As much it is true, but also true is there are some among the 99% are rabid hindus, casteists who will die to keep the gandhi's name uphled because they never in their whole life made any effort to study and learn the background of real gandhi, it is a cult.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The bottom line here is times are changing, for the first time our Upper house representatives started voicing against this bigotry known as gandhi, yes gandhi is a bigot and gandhism is a bigotry, the grandest of all Indian bigotry, good work has begun to expose these mania.&lt;br /&gt;

John Bullitt, who is behind this groundbreaking online work on Theravada Buddhism humbly accepts that it is not just him but there are so many people, monks, scholars and Theravada experts are behind this works, but I have to say John has done a tremendous job. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like how I admire the works of erstwhile Ven Walpola Rahula's Book "What the Buddha Taught", along the lines, accesstoinsight.org is beyond doubt strikingly scholarly, knowledgeable, uptodate and as it is as Buddha would have told his story of life, mind and death to this world. Every Buddhist must go to this site, and most importantly, there is no such Theravada reference material as good as accesstoinsight, you are the Most Scholarly website of our time.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Great Dalit Scholar, Scholars &amp; Humanitarians&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3110690691316979477-633940728264744434?l=greatscholar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GreatScholarscholarsHumanitarians/~4/R507R_5m1d8" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GreatScholarscholarsHumanitarians/~3/R507R_5m1d8/access-to-insight-readings-in-theravada.html</link><author>Saint (Saint)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><feedburner:origLink>http://greatscholar.blogspot.com/2011/11/access-to-insight-readings-in-theravada.html</feedburner:origLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110690691316979477.post-4526423055819466512</guid><pubDate>Sat, 24 Sep 2011 18:36:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-11-05T16:26:47.674-07:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">he is not Mahatma</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">gandhi a betrayer</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">bullshit</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Mahatma</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">DrAmbedkar</category><title>I never called him Mahatma in my Whole Life, he does not deserve and he is not.</title><description>&lt;span style="color: red; font-size: large;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Mahatma Who?, he is not Mahatma, I never called him Mahatma in my whole&amp;nbsp;Life&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow; color: purple; font-size: medium;"&gt;Upliftthem is the Most Vehement and Strongest critic of most dalit politicians of India, especially my own state of Tamil Nadu Dalit Politicians.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="background-color: yellow; color: purple; font-size: medium;"&gt;No where else you will see or read online or offline of such strong criticism. However, that is going to change, as a reality check on Dalit Politicians particularly Thol Thirumavalavan and others following the 9/11 Parakamudi police atrocity that was unleashed by the present JJ govt on dalits, Uplifthem's view took a slight change on dalit politicians based on the ongoing activities. Today after watching the following presentation of Thol, there is a Sea Change in Thol Thirumavalavan's Direction of his Dalit Politics, Upliftthem is inclined to Change the attitude towards Dalit Politicians and I am making this argument read or heard Openly on the Blog. This is a Public appreciation as well as praise the works they have been upto following the "Tamil Nadu Police Atrocity on Dalits"* though the dalit politicians have lots to do and long way to get real appreciation, any such positive change has to be acknowledged?). Good work Thol, (so do your partner Paswan, all the way came down to Tamil Nadu to record his voice against dalit abuse) keep up the good work. Do not STOP until Jayalalitha is accountable for the 7 lives of Dalits in Paramakudi.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/blockquote&gt;Tamil Nadu Police's atrocity is a direct result of a impotent, inefficient, casteist and Racist Jayalalitha, the most barbarbaric Indian leaders of all just below Narendran Modi of Gujarat and L.K Advani of BJP party. India has been destroyed by this type of goons in the name of hindutva Politics. The september 11 killing of 7 dalits by the Tamil Nadu Police is a Open and deliberatly planned murder of innocent civilians and this is simply not possible without the direct involvement of Ammaa/Selvi barbaric Jayalalitha. The world must listen to an account given by VCK Leader and Member of Parliment Thol Thirvumavalan. It is a honest and painful account of the state sponsered Terrorism of Tamil Nadu.