Re: BK knowledge is meant for real Indians
Posted: 25 Apr 2016
To say european (yadava) science exists to serve BKs and deities is infantile.
To say India is less socially developed or lacks civil infrastructure because it is 'more spiritual' sounds like compensating, or making excuses.
Even these ”better than, worse than” comparisons is showing that the concern is not with seeing "what is” and from that "what can be improved” but it’s a form of stereotyping and fatalism. We are and always have been ‘this' while they, those ”others", are and always have been ’that”.
But Indians make up a huge percentage of the world’s scientists, many leading breakthroughs have come from Indians - most famous probably is Satyendra Nath Bose from where we get the name for the elementary particle, the ‘boson’.
Whether blatant, like our friend Pakka here, or subtler, like those who pray that non-believers will one day ”see the light”, bigotry, narrow-mindedness and judging others finds justification in religion and spirituality very easily.
