Half knowledge is always dangerous. See the purpose or main aim of his educational policy from the writings of McCauley himself. Ss also who says that Hindu culture hardly believed in educating anyone except the higher caste people. Read "The case for India" by Will Durant.   V.S.Sardesai    --- On Sat, 16/3/13, Vidyut Kale <wide.aware@gmail.com> wrote: From: Vidyut Kale <wide.aware@gmail.com> Subject: Re: [IAC#RG] [media_monitor5] Re: Baba Ramdev to communalise politics To: devinder.thakur@btopenworld.com Cc: "media_monitor5@yahoogroups.com" <media_monitor5@yahoogroups.com>, "vasant sardesai" <vasant_sardesai@yahoo.co.in>, "govindan menon" <tcgmenon@hotmail.com>, "indiaresists@lists.riseup.net" <indiaresists@lists.riseup.net>, "thakursinghk@gmail.com" <thakursinghk@gmail.com>, "issuesonline_worldwide@yahoogroups.com" <issuesonline_worldwide@yahoogroups.com>, "sroy.mb@gmail.com" <sroy.mb@gmail.com>, "anonsharma@yahoo.com" <anonsharma@yahoo.com>, "shadikatyalsearch" <shadikatyal@yahoo.com>, "VinodKumar" <kv08535@yahoo.com>, "SatbirSingh" <ssbedi1945@yahoo.com> Date: Saturday, 16 March, 2013, 9:01 AM It is 65 years since independence and several generations studied in an independent India. How long are we going to blame our irrationality on others? It is irrelevant what the British made us. The fact remains that it was the most rapid universal education our region saw and it kept expanding and the vision continues to be universal education - something that carried through into the constitution and laws that came after it. This most certainly cannot be attributed to a Hindu culture, which hardly believed in educating anyone except the high caste men. It is routine propaganda spread by the Hindutva forces = who incidentally have done more to pervert Hindu values along the line of the church than anyone else. And for much the same reasons - supremacy, xenophobia and maintaining differences. Vidyut
