The West has skin deep culture. They are highly arrogant with colonial mind set. They evolved a free market model for their development. West tells us that it is source of modernity, and its model of development is superior to all other models in world. They have been forcing their model in the rest of world. This Western model lacks sustainability. In this model you reduce everything to contract sans culture, sociology, relationship, philosophy. UN was forced to issue charter in1951, for underdeveloped countries, “If you want to develop , give up your philosophy and way of life”. Even President Truman endorsed this charter long back. They have been trying their best to demolish Indian way of life to promote Capitalism and individualism. A theory has been put forward telling past was wrong. The West is keen for short-term gains. They spend too much time on short term gains, leaving them no time to think about future. Globalization started in 1991. West experimented with idea of exporting democracy to Muslim world. This resulted in chaos, unnecessary wars and rise of Islamic fundamentalism around globe. This has made world volatile and unstable This Western model not only has created unstable economy but also made families dependent on state. Now there is a rethink of this model. West now thinking on two fronts:--1.” To what extent you can have individualism. 2. To what extent you can discount society, culture, religion etc”.
This Western individualism is in tune with protestant ideology. Interestingly both capitalism and communism have no place for religion or moral values. What exists for them is financial morality. Communism went further, called women should be nationalized. Capitalism aligned itself with democracy, but communism became oppressive. Both communism and capitalistic models are trying their best to universalize their respective models. Communism collapsed in 1989 and this Western model is on brink. With failure of above two models UN in 2010 adopted a resolution, “Development with culture”. India’s dark ages were when they were ruled by Muslims and Britishers. Before this dark age India contributed nearly 1/3rd to world GDP. India v/s West today:- Indian fugitives to an large extent are responsible for problems we face today. They attack our culture and want to make us believe that India is underdeveloped only because of its premetive cultural practices. These fugitives readily find allies in Western universities, Western press. Sole job of Western media/intellectuals is to undermine India’s cultural heritage. They use these fugitives to achieve their objective. West does not want India to rise in power because that will undermine their supremacy in world. Western universities are coming up with a doctrine,” Critical caste theory”. They are equating plight of African Americans with Dalits of India. When social hierarchy is in every society why single out Dalits of India? They are doing this deliberately to demolish India and declare that India is racist country. In this they are totally supported by Church and Muslim world. Both see rise of Indian culture a danger to their ideology. See the hypocrisy of West, on one hand they want to cancel Indian culture but on other hand acknowledge that ancient Indian culture has contributed a lot to mankind. West takes pride in Science and Math yet do not acknowledge that both originated from India. This fact they want us not to know. The West is intolerant to culture and talks of absolute truthfulness of Western practicing ideology. Western scholars want India to be punished for “Nonexistent racism”. Such is prejudice of West towards India. These writers want MNC’S in India to recruit on three basis—“social justice ,Environment and governance”. It is interesting to note that not only USA exports technology to India but also exports its policies, dictated by prejudiced intellectuals. Western intellectuals call Indian Techie’s cartelists and Brahmins racists. It is ironical that some Indian billionaires fund some of these wokeism projects. It wants India to take extra care of minorities and Dalits when at home their govts care too hoots for minorities, be it Africans, Hispanics and Native Americans. It talks of human right violations globally while at home they have different laws and attitude towards blacks/Hispanics and Natives. One can see violent clashes every other day in West but one single violence in India makes headlines for days in Western media. Minorities in India especially Muslims have so many rights which they don’t have in Muslim world, yet we hear every other day in West that minorities in India not treated well. Western govts are dead silent on minority atrocities in Pakistan and other Muslim countries. This shows total bias and prejudice of West towards India. These people want India not to develop and want to continue to rule it remotely. Indian today :- Government of India of late has come up with idea,” Indian model of development”. Indian intelligentsia, academia, even nation is not prepared for this. There is no India centric thinking on this subject, hence “Indian model of development” not picking up. Indian intellectuals’ brain washed by Western universities are against this model, both economically and politically. Indian constitution did not protect Hindu interests, but minority rights were protected. Ecosystem has been dissuading Hindus from public participation. This has resulted in reducing whole tradition of India into private affair. So, to prepare for Indian model we need to put much larger efforts, than merely studying economics. RBI in 2016 stopped helping micro businesses, influenced by Ecosystem. To correct economy, we have to correct sociology. We need to give serious thought to “Social capital”. Morbi [Gujarat] has highest per capita income in India. Reason—Social capital. Out of population of 2.4 lac , 1.4 lac are employed. They run textile, ceramic, diamond cutting businesses. Despite the two disasters area faced people in the area faced no recession. Reason---Social capital [helping each other financially and physically]. Domestic savings in India are not personal but for family. So in India social security is your family unlike west where you are dependent on Government which in turn is dependent on market. There is even caste and economic relationship in India which also is helpful. India needs to explain its way of life, goal of life. We need to develop link in philosophy right down to how we live. Imagine 6.68 lac villages in India with just 12800 police stations. This shows crime rate in India very low compared to western world. We need to tell the world about our functioning model—” Family, Culture, Dharma integrated with economy”. In our educational institutions one year study of our civilization should be made mandatory in India. What is in public domain Indian student does not know. Our institutions still teach us manipulated, distorted historical facts. Indian student needs to know true history, cultural values, and philosophy of life. Just apeing west is disastrous for us and humanity at large. Our educational institutions are still old ways, need to change. Just1% Indians needed to build a sort of civilizational cultural fraternity to promote Indian model. Our so called eco system needs to be changed, educational institutions and businesses need to be involved in this promotion endeavor. Caste and economic relationship have proved boon to Indian economy. Micro businesses which are mainly in villages are real boosters in the economic growth of the country. India with vibrant working democracy coupled with stable government is advantage India. Our economy is not market dependent. Aadhar has helped in digitizing country. Rapid growth in infrastructure , indigenous jio5 G , Emphasis on “Made in India” programmes will give us rapid growth rate. We need to cash on economic crisis faced by G 7. We need to assert and take pride in our civilization. We need to build civilizational alliances with neighboring countries. Conclusion:-- China is a shadow civilization of India. It is also a shadow of America when it comes to technology and economics. China does not know how to integrate two shadows. Confucius constructed human relations but there is no idea of dharma, rituals in Confucius philosophy. India needs to assert its civilization. India’s dark ages were in Muslim and British rule. India controlled 1/3rd of world GDP before dark ages. Scaling down of living in USA will bring doom to China also. We need to articulate our civilization values to the world. USA encourages wokeism globally but does nothing at home to end racism and gun culture. Western democracy lacks cultural identity. Its focus is on consumer civilization and sense enjoyments. Both concepts are detrimental for humanity at large. With down fall of communist model and sliding down of western capitalism, it is high time for India to assert. Today we have a performing economy which needs wide publicity. Indian economy is not market dependent. Indian model is “Family, culture , Dharma integrated with Economy”. It is a Stable model of development which needs to be emphasized. India today is consumer of knowledge, we should be giving knowledge to world at large now. We need to take pride in our cultural values and tell the world its benefits. “Cultural survival guarantees India survival as nation. Mere economic progress will not ensure survival of India as nation”. |