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;b style="background-color: #ea9999;"&gt;Indian Universities and&amp;nbsp;Institutions&amp;nbsp;such as All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS), Indian Institute of Sciences (IISc), Indian Institute of Technology (IITs) and National Institute of Immunology, are few of the dozen so called elite and top educational centers in India, but they are also the "Sleeping Cell of Caste practices" by hindu terrorists disguised as Professors, deans, directors?.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;Most of the faculties, professors, chairman, vice chancellors and staff are all occupied by caste believing hindus or others who possess the same caste virulence in their mind set. It get's terribly murky as you go further into these higher education system of India, it is totally run by hindu terrorists who will not let any Outcastes (-those who do not believe in hindu system or hindus caste system) to become chiefs of departments, some exceptions might be noticed here and there, but to the most part India's higher education is the Meca of hindu terrorists who torment the innocent and poor students from Sc/St and other marginalized communities of India.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;The foundation of Slavery is inbuild in hindu society so do the caste system, a discriminatory and barbaric belief system that has been plagued India for centuries and thousands of years is totally alive and in practice in every corner of India. This is exactly why Dr.Ambedkar, the Father of&amp;nbsp;constitution&amp;nbsp;and first law minister of India put together some of the greatest&amp;nbsp;affirmative&amp;nbsp;policies, the Reservation in education, jobs, judiciaries and in politics so that a well deserved opportunity is given to those who have been victimized and sabotaged by the hindus caste system, but in all respect, the Indian&amp;nbsp;constitution&amp;nbsp;on such&amp;nbsp;affirmative&amp;nbsp;policies been hacked by the people in Power by not implementing as per the law, which lead to weakness, fragile and loop holes such as not filling the reserved jobs, not promoting Sc/St's and not appointing them in higher jobs and so on. In the absence of equal and balanced faculties, Deans and V.Cs in Universities, the loop holes became a unattended territory left to brahmins and casteists of India to take the power in their hands uncontrolled and unmonitored, they abuse the whole system. On the top of the abuse list of India Professors and academicians is the abuse of Sc/St students. The list abuse reported can run through pages some thing like "you will never become a Doctor", "I will see to that you fail in all your exams", "you will never get your Doctorate (PhD)", I will suspend you, you will be removed from college or class so on and so forth. In addition to abuse by words, abusing students by letters, complaints and police charges are &amp;nbsp;too common, this puts the already vulnerable dalit students into so miserable condition, they have been crippled of any thinking at all. The result is committing suicide. This has been happening in all the higher educational&amp;nbsp;institutions, but in the recent years, the numbers are shocking and perplexing to even think as to what goes on in Indian&amp;nbsp;Institutions.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;This dangerous trend is unfolding much more spectacularly in the ALL India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi. In this Sleeping Cell of hindu terrorism, there are&amp;nbsp;separate&amp;nbsp;hostels for Sc/St students,&amp;nbsp;separate&amp;nbsp;dorm rooms or&amp;nbsp;separate&amp;nbsp;wings in a Building. Recently, more shocking incidents of casteist medical students burning Dr.Ambedkar's books and writings been discovered recorded in a CD. The details are simply beyond imagination, there is a huge gang of Professors, doctors, faculties, deans and directors of AIIMs been systematically involved in cornering Dalit students, harrasing them still they are drop dead. That's how some of the medical students in AIIMs been found dead by suicide?.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;The following video is made by the Insight Foundation, a new,&amp;nbsp;fledgling&amp;nbsp;Dalit voluntary organization dedicated to highlight the plights of dalit students across India, they have been waiting to release these video's for a while due to an ongoing court cases but as usual, the Indian court system and the judges, justices being casteists, nothing seems to be moving along to find justice to the victims, they realized to bring it to the public. I warn you that it is quite disturbing, sad and very painful watch those parents and kins of the dead express their great loss in their families. It is terrifying and&amp;nbsp;intolerable&amp;nbsp;agony caused by the hindu terrorists in the Academia of Indian&amp;nbsp;Institutions. Watch and do something about it..!