This was Lord Macaulay’s address to the British Parliament. This is exactly the reason why our education system is in shambles. The youngsters today are discarding the ancient wisdom passed on to us by our forefathers and instead are more inclined towards the so called “cool” western culture. And whats worse is that some of the so called secular parties celebrate Macaulay’s birthday every year hailing him as the father of modern Indian education. I’am not asking you to abandon english education and do some of the fanatical political groups do. But, atleast one can devote sometime everyday to study our ancient spiritual knowledge, so that the next generation is not at risk. I hope you take my words seriously.
thaats a very imp. post and should be read by everyone … sply yes+ ppl …. well done vinay !!
I’m writing to you as a student of anthropology at Temple University asking for your time to fill out this survey. This past summer, I spent six weeks in Gujarat, India. Most of my time there was shared with a family of jewelers. I noticed I was getting different answers within this family when I asked why they were adorning themselves in a particular way. In short, I created this survey because I want to show that meaning isn’t as simple as we interpret it to be. The goal of my exhibit is to display the various meanings of adornment in order to ward off generalizations that are often made about cultures. The following is a link to my survey. Any information about your individual opinion of each photograph is appreciated. Also, if you could pass this on to anyone you think would like to contribute, I would be grateful.
Thanks for your time,
