"Most Americans simply assumed that the uncivilized Native American was doomed for extinction in the face of civilization—similar to the idea that traditions such as Hinduism are doomed to succumb eventually to what is called ‘progress’."
"The theoretical frame work created by Christian theology and Enlightenment notions of progress and history became the received wisdom about the Natives’ inevitable fate."
Richard Slotkin on the Frontier Myth.
"The Myth of the Frontier is our oldest and most characteristic myth, expressed in a body of literature, folklore, ritual, historiography,and polemics produced over a period of three centuries.1/
Arre!! Abv was genuine question. Not political argument. I asked because you used "शास्त्र सम्मत परम्परा".
शास्त्र तो किसी के साथ अन्याय नही कर सकता। अगर करेगा तो अधर्म करने वाला हो जायेगा। पृश्य-अस्पृश्य का विज्ञान क्या है यह मेरा प्रश्न था।
As a Savarna what pains you more ? A Savarna girl marrying...
Lol!! Abv poll is to expose the hypocrisy. Dalit(Shudra) is part of Varnashrama and superior (in terms of Spiritual evolution) to a Malechha (a White or Black).
I will post the result tomorrow and you will be surprised.
I was slightly off here. Even "Antyaja" (ie those beyond Varnashrama and below Shudras) are superior to the best and best of Anarya nations. At least this what Karma Mimansa of Bhardwaja says.
Let me put it bluntly. Agar Congress ke prominent leaders Brahmin nahin hote to Gandhi ke "Ishwar Allah" ko Kabhee Bhee Hindus ne accept Nahin kiya hota.
Hindu society had thousands of years of faith in them when it comes to matters related to Ishwar, Dharma, Adhyatma etc. It was this faith of Hindu masses which was used to dupe them.

Even at that time 100% of non-anglicized Brahmins were opposing these "Angreji Padhe Likhe" Brahmins. But due to backing of Brit controlled state tiny fraction of Bs won against a their own Bs which were large in numbers but insignificant.

हे अर्जुन ! ईश्वर सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंके हृदयमें रहता है और अपनी मायासे शरीररूपी यन्त्रपर आरूढ़ हुए सम्पूर्ण प्राणियोंको (उनके स्वभावके अनुसार) भ्रमण कराता रहता है। 1/
Ideally British setup should have been dismantled in 1947 but Sekoolar-Savarnas kept it intact and replaced Goras with themselves. It was natural that one day their game will get exposed. That happened with rise of OBCs and SCs. 1/
