History Or Fiction

without comments

Prof. Krishna Kumar a noted Historian was entrusted with a project funded by the UN organization to study the subject of History as taught in Pakistan as also India. The focus was mainly on the freedom struggle aspect because we have a common past in this regard. His study reveals Quote- “While the Pakistani texts, for example, depict Gandhi as a Hindu leader, Indian textbooks elevate him to a mythic status. Similarly, while the Pakistani books project Jinnah as a semi-divine visionary, the Indian ones refer to him with resentment.”-Unquote. [His book: Prejudice and Pride] As part of their divide & rule policy the British had planted a great-lie, soon after gaining a foot-hold in this country that the Aryans were migrants come from the north of Himalayas. The idea was to actively promote a North-South divide! In fact excavation work in Harappa and Mohenjodaro was brought to an abrupt halt during the 20th century mainly because they dug out evidence that showed Aryans had been living in those areas even 3000 years earlier! And that would have constituted incontrovertible evidence to show these so called Aryans were very much residing in those areas even 3000 years ago thereby damning the cock and bull story an entire Nation was persuaded to believe for centuries! However the purpose of planting the lie was more than accomplished! It is based on this belief that Aryans are aliens and Dravidians are the original settlers of India that later on Eevera of Tamilnadu floated Dravida Kazhagam! And all those words in Tamil language that had anything to do with Sankskrit language at all were eliminated from the language altogether!! Strictly speaking, this ought not to shock us at all! After all are we not ourselves guilty of that offence viz., distorting History from day one i.e., after gaining independence? For instance have we not projected Dr. BR Amebedkar as a freedom-fighter whereas in reality he has not even on a single occasion ever spoken in favour of our getting freedom? Having done that will not the posterity be mis-led into believing that as the truth itself? Was Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru not aware of it? Then how come he continues to be projected as a FREEDOM FIGHTER? Of course we have our own compulsions like having to maintain peace and the like. But then the fact remains that History has been distorted!! That way those few young guys from the UK who had come with ship-loads of commodities to do business here and eventually became our rulers for over 2 centuries obviously also had their own compulsions in planting that seed of a whopper hollister ! HISTORY as a subject necessarily draws its strength from TRUTH. When unduly meddled or tampered with, whatever be the reasons, it becomes a MISNOMER! It becomes NON-DETAIL, if not fiction!

Nietzsche – Do you really want to know him

with one comment

Much has been said about Nietzsche and how his philosophy has changed all that was known about the world and human thought, but about all the authors who speak of him, none of them really understood the depth that reached the Nietzschean philosophy, with this Article i want to write simple ideas as time, outside and inside, and will to power. Speaking about time, many people talk about living in the present or living now or how to live in the present moment, actually there is nothing like future or past, precisely because there is only now. When we think in the future or the past, we simply think about them now, so it is impossible to live out of present. Another common doubt about what is out there and what exists within the mind, and what we are born with and what we acquired throughout life, first: there is no outside, all we have seen and which seems out of us is actually within us, the eyes do not see the outside, but pick things that are “thrown” into us, so we can say that there is no world, but worlds, each of us is the center of the world who dies just when we die. Finally I want to say a little about the will to power which Nietzsche talk a lot about. Now that we have seen that there is only life in the present and that does not exist outside, just inside, we wonder hollister sale , what is this thing that exists within every living being? A force that knows no boundaries and seeks to overcome barriers all the time in order to become chief, becoming the leader, seeing all that is below himself, even when speak of kindness and love, all we want is become superior to everything that exists. And as Nietzsche would say, this world is the will to power – and nothing else! And yourselves are also this will to power – and nothing else!

The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown

with one comment

The Lost Symbol is a noble attempt by Dan Brown to duplicate his success with The DaVinci Code and Angels and Demons, though of course with a new puzzle to solve.
This time he brings in the secretive world of the Masons, and how the founding fathers of the United States planned to make this a country liberated not just from George III and other monarchs, but superstition.
Instead of chasing through Rome or other cities in Europe with long distant pasts, we go through Washington D.C. in a way not on the usual sightseeing tours.
Once again Langdon is accompanied by a beautiful woman. Once again cutting edge science is part of the mix, though in this case I’d call is pseudo-science. And it’s entirely secondary to the main plot. It the Noetic Institute weren’t there, we’d never miss it.
I have to assume his facts as such are correct, and I’d be interested in knowing a lot more. I have to assume there are other possible spins to account for the weird symbolism in our nation’s capital.
The villain is a weird, powerful crackpot. Unfortunately, he’s once again representing only himself, though in his craziness he sometimes thinks of himself as representing the universe’s forces of evil.
I’d like to see Brown tackle a real-life conspiracy, instead of just somebody using one to as a disguise.
One part I found aggravating is the author’s insistence on Langdon being so skeptical of the existence of a real life lost word on symbol in Washington D.C. He insists it’s just a myth, when of course we the readers know the author has got to deliver something before the end of the book.
This would seem more appropriate if it were Langdon’s first adventure. But you’d think the man who discovered the Holy Grail just a few years would be a little more open to lost Masonic secrets.
People who considered The DaVinci Code to be an attack on organized Christianity are probably not going to be any happier with this book. It doesn’t exactly attack one of the Church’s sacred tenets abercrombie and fitch , but it supersedes its authority.
The basic idea, and Brown goes on at length about this for many pages after the villain is defeated, is that ancient people since before the Egyptian era knew secrets of how people could become as gods but, fearful of their power in the wrong hands, have transmitted this message in symbols and mystery religions ever since. This is what all religions are really about, although it’s hidden somehow. This is explicitly declared to be true of The Bible.
The Noetic Institute and its research into the powers of the mind is uncovering these secrets through its science.
And according to Brown, we’re approaching a time when all these secrets will be revealed and humanity will be transformed by them.
Well, maybe.
He hints it could be 2012, but maybe not.
Yet, much as I have to say I didn’t get emotionally involved rooting for Langdon and his friends, I did find the background interesting. It’s one of those things I’d love to read a lot more about if I had the time.
