( I really don't understand why people exhort to refrain from engaging in critical debates and be satisfied with chanting certain manthras.While somebody claim that everything is said and done on certain topics, and everybody should content with uncritical repetition of certain 'critical' traditions... and show intolerence toward all differences, and even worse, brand everybody referring to certain names as reactionaries... I simply feel like ignoring it.)
1.*Really? and modern?? what kind of discussions take place there in GAndhi's (savarna) raj?* ** Ranju, This is as rediculous as retorting "Really?Modern?" to somebody who say Hindu fundamentalism is modern not, traditional!! the point was, panchayat is a state, umpire, arbitrar, whihc works on hierarchy. Gandhi does not deny decision making within it . Its not that Gandhi stick to statelessness. Its only that his state is small. The moment one come across "modern" or "discussion' why should some (positive) values be ascribed to it? 2. Jenny, on post Chengara scenario, there ofcourse were serius deliberations in the session. ( why are you so intolerent of a debate where about thirty people met -- everybody except two or three were nonacademicians-- and had a live discussion on certain important political issues ? who is Ajay Skaria? Why do you transfer such anger to this sphere?) Nizar observed that Chengara struggle is Gandhian in nature due to the readiness to self injury but the present day state and civil society is more brutal than the British. It doesn't mind even if the struggling people die. Thus here government is resorting to Gandhian method , waiting patiently for the people to change ther mind !! ** --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Green Youth Movement" group.
