The article fails to emphasize that today Mahatma Gandhi is more relevant than ever. Because of its specialist fragmented thoroughly discredited views ignoring the fundamental facts on modern civilization whose consequences were foreseen by the despecialised vision of Mahatma Gandhi. He was witness to the omnicide by the West of the American Indian nations, the destruction in the West of her own pristine forests and subsequent destruction of our own and the American forests for their greedy conquests and the specialist witchcraft which they called proudly science and their application during their imperialist regimes. After clear felling of forests for their ships they found the need to dam the rivers for their gargantuan demands for water so surface water storage became the world order. The destruction of diversity and ecology was immediate. The tribes knew that forests do not create the earthquakes that dams are wreaking on the earth at the rate of three orders of magnitude more than in the predam era. He brought this havoc causing consequences of modern civilization of the half baked West eloquently to the notice of the world in his book Hind Swaraj in 1908: The East can meet the West when the West throws overboard almost the whole of modern civilization; the East can also meet the West when the East embraces modern civilization. But that will be an armed truce. We are seeing the totality of the destructive West's mining of nature in Climate Change. And we are seeing her hypocrisy in putting the blame on ghgs even when only 8 percent of climate change is due to ghgs and 92 percent is due to the world's dams. The ferocity of the dams of all the nations is infinitely more than the might of all the armed forces of the world put together. So the Mahatma is infinitely more powerfully relevant than violence today. The nations of the world must discard the way of the wars and with the bottomline as nature, busy themselves on top priority with the removal of dams the world over and allow forest regeneration and supplement with ubiquitous analogous diverse ecological reforestation with people's cooperatives for millennia. Gram Swaraj is relevant, not greedy selling of weapons for perpetuating omnicide. Jai Bharat, Jai Hind, Jai Jagat!

ReplyDeleteIn view of the importance of the 2nd stage of the nuclear programme, it is essential that no critical safety issue as for as survival of all life goes is left unaddressed. World dam dynamics has rendered the existing designs of modern civilization invalid including the nuclear power stations(1). Have the authorities factored in this vital design aspect for the Kalpakkam PROTOTYPE fast breeder reactor? The world's dams apply temperatures and pulls and pushes which can also render the PFBR'S DESIGN INVALID FOR SURVIVAL OF ALL.
