<!--QuoteBegin-ramana+Apr 5 2005, 05:46 AM-->QUOTE(ramana @ Apr 5 2005, 05:46 AM)<!--QuoteEBegin--> i think I have an understanding of Hegel's remarks vis a vis Indians in his landmark "Philosophy of History".
I got this relaization while speaking to a visitor of mine. He is an othrodox Hindu well conversant with the rituals etc. Howeve he had no problems in supporting the arrest of the Shankarachrya. His rationale was that the civil authority would be careful of the evidence before making such a move. That the timing and the law under which the Acharya was arrested were particularly demeaning to Hindus at large were lost on him. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Here the modern Indian is a product of psy ops and imposed colonial behaviour pattern to obey law. Hence the behaviour of the secular Hindus is a conditioned response who has lost the sense of what is his interest in his own community and also the interest of the his own community in the nation. Hence his sense of nationalism is lost.
