When those people sit on judgment who have superficial understanding of the subject

Many of us have heard that T B Macaulay imposed on us christian missionary english education system six generations ago.

  • Generation after generation we Hindus were systematically removed from our roots, trained to look down upon whatever was ours.
  • We Hindus were made to judge ourselves, putting on dark glasses on our eyes, that they provided us.
  • Muslims, in general, refused to get educated by the christian missionaries, and thus, they managed to remain in touch with their roots.

Today television has wide reach among the masses

  • It is capable of reshaping the thought process of the viewers
  • It can drastically change the value system of a society, even of a nation
  • Script writers of popular TV serials can spread their ignorance to the masses very effectively

Here is a simple example (if you look for them there will be hundreds and hundreds)

  • Tuesday 25 July 2006 Star Plus channel 9-9:30 pm serial Viraasat
  • A powerful drama, well written, acted and directed
  • Recently started, not yet diluted, still holding good impact on audience
  • Raahul, the good guy, the hero, tells Rrishabh, the bad guy, the villain

Raahul tells Rrishabh

  • I and Priyanka had love marriage so it is based on trust (so much so for over-glorification of love marriage, majority of which do not stand the test of time, and soon land in plenty of troubles leading to separations and divorces)
  • whereas,
  • Raam Chandr had Swayamavar (where the bride selects the groom, out of many aspiring to marry her) so Sita had to go for Agni-Pariksha (so much to show Hindu system in bad light just by hearing the tail-end of the story)
  • in this case,
    Producer, unfortunately a celebrity BR Chopra, who did not apply his mind, or may be he simply handed over the reins to Rajiv (Chopra) and the script writer, both being products of such education system, which ensures that Hindus are kept at a great distance from understanding the finer details of the issues involved and the logic that support them

Speaking of that education, very aptly stated by a so-called 'Father' of a christianized school "may be that we won't be able to convert your children to christianity but by the time we are through with them, they won't remain Hindu either".

So, are these products of an alien culture inherently hostile to ours, always seeking to destroy our culture but their friendly mask never lets Hindus see it.

Anyhow, neither the writer not the producer (or, director in this case) thought it necessary to get himself better educated on the topic. The least they could have done was to view Late Shri Ramananda Sagar's immortal creation Raamaayan (beware of the later day creations by his christianized_hindu children, to name a few, Sai Baba, Prithiraaj Chauhan, where they give ample testimony of their own ignorance of our history, culture and value system, though they have many good points as well, which makes the script a hotchpotch, which sells the wrong packaged well with the right).

So, when these so-called artists work on the psyche of the masses through their creations they pass on their own massive ignorance to the audience, and thus keeping adding substantially to the already-enough corruption in understanding of our culture and value-system.

A society must be careful not to allow people with superficial understanding of deeper issues to sit on judgement, based on their borrowed knowledge from those, whose basic objective (carefully hidden) is to destroy our culture and, for that, the simple rule they follow is to keep us separated (from our very childhood under the pretext of educating us) from understanding whatever is ours.