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #ffd966; border-collapse: collapse;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: purple;"&gt;Behind the upsurge of the anti corruption activities of Anna Hazare, there is a Right wing agenda inbuild that includes the casteist Swamis of India Baba Ramdev and Sri Sri Ravishankar, what better combination has to appear together for us to grasp the gravity of this Right wing casteists agenda, Anna is a casteist and a racist who is throwing up the caste shit all over India, so that they can spread and extend the varnashrama sabotage further into next&amp;nbsp;millennium. Professor Ram Puniyani explains in details what is the big deal about this so called anti corruption Upsurge, is it about corruption or something else....! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: xx-small;"&gt;( the following article is copied from a email sent by the author)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #f4cccc; border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red; font-size: x-large;"&gt;Anna Hazare and Anti Corruption Upsurge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;Ram Puniyani&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;The nation has witnessed a huge spectacle from a section of visible population with Anna Hazare’s fast for getting the Jan Lok Pal bill being drafted and implemented. His fast unto death was an event in which not only we witnessed the ‘Tsunami of Sentiments’ but was also used by media to create an atmosphere as if it a ‘second freedom struggle’. While one can see that the dissatisfaction of the people from the system was overflowing, one also registered that this is a response to the massive corruption scams which have been unearthed during last few years. While Government succumbed to the mass pressure and the media projection, the whole episode also raised many a questions about the message which the fasting and Jantar mantar protest gave.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;In the whole event, the backdrop was provided by Hindu imagery of India as Bharat mata, a Goddess. One hoped that such issues needing of worldly grounding can have icons like Gandhi as the central projection. Gandhi as the central backdrop of the movement would not only have given a correct moral message but also had been equally welcoming to all the citizens of the country irrespective of their religion. Gandhi as the backdrop would also have reminded the leaders that corruption cannot be isolated from other political dynamics which is leading to gross injustices to the poor and marginalized of the society.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;Unfortunately the criticism of elected leaders and the doubting of the democratic system itself were taken to the cynical extremes. People writing on their hands that ‘Mera Neta Chor Hai’ (My leader is a thief) was one such example where the attempt to denigrate the elected representative along with the electoral process could be discerned. One concedes that there are serious flaws in the electoral system, the money power, muscle power and Corporate influence, but to paint all the leaders in the same brush shows the warped understanding of a section of leadership of Jantar Mantar movement. At the same time all the voters were insulted by stating that people cast their vote just for the goodies they get in advance as if these goodies are the core deciding points of election. Surely our electoral system needs serious reforms but this type of projection also needs to be seriously questioned.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;Then we have the issues of leadership of the whole event. We saw Anna Hazare as the Supreme commander with associates like Baba Ramdev trying to moralize the nation in the politics which is not so hidden by now. Baba Ramdev is a partisan of a particular type of politics which bases itself on religion and Baba in the clothes of a yogi is playing the role, which does not promotes democratic values. Baba was accompanied by RSS leader Ram Madhav. Sri Sri Ravishnker was also there. Both these Godmen are for the construction of grand Ram Tmeple at Ayodhya, and that should be enough to tell us their political leanings. Others in the core committee surely have more objectivity but one does not know as to how much influence they could exercise on the tilt being given by Annaji, Ramdev, Ravishanker and Company.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;Anna Hazare, in the centre of the whole event also projected his pro right wing politics by praising Narendra Modi. One learns that Annaji has worked in his village in an authoritarian way, keeping the caste and gender hierarchical notions intact in Ralegaon Siddhi. His praise for Modi does let the cat out of the bag. Narendra Modi has successfully created and image of honest administrator but those who know the state better like Malika Sarabhai, Chunibhai Viadya, Rohit Prajapati and Trupti Shah have pointed out that in Gujarat the villages are suffering the rot, poverty levels are abysmal, people are migrating to cities in large numbers and their lands are being given to the coterie of Industrialists who are in the good books of Modi. Lakhs of villagers are yet to get the compensation for the land which has been taken away from them. The very definition of corruption needs to be looked at while talking of Gujarat, as Industrialists are plundering with&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;both the hands and state exchequer is the major victim of Modi’s policies. Instances of this abound, the massive subsidy to Nano being one major example.