India June 5, 2000 The CBS program "60 Minutes" sought out the honor killings in India as an example of human rights violations around the world which we, the world's "last superpower", the "world's policemen", presumably have the moral authority to criticize. However, our own murder rate is 2.6 times higher than India's, 6.8 times higher than China's, and almost six times higher than Japan's. Compared to India, we have 22 times as many arrests each year, 3 times as many convictions, 73 times as many behind bars, 162 times as many allegations of rape and sexual assault (excluding the 500,000 American women/year whom feminists claim never even report their rapes), 10 times as many robberies, 35 times as many thefts, 52 times as many frauds, 265 times as many drug arrests, 4 times as many briberies, even though we have three times as many police, per capita. How could we, the very country with such an out of control justice system, the one that has made the false allegation an art, ever claim to have the moral authority to criticize the internal affairs of much more stable cultures? Unless and until we straighten out our own justice system, by what moral authority could we, the world's most violent society, have the right to think of ourselves as "the world's policemen"? Where does such unwarranted, hypocritical, and wishful thinking come from? These are the questions "60 Minutes" should have focused our attention on.
http://www.dalitstan.org/books/bibai/ What struck me is that, while Western scholars seek to sweep this part of our history under the carpet and deny the racial links between the Aryans and today's whites (I've even read a book, 'Larry Gonick's Cartoon History of the Universe', portraying Indra as a black Indian man), the author of this book, Prof. Uthaya Naidu, is a racially conscious scholar. He even claims that the Brahmin elite in India today are the mongrelised descendants of the Aryans and so aren't too eager to acknowledge the crimes of the distant past. It raises an interesting question. The Jews of the Old Testament slaughtered people or arranged to have people slaughtered - eg, the Canaanites, the Persians (who were most likely white, come to think of it). The Jews relish that part of their history and celebrate it in their religious festivals. But the Aryans didn't gloat over the races they subjugated or killed, it seems: instead, they penned beautiful Vedic hymns. Perhaps Nietzsche is right when he said all peoples are cruel, but the higher peoples sublimate their Will to Power and make beautiful cultures and civilisations. |
