Global Apartheid: On the historical superiority of the West by Nauman Naqvi · March 21, 2017 http://herald.dawn.com/news/1153700 "Whether we moderns like it or not, no premodern state had ruled on the basis of race, a doctrine and an idea that was and is inextricably tied to the emergence of gora[*] nationalism and progress in the wake of the ‘Enlightenment’. The latter, let us pause and remark here with some emphasis, given how banalised and obvious it has globally become, is a most extraordinary historical periodisation in itself: for in the past, ‘Enlightenment’ would have been characterised of extraordinary, luminous individuals. Now, entire peoples – people to be sure, as white as the light of their self-nominated historical age – are to have become ‘Enlightened,’ no doubt the most remarkable instance of Gora’s ingenious flair for historical self-glorification and sanctification, not to mention of Gora’s genius for inventing a truly diabolically twisted secular metaphysics that makes of (his own) wretched worldly history a theophanic event." *Gora (racial epithet), or gaura, a Hindi and Indo-Aryan word for Europeans or a light-skinned person. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gora On Thu, Mar 23, 2017 at 1:56 AM, A.R.