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;Same Narendra Modi not only refused to appoint the Lokayukta in his state and there are multiple unadvertised scams which are away from the media glare. There are criminal accusations against this person who has been called as the Nero by the Supreme Court, and who is authoritarian to the core. With such a role played by Modi in the Gujarat carnage, with blood on his hands, if someone can praise his work, it is not out of naivety, and it is part of the political agenda of that person. Same Anna Hazare had praised Raj Thackeray, the architect of violence in the name of language. As per Annaji, Raj Thackeray’s ideas are correct but violence should not be resorted to, forgetting that violence is a just an outcome of these political formulations which Modi and Thackerays have.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;The massive mobilization and channelization of middle class angst is at one level indicator of the deeper levels of frustration in the system. In this whole upsurge there was a spontaneous expression of dissatisfaction and also a planned mobilization all across to take advantage of the situation to enhance the politics of those who have rode on the wave of section of society mobilized earlier also. One recalls that Jaya Prakash Naryan’s movement was much more broad based still it came to be controlled by the RSS, and its Swayamsevak Nanaji Deshmukh became the central person. The JP movement, irrespective of its noble intentions gave respectability to the organization, whose member had killed Father of the nation, and which till that time was looked down upon. Same way V.P.Singh’s tirade against corruption was swept away by the politics of those who were out to demolish Babri Masjid. Sitting on the waves of anti Corruption movement, both time RSS and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;its political progeny became stronger to the extent of becoming the second largest party in the country.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;Ironically in the whole episode while the ruling party and politicians as such were being humiliated the other component of the corruption phenomenon, the Corporate World and the industrial houses were really the beneficiaries of the way anti corruption drive was projected. Corporate World got exonerated by default, of all their crimes of getting around their ways through corrupt route. During earlier decades when the economy was controlled by state, the so called license-permit raj, it was said that corruption is due to state control of economy. Now with globalized economic scenario, the corruption has gone up to unimaginable levels, and the role of Industrial Houses as being the equal party to the game remains hidden from the scene.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;Corruption is the big scourge to the system. We do need to look beyond the leaders and parties to realize that Corruption is primarily due to lack of transparency of the system, lack of accountability of the elected representatives and the very nature of our economic system and injustices inbuilt in the social system. While one lauds the tremendous response to the anti corruption movement, one can just hope that the sectarianism of Anna Hazare should be totally bypassed and the religious tilt of the imagers should be done away with. One hopes that while working on the Lok Pal Bill, the collective leadership of the movement will take note of these points to ensure that this movement does not meet the fate of two similar earlier one’s and that Right wing divisive forces are kept at bay.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;--&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

I first met him when he came to see my ice show in Nepal, which was called “Holiday on Dirt.” Gandhi came backstage and he told me, “I very much enjoyed watching you pretend to ice-skate, in your tight pants.” I asked him, “Um, so why are you wearing a diaper?” And he explained that his outfit was a traditional Indian dhoti, and I said, “Well, you look like the New Year’s baby.” And he said, “You are so handsome when you are not speaking.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Then he told me about how he made the fabric for his dhoti himself, on his spinning wheel and hand loom, and I said, “Whoa, are you, like, a Native American lesbian?” And he said, “I will tell you over dinner.”&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="border-bottom-width: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top-width: 0px; font-size: 17px; line-height: 25px; margin-bottom: 15px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 15px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;Full Piece at the following Link:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;Read more&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://www.newyorker.com/humor/2011/04/11/110411sh_shouts_rudnick#ixzz1IYCsV2H4" style="color: #003399; outline-color: initial; outline-style: initial; outline-width: 0px; text-decoration: none;"&gt;http://www.newyorker.com/humor/2011/04/11/110411sh_shouts_rudnick#ixzz1IYCsV2H4&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Yet another spectacular display of Indians ignorance can be read at the&amp;nbsp;commentary&amp;nbsp;page on WSJ.