~PUSH THE BUTTON~

Everyday my inbox gets pounded by junkmails, just like most of you out there. In spite of knowing that 90% of them are real junk, I go through each one of them to the word, looking for sense in them. The ones I find most disconcerting are those which hail themselves as ‘PRIDE OF INDIA’. But on a closer look have an hidden agenda to shake the very edifice of the integrity of this diverse but unified nation.

Here I would like to present one of the recent junkmails I received. It’s about the man who changed the education system in India. I do have my complaints about the current education system, which aims at spoon feeding and getting a clerical job rather than being innovative. But that is another topic altogether. But this man, Lord Macaulay, introduced an education system that is for every Indian, when compared to the then system of education for the upper class. Yes, if not for him, the subcontinent would be a bunch of educated upperclass ruling over the illiterate low caste pariahs (surprisingly enough the English word pariah itself was borrowed from Tamil, an Indian language).

This is the picture I received as an attachment with the junk mail I’m talking about.

The link here will explain the reality behind the above.

People seem to love the lies, for some reason. Pride of this artificial aura: unreal, but still spreading its dark lies.

The selfish fundamentalist is gaining and making strides already in the age of the internet. Will the tide change for the good? Or is he going to win? Will the light of truth be ever lit in the hearts and minds of those who forward these emails, without caring a damn to check the authenticity of the content?

The enlightened pushes ; if you are not then push the button.

Cheers
