opportunities he will be educated. And no Incognito, I do not think you are “spiritual”–a “spiritual” person is at peace with his surroundings and is not full of venom and jealously like you, nor do they think they are know it alls.

Having seen the minorities in all southern states, I think they are at their most aggressively anti-Hindu and economically dominant in Kerala (where they are not really minorities). In TN, the dravidian politics have weakened Hindu dharma to a large extent, and it needs a charismatic mass leader like Rajnikant (just giving an example) on the Hindu side. The focus of a dharmic revival should be on these two states.

Your question actually needs a long comment and detailed analysis.I assume there are people more qualified than I to speak about Kerala and TN.If not, I will revert to this topic at a later time.Have to rush now. Thanks.