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is the reviewer Andrew Roberts who dissected out the book and gandhi's life, who presented several pathological life styles and failures of the great soul, or is it a great soul?. There are lots of facts about gandhi has been buried alive by Indians, especially casteist Indians as well as the state that portrays gandhi as some kind of a demi-god or the representative of the nation of India, while so many great men and woman who fought for India's freedom and nation building leaders are long forgotten and trashed by the same procrastinators of India.&lt;br /&gt;

Most ironic of the Indians behavior is to ban or hurt someone who give them messages, they will kill the messenger once and for all, it is the tradition of thousands of years of attitudes of Indians. As the author claims in this "Hindu Daily News", not a single person had any opportunity to even look at the Book, let alone reading it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the heights of a society that every heresay can lead to ban a book, arrest a person or put an innocent in Jail, there is no law and there is no rights, ofcourse there is no freedom in India. Any time there is a book or movie or some critical analysis of hindu religious books or figures or people like gandhi, the immediate reaction of the state and the people is to Ban, Ban...Ban....the Most Undemocratic and utterly Pathological mindset never seen in any other nation, is India. Oh it is gandhi's India you see, the truth will set Free was the "mantra" gandhi used to dupe the people, actually, the Truth about gandhi is beating him so hard, several decades after his death, the truth still haunts gandhi and his procrastinators.&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="-webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; line-height: 15px;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

They should at least make an effort to see the pages that they think offend them before they take such an extreme step.”&lt;br /&gt;
Giving strength to the line now taken by the UPA government is the fact that intellectuals and relatives of Mahatma Gandhi have opposed a ban, saying that it would not be a “democratic response.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #504865; font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.baywindows.com/index.php?ch=opinion&amp;amp;sc=guest_opinions&amp;amp;sc2=news&amp;amp;sc3=&amp;amp;id=117950"&gt;The Gandhi none of us knew&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

And according to Lelyvard, Gandhi the pacifist was a wife-beater, denied sex to his wife for decades, was purported to be a "celibate" living life as an ascetic, but actually was a pedophile who ritualized sleeping naked with underage girls in order to test "the ferocity of his sexual desires," and at one point left his wife for a male lover.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Over 500 biographies and movies have been made about him. He is  presented as being anti-racist, anti-colonialist, non-violent, tolerant, devoted  to family and overall someone that we should learn from. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"&gt;&lt;em&gt;The Great  Soul&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small; font-weight: normal;"&gt;, he is called. One site touts that if we will read Gandhi we will, “at  every turn, open our eyes in admiration and reverence.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h5&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;The truth is far different from this rosy picture the Indian government and  others would sell to us. His writing is comprised of numerous volumes and his  thoughts are not consistent.&lt;br /&gt;
Although Gandhi writes, “I believe implicitly that all men are born equal.  All — whether born in India or in England or America,” Gandhi was not really  anti-racist. Not only was he a Hindu, with all the caste system implications  that came with it, but he was really only concerned with racism as directed at  the upper classes of Hindu caste, of which he was a member. He was also very  racist towards the blacks of South Africa. On September 26, 1896, Gandhi wrote,  “Ours is one continued struggle sought to be inflicted upon us by the Europeans  who desire to degrade us to the level of the raw Kaffir, whose occupation is  hunting and whose sole ambition is to collect a certain number of cattle to buy  a wife, and then pass his life in indolence and nakedness.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then in September of 1903, Gandhi said, “We believe as much in the purity of  races as we think they (the Whites) do …. by advocating the purity of all  races.” In fact he felt so strongly that the Indians should be classed with the  whites not the Kaffirs, he organized a brigade of Indians to help put down a  Zulu uprising. In 1931, he fasted as protest to a British proposal to grant  rights to Untouchables, the lowest of the castes, also known as &lt;em&gt;Dalits&lt;/em&gt;.  No, Gandhi was no friend to the lower classes. He once told a Dalit who had  graduated to not “take up” a white collar job.&lt;br /&gt;

