Re: [Goanet]INDIA - CASTE AND THE FUTURE
Am I to understand from the following response that Antonio and Cip are going to decide what the not so logical social doctrines are that need to be erased from our masses, and Antonio is then going to start the process of psychic regeneration? The alternative Antonio suggests are concurrent revolutions where hundreds of thousands of people are purged or cleansed, but all the revolutions he lists were followed by decades of misery for the masses? --- Antonio Menezes [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Mr. Cip Fernandes, many thanks for your reaction (may 24th). Of course, i could start the process of psychic regeneration of our masses, but i think, the job will require, at least, an effort lasting for a couple of centuries so as to erase the palimpsest of layers upon layers of not so logical social doctrines which were accumulated on top of each other during the last 30 centuries. Or it could be done even quicker, but then it would require the following type of revolutions to happen concurrently: 1. The French revolution 2. The Lenin's revolution in Russia 3.

All men-made things in this world, including human journey to the Moon and 9/11 New York incident started with a SINGLE THOUGHT in a human MIND. Similarly, the THOUGHT of 'Providing leadership for the task of psychic regeneration of our masses' started in your MIND. Whether you call yourself so-called 'elites' or not, is another matter. I consider you are as good as to those so-called 'elites', if not better. In addition you do not have any HOG syndrome. I understand and totally agree with your statement that The difficult task of restoring the psyche of our masses to a healthy level thus improving the quality of our people. I consider that you have perfectly perfect capacity for carrying this so-called difficult task. What I do NOT understand is What stops you to START this task? Cip -Original Message- Antonio Menezes Sent: 19 May 2005 05:54 Can our so called 'elites' provide leadership for the task of psychic regeneration of our masses? I doubt very much, since I am of the opinion that our 'elites' whether they are RSS wallahs, Congressmen, Communists ( i.e. the top echelon) are in a way self afflicted victims of the HOG syndrome.HOG stands for hallucination of grandeur andhallucination means perception of 'superiority' that has no reality whatsoever outside one's mind. The difficult task of restoring the psyche of our masses to a healthy level thus improving the quality of our people has to be undertaken of war footing, otherwise we shall have to look with apprehension, this time, towards the north east and the south east. antonio

Actually, the crux of the problem is treating the above people as the elite. They are not the elite. They have contributed very little to the advancement of our society. They have thrived by being parasitic to our goodwill and gullibility. But more importantly, the tacit or explicit recognition of the need for an elite class in any society is misguided, whether it is based on wealth, intellect, knowledge or inheritance. Only individual achievements should be recognized. Only individuals should be respected and used as role models for their excellence, irrespective of which social class and walk of life they belong.

[Goanet]INDIA : CASTE AND THE FUTURE
Our media is full of news that India, in future, is going to be the third largest industrial power after the U.S. and China and that, in addition, we shall enjoy the advantage of having the largest pool of working age population as compared to the other two, which is indeed a very good feel factor. Let us consult our history. India is not going to be rich for the first time in her lifetime, period.Her past prosperous times had attracted the Aryans, the Turks, the Mughals from the north west and the British came from the south west.. There is , however, one societal factor that has not changed in all these past 30 centuries or so.The same upper class forms 5% of our population, about 25% is the same middle class and the rest 70% are our poor masses whose lives were and still are so miserable that they could not have cared less whether they were ruled by the Aryans, Turks, Mughals,or the British. So how do we go about changing the hereditary proportion and bring the majority of our masses , at least, to the level of the lower middle classes ? Provide them with reasonable income and better health and eductional facilities ? These elementary measures can and do work wonders in the sub-Saharan Africa; but in India we require an additional requisite of providing relief to the much battered psyche of our masses, which today stand totally deformed as a result of having been subjected from generations to countless generations to slander and calumny, the psychological weapons that were so strictly and insensately implemented by the dharmic rules and regulations. Can our so called 'elites' provide leadership for the task of psychic regeneration of our masses? I doubt very much, since I am of the opinion that our 'elites' whether they are RSS wallahs, Congressmen, Communists ( i.e. the top echelon) are in a way self afflicted victims of the HOG syndrome.HOG stands for hallucination of grandeur andhallucination means perception of 'superiority' that has no reality whatsoever outside one's mind.
