.I always wanted to keep my views regarding this specific topic ever since I read Macaulay's "Minutes", The governor general of India served between 1834-1838.Many of you might be unaware of the fact he delivered in his literary work which is the reason why in present we Indians want to materialize ourselves by solely drilling western ideas into our mind and attire,that is exactly what he fancied continuously since a specified time.
It's cumbersome to take in isn't it but that's certitude people!!.
I would like to quote his words here from "Minutes" which will clarify what I actually want to illustrate::In one point I fully agree with the gentleman to whose general views I am opposed.I feel with them that it is impossible for us,with our limited means,to attempt to educate the body of the people.We must at present do our best to form a class who may be interpreters between us and the millions who we govern,--a class of persons Indian in blood and colour,but English in tastes,in opinions,in morals and in intellect.To that class we may leave it to refine the vernacular dialects of the country,to enrich those dialects with terms of science borrowed from the Western nomenclature,and to render them by degrees fit vehicles for conveying knowledge to the great mass of population''...These were his marked words...!!
...yeah even I was angry for a while to witness whatsoever he delivered is what we are beholding presently...We are Indians but still u know when it comes to show class or luxury or awe-inspiring way of life we simply embrace western products be it Louis Vuitton,Prada,Gucci, Victoria's Secret,Chanel....etc so many more..Why is that? Because they are exorbitant yet exotic isn't it?
I wonder now in the pandemic situation as our economy is crashing and we are agravating deteriorately we are reimbursing by using the hashtag #Bevocalforlocal hence it's nothing simply alternative title of Swadeshi Movement started way too back by Mahatma Gandhi for ,striding and enlarging our Country in terms of Business growth and metamorphosis..!! I wonder how long it will last I guess until the lockdown lifts!
...People need to understand that we must glorify our own products our own culture our own National flag the roots why we are dignified universally we were always on top and by God's grace no one can clash or contend us in the field..it's an urge from my country to coalesce to fight back the pandemic with staunch grip by not being nincompoop but by amplifying together be it business or educational institutions.And this can't be possible without stalwart clench of hands ..!!!