In effect, the State governments rush to submit themselves to private corporations in what Bhaduri calls “competitive servitude”.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Especially about Dalit's Issues.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;And, I have to say that I have been following Americans who visit India or Americans who write about India without visiting India. Whether it is written by some one who visited India or not, it is ironic and almost pathological the perceptions of Americans and Indians living in America with regard to the Indian society, culture and the social evil known as caste system?.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;The worst of the perception comes out of Television reporters, commentators and NY times correspondents and Washington Post news editors. Not a single one of these writers who write about India or dalits focus on Dalit issues as it is, but with their own&amp;nbsp;ambiguous&amp;nbsp;way, no one in the modern days ever wrote or presented the actual dalit story as realistic as of the present article I am posting below. Unfortunately, these media agents been influenced by their fellow Indians who work with them in their media house, most of them are either casteists or have same twisted ideas about dalit issues?.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;To give some bad examples on the topic of projecting India and dalits, the guy who made the movie gandhi&amp;nbsp;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold; line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000277/"&gt;Richard Attenborough&lt;/a&gt;, his unthoughtful, bigoted &lt;a href="http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083987/"&gt;movie gandhi&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;was the worst story telling, full of bigotry of what gandhi stood was an erroneous story told to sell a fake story of sainthood, when we make the scoundrel into saints, the damage multiplies on the society, especially the damage he has done to dalits.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #333333; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: x-small; font-weight: bold; line-height: 23px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;Attenborough was the worst of the story tellers, his movie gandhi is full of bigotry and fake&amp;nbsp;propaganda&amp;nbsp;of gandhi as the saint.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;There are so many pathological mindset like Richard (though he is not an American but an European, mentioned here as the bad media people). The most recent example I have seen is Linda's work, for example, recently there was a you tube video that is copied from the works of &lt;a href="http://www.nick.com/videos/clip/untouchable-kids-of-india-full-episode.html"&gt;Linda Ellerbee&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href="http://www.museum.tv/eotvsection.php?entrycode=ellerbeelin"&gt;(Linda's Bio)&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;  Nick &amp;nbsp;(the video is posted on Nick page see below) News of&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div style="background-color: black; width: 368px;"&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 4px;"&gt;&lt;embed allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" base="." flashvars="" height="293" src="http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:cms:video:nick.com:96129" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="360"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="background-color: white; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-top: 4px; padding: 4px; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.nick.com/shows/"&gt;Nick News&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Tags: &lt;a href="http://www.nick.com/videos/nick-news-videos"&gt;Nick News Episodes&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://www.nick.com/shows/nick-news"&gt;Nick News&lt;/a&gt;,&lt;a href="http://www.nick.com/games/nick-news-games"&gt;Nick News Games&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Nickelodien TV presents the dalit story to the most part she has done a great job, very true but there were some minor flaws in her script but to the most part it is well said story. At the end of the story, she makes this huge blunder. She finishes her photoshoot and story with the quote and about a man by name gandhi, the man ultimately responsible for the&amp;nbsp;continuous&amp;nbsp;practice of the caste system, it is still practiced and exist in India because of gandhi like people, gandhi (I never use "Caps" for gandhi as a reflection of my Opposition to gandhi) this scounderal hindu who destroyed dalits progress, he not only betrayed the dalits but when they had the opportunity via Dr.B.R.Ambedkar to transform Indian society without any caste, gandhi intervened and sabotaged the effort of Dr.Ambedkar to have a&amp;nbsp;separate&amp;nbsp;electoral for dalits, that was the greatest opportunities dalits had in the last about 3000 years to get rid of hindu pathology called caste system.