I quote Rama Dev Roy, “Some Aspects of the Economic Drain from India during the British Rule”, Social Scientist, Vol. 15, No. 3 (Mar., 1987), pp. 39-47:

Romesh Dutt in his Economic history of India estimated in 1901 the Indian debt from 1806 t0 1901 at 220 million pounds and the remittances through home charges at 16 million pounds per annum. The salaries of European officers stood at 10 million pounds. Thus, one-half of the net revenue collected in India (£44 million) was drained out to England. During the 46 years from 1722-93 to 1837-38 the total profit of the Company, 32 million pounds, was entirely distributed among the share holders as dividends and moreover they had to resort to borrowing when India was obliged to pay the interest.

Ordinary Pakistani should question “What will make their life better “? Pakistanis should demand better education, health and public services from their leaders. Pakistan should work hard to make its citizens lives better and progress rather than stopping others from progressing. Problem with Pakistan is that mullah, Islamic fundamentalists, politicians, army and ISI are fueling religious sentiments and anti-India hysteria to serve their own self interest, nobody is thinking about Pakistan’s progress.

Forward thinking will help to advance Pakistan economically, economic power counts more in the world than religious ideology. Ideology or theory reflects the solutions of the problems faced during that time. The problems change as time changes so what soultion was relevant 60 years ago might not be good for todays problems.

Incidentally, the antique book on “natural science” I am currently reading is also filled with anachronistic misgivings which attribute the purported superiority of “Nordic races” to popular, but erroneous interpretations of Darwinism and Natural Selection.

The caste system was meant to be a division of society on the basis of personal qualites and not by the heredity.

Any person who wanted to fight and be a warrior and interested in physical strength were classified as a Kshatriya.

Any person who was in the quest for knowledge of the self was classified as Brahman.

Any person who was interested in acquiring name and fame either by skilled labour and acquiring wealth was classified as Vaishya.

Any person who did not want to do any of the above was a Shudra.

Each classification has a set of rules and regulations that allowed people with similar interests to get together and improve themselves. For Eg. a Brahman who is in search of knowledge should be able to resist pleasures of sense like taste and is therfore not allowed to eat tasty food (non vegetarian), consume alcohol etc. a brahman was not was granted food since they were not interested in acquiring wealth. In return for food, the brahmans were required to spread the knowledge that they felt would help the society. You can read THE LAWS OF MANU. 1500 BC translated by G. Buhler for the rules and regulations for each class.

Why do you think sportsmen want to compete with best in their game? it is the same thing. Here the system affords an opportunity for self growth. Otherwise a person who is interested in skilled labour would be forced to acquire knowledge which is not good for the society.

On that basis the Varna System, allowed people to identify themselves and classify themselves based on their interests.

It is people with half baked knowledge who created an impression that any class was lower.

In reality the whole system was made to look evil by these half baked knowledge of so called analysts/reformists who could not fight out on the basis of knowledge. The non-hindu preachers and foreign missionaries started their evil campaign of spreading hatered towards other religions.

I hardly come to understand why these so called preachers are intolerant of other religions. They used the classic policy of “DIVIDE AND RULE” to create problems within people who lived happliy.

But I am sure that the fundamental religion of ever human being atleast in this 21st century is the religion of love and compassion.

Hate mongers who preach hatred and talk lowly and find fault with other are not spiritual people but politicians. They cannot proceed further in quest for knowledge because knowledge transcends religion.

If i can most humbly submit: The first step to seeking true knowledge is to turn inwards and find fault with yourself rather than with others. People like ramanuja, christ and aristotle have failed to make their message of “love and compassion”

Today how many people who call youself christians and talk slyly and insult other religions practice love and compassion.

Wendy would be better off preaching love and compassion rather than preaching hatered.

May love and compassion prevail. May the truth of knowledge clear the darkness of hatered in these souls.

people who insult other religions under the name of christ is shameful to say the least because it was christ who preached love and compassion.