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was so unfortunate to listen from such a great American Television personality as Linda, quotes gandhi name, did Linda Ellerbee really understood this caste problem or she is really even willing to understand in it's real sense instead of surface level understanding?. If that is the case, she must understand what gandhi did to the Untouchables, and she must understand what Dr.B.R.Ambedkar did to the Indian society as a whole and to the Dalits. Only then Linda will understand dalit issues in it's&amp;nbsp;entirety, please do not utter the word gandhi when you speak about dalits, he was the ultimate casteists India has ever produced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;b&gt;Anyways, that was just one example as to how poorly and dangerously the Americans perceive dalit issues, Linda has also did previous stories and she did the same gandhi propoganda in her previous issues. It is so unfortunate and so painful why Linda cannot investigate the issue truthfully and talk about Ambedkar, she did not say a word, not a word about Dr.Ambedkar, I can't just imagine how she can do a story about dalits without talking about this great man who served dalits his whole life.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;The present article is the first of it's Kind, absolutely true, no twisting, no bigotry, no bias but true, the writer&amp;nbsp;traveled&amp;nbsp;to India, listened to them honestly,&amp;nbsp;listened&amp;nbsp;the dalit stories with feelings and comes back to America to tell for the very first time as it is, "AS IT IS", thank you Jon Foreman, my blog will announce your article as the &lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: yellow;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: red;"&gt;"Most honest and scholarly dalit story of the Year 2010"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Maybe it was my neighbors when I was growing up, or the roommate I had in college, or perhaps just a faded picture in an old National Geographic. Whatever it was, I have been enchanted by India for some time. To me, it represented all things exotic and mysterious. I kept the sub-continent safe in a sacred place in my mind, reserved for only the most alluring ideas. Traveling to India, then, was a delicate prospect, one that held the potential of shattering superlative myths that I had long held in my imagination. I went nonetheless and I am thankful to say that this was not the case. I returned with an even greater respect for the history, the culture, and above all, the beautiful people of India. It is a country of exotic diversity, full of colors I had never seen, melodies I had never heard – a country with fourteen national languages and nine of the world’s major religions. Balancing the history of a three-thousand-year-old culture alongside a technological revolution creates a land of clear dichotomy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 21px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #6aa84f;"&gt;I was overwhelmed by the sights and sounds and tastes of humanity in a&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 21px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="background-color: #6aa84f;"&gt;Read full story:&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: small; line-height: normal;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 15px; font-weight: normal; line-height: 21px;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="entry-content" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; border-bottom-style: none; border-color: initial; border-left-style: none; border-right-style: none; border-top-style: none; border-width: initial; display: inline !important; font-size: 15px; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; outline-color: initial; outline-style: none; outline-width: initial; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://landofbrokenhearts.org/archive/2008/10/anonymous-in-india-a-travelogue/"&gt;http://landofbrokenhearts.org/archive/2008/10/anonymous-in-india-a-travelogue/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;Great Dalit Scholar, Scholars &amp; Humanitarians&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3110690691316979477-7625770282689543394?l=greatscholar.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/GreatScholarscholarsHumanitarians/~4/FNOpioWZjec" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description><link>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GreatScholarscholarsHumanitarians/~3/FNOpioWZjec/american-recently-traveled-to-india-and.html</link><author>Saint (Saint)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total><media:content url="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GreatScholarscholarsHumanitarians/~5/k1Be_5_NJEU/nick-news" fileSize="130" type="dynamo-internal/html" /><itunes:explicit>no</itunes:explicit><itunes:subtitle>As an Indian American who lived both in India and in America, I have been reading non-stop from every little scrap of news to articles in magazines to dalit story books, novels and just about anything regarding dalit issues and about what Americans write </itunes:subtitle><itunes:author>Saint (Saint)</itunes:author><itunes:summary>As an Indian American who lived both in India and in America, I have been reading non-stop from every little scrap of news to articles in magazines to dalit story books, novels and just about anything regarding dalit issues and about what Americans write about India!?. Especially about Dalit's Issues. And, I have to say that I have been following Americans who visit India or Americans who write about India without visiting India. Whether it is written by some one who visited India or not, it is ironic and almost pathological the perceptions of Americans and Indians living in America with regard to the Indian society, culture and the social evil known as caste system?. The worst of the perception comes out of Television reporters, commentators and NY times correspondents and Washington Post news editors. Not a single one of these writers who write about India or dalits focus on Dalit issues as it is, but with their own&amp;nbsp;ambiguous&amp;nbsp;way, no one in the modern days ever wrote or presented the actual dalit story as realistic as of the present article I am posting below. Unfortunately, these media agents been influenced by their fellow Indians who work with them in their media house, most of them are either casteists or have same twisted ideas about dalit issues?.To give some bad examples on the topic of projecting India and dalits, the guy who made the movie gandhi&amp;nbsp;Richard Attenborough, his unthoughtful, bigoted movie gandhi&amp;nbsp;was the worst story telling, full of bigotry of what gandhi stood was an erroneous story told to sell a fake story of sainthood, when we make the scoundrel into saints, the damage multiplies on the society, especially the damage he has done to dalits.&amp;nbsp; Attenborough was the worst of the story tellers, his movie gandhi is full of bigotry and fake&amp;nbsp;propaganda&amp;nbsp;of gandhi as the saint. There are so many pathological mindset like Richard (though he is not an American but an European, mentioned here as the bad media people). The most recent example I have seen is Linda's work, for example, recently there was a you tube video that is copied from the works of Linda Ellerbee (Linda's Bio)&amp;nbsp; Nick &amp;nbsp;(the video is posted on Nick page see below) News of Nick News Tags: Nick News Episodes,Nick News,Nick News GamesNickelodien TV presents the dalit story to the most part she has done a great job, very true but there were some minor flaws in her script but to the most part it is well said story. At the end of the story, she makes this huge blunder. She finishes her photoshoot and story with the quote and about a man by name gandhi, the man ultimately responsible for the&amp;nbsp;continuous&amp;nbsp;practice of the caste system, it is still practiced and exist in India because of gandhi like people, gandhi (I never use "Caps" for gandhi as a reflection of my Opposition to gandhi) this scounderal hindu who destroyed dalits progress, he not only betrayed the dalits but when they had the opportunity via Dr.B.R.Ambedkar to transform Indian society without any caste, gandhi intervened and sabotaged the effort of Dr.Ambedkar to have a&amp;nbsp;separate&amp;nbsp;electoral for dalits, that was the greatest opportunities dalits had in the last about 3000 years to get rid of hindu pathology called caste system. It was so unfortunate to listen from such a great American Television personality as Linda, quotes gandhi name, did Linda Ellerbee really understood this caste problem or she is really even willing to understand in it's real sense instead of surface level understanding?. If that is the case, she must understand what gandhi did to the Untouchables, and she must understand what Dr.B.R.Ambedkar did to the Indian society as a whole and to the Dalits. Only then Linda will understand dalit issues in it's&amp;nbsp;entirety, please do not utter the word gandhi when you speak about dalits, he was the ultimate casteists India has ever produced. Anyways, that was just one example as to how poorly and dangerously the Americans</itunes:summary><itunes:keywords>great,scholar,dalits,untouchables,India,caste,system</itunes:keywords><feedburner:origLink>http://greatscholar.blogspot.com/2011/03/american-recently-traveled-to-india-and.html</feedburner:origLink><enclosure url="http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/GreatScholarscholarsHumanitarians/~5/k1Be_5_NJEU/nick-news" length="130" type="dynamo-internal/html" /><feedburner:origEnclosureLink>http://www.nick.com/shows/nick-news</feedburner:origEnclosureLink></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3110690691316979477.post-6819248193647919910</guid><pubDate>Thu, 24 Feb 2011 08:53:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2011-02-24T00:53:52.284-08:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Nalanda University</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">1st University in the world</category><title>Buddhist University- the first University in the world, Nalanda University</title><description>Great Scholar, Scholars &amp; Humanitarians&lt;br /&gt;
